Sunshine Boat Tours
A local welcome on the water
Sunshine Boat Tours is built around a simple idea: the best experiences feel personal, thoughtful and connected to place.
Our story

We want visitors to experience Negombo beyond the postcard. That means sharing the calm, the colour and the living culture of the lagoon with genuine hospitality.
