Escape the crowded paths of the coast and embark on a truly serene adventure with the Urani Lagoon Safari. Just a short 20-minute drive north of Arugam Bay lies the tranquil local Tamil village of Urani, a peaceful community nestled beside this pristine body of water. This section is an extension of the beautiful Pottuvil Lagoon, covering approximately 200 acres of undisturbed habitat.
Our expertly guided tour invites you to experience one of the finest natural experiences in the region. Unlike other coastal trips, this lagoon safari Pottuvil offers a remote, intimate connection with nature. You can kick off your adventure in two spectacular sessions: choose the morning for a golden sunrise over the lagoon or the evening for a breathtaking sunset, the perfect time for wildlife to emerge.
Glide silently through the dense mangrove forests and over the calm waters on your boat safari in Sri Lanka. This is an incredibly rich ecosystem, home to a variety of marine life like fish, crabs, and prawns. It is also a critical corridor for larger mammals. While traversing this vast area, keep your eyes peeled for crocodiles and, most famously, wild Elephants, it is here you may witness the unique spectacle of an elephant drinking or bathing from the safe distance of your boat safari.
Your professional guide will enrich the journey with insights into the local culture of Pottuvil Town and the resilience of the villagers living peacefully after decades of conflict. The commitment to local sustainability is paramount; during the midway point of your lagoon safari pottuvil, you will receive an organic, complimentary drink to keep you refreshed.
Whether you are seeking the ultimate wildlife spectacle or simply a peaceful lagoon tour in Sri Lanka, the Urani Lagoon Safari is an unforgettable excursion. It is easily accessible for guests staying in Arugam Bay, Pottuvil, or Whiskey Point, making it the perfect remote river safari Sri Lanka alternative. Book your remote pottuvil lagoon safari today and connect with the untouched natural beauty of the East Coast.
