    WOW! Such a fun experience! We got the boat ride to tour Kandy lake. It's really cheap and was expecting a lot more really! Our guide showed us some nice things around the lake and we even got to spot a giant lizard (probably the size of a crocodile). It was a really fun experience and you get to take great pictures of Kandy , temple of the tooth relic and various hotels around the lake. It only takes 20 minutes and really great fun!

    Giving a safe ride around the Kandy lake. its a nice experience. Feel the wind and the beauty of the Lake. Boat ride little expensive if you plan to sail alone. better wait for some of others and sail as a group.

    It was a really good boat ride. I went with my wife and we paid for the whole boat for the ride and it was only 2500. I suggested that every foreigner should try that boat ride in kandy. It was unforgettable and the sceneries I saw was really beautiful. The guy who operated the boat was really friendly and he explained me everything about kandy lake and story of kandy kingdom. And he took beautiful pictures of me and my wife as well. I went on it twice cause it’s worth it and it’s something someone shouldn’t miss in their journey to Kandy. Yeah

    A must get experience at Kandy however the boat riders and the organizers act like they give more money to us for the boat ride. So rude to people and no good customer service at all. Social distancing is also not practicing.

    This boat service is very old and the safety is assured with experienced boatmen. They charge LKR 2,000/= per ride. (NOT per person!!!) Very good feeling and children love it!! The boatman was very friendly and proactively stopped the boat at couple of places to take photographs and was detailing about the history, endemic fauna flora as well.

    Wow, didn't expect the experience, good guide, told the entire history about the lake, the palace and the city. Family package was expensive for the ride but was worth it. Lovey people and awesome service

    It was an okay boat ride. Rs.1000 per person for locals. Just a one off thing to do if you are visiting Kandy. Make sure you take an umbrella because you never know when I might rain in the middle of the ride. They do not have any cover.

    Today, we had a wonderful boat ride with Joy Boat Service on Kandy Lake, and it was truly an enjoyable experience from start to finish. The 15-minute tour we embarked on was simply delightful, offering us a memorable journey around the picturesque lake. At a cost of 4500 SLR, the price was reasonable for the fantastic time we had. During the tour, we were able to witness the lake's natural beauty up close and encounter various fascinating wildlife. The sightings of turtles, fish, a diverse range of birds, and even bats added an exciting element to the boat ride, making it all the more memorable. One of the highlights of the experience was the exceptional service provided by the Joy Boat team. The staff members were friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable about the area, enriching our journey with interesting insights. Their warm and welcoming demeanor made us feel at ease throughout the entire trip. The boat ride itself was smooth and effortless, allowing us to relax and soak in the breathtaking scenery surrounding Kandy Lake. We were provided with safety vests, which added an extra layer of security and peace of mind during the excursion. Overall, our boat ride with Joy Boat Service was an absolute pleasure. The combination of stunning scenery, diverse wildlife sightings, and excellent service made it a truly memorable experience. We highly recommend this boat tour to anyone visiting Kandy, as it offers a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty.
