Two excellent dinner tours await in Negombo’s scenic lagoon. The top pick is an intimate dining boat experience ($98.17), offering a relaxing 3-hour cruise with a satisfying meal – perfect for small groups up to 8 people. For special occasions, splurge on the private dinner cruise ($220), which includes a gourmet 4-course meal and sparkling wine during a romantic 3-hour to full-day voyage.
