  3 Hour Trip –Private Fishing Escape on January 5, 2026 • 3 adults

  The trip is not as advertised. The crew was nice, but the equipment was primative. We spent 2 out of the 3 hours just going in circles. There were no rods given to us. We paid 450 dollars for something I would not have done for free.

  Response from Charter operator

  January 17, 2026

  Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to kindly clarify a few important points to avoid any misunderstanding. This excursion was a fishing tour, and as agreed, we provided three fishing rods for your group. In addition, we also arranged traditional hand-line fishing, which is a common and authentic fishing method in Sri Lanka. However, this option was offered to you and politely declined. Fishing practices and styles can vary significantly from country to country. Experiences in destinations such as Turkey cannot always be compared directly with Sri Lanka, as local culture, techniques, and conditions are different. What was offered to you reflects how fishing tours are traditionally conducted here. Regarding the boat, we informed you clearly before the tour that the originally advertised speed boat was undergoing engine repairs. You personally saw the boat in question, and with your understanding, we arranged an alternative vessel to proceed with the tour. We are pleased to hear that you found our crew to be kind and helpful, as professionalism and guest care are very important to us. While we respect your opinion, we believe the tour was conducted transparently and as discussed prior to departure. Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Kind regards, Chandi Abeywardana Mirissa Water Sports
