Beira Lake Dinner Cruise

Evening on Board Floating Restaurant Enjoy a relaxing evening dinner cruise on a lake in central Colombo. To provide protection against their inland enemies, Portuguese colonists built the artificial Beira Lake during the 16th century. Its waters were infested with crocodiles, and at the time of the Dutch occupation, a large artificial island was created to house a village and a large coconut plantation. Today, Beira Lake is a peaceful oasis within the business district of bustling Colombo. Take a short drive to the Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel and board the hotel’s floating restaurant. Get settled on board with a refreshing beverage as you begin your leisurely cruise of Beira Lake. Enjoy a delicious buffet dinner while two local musicians provide light background music. Gaze up through the translucent roof of the floating restaurant and admire the stars above you as you cruise. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines. Total time walking or standing is normally not longer than 1.5 hours.
