Nainativu Island Tour

Boat trip to holy Island It takes about 20 minutes to reach the beautiful island by passenger boats which are available in every 15 minutes during the day time. Prior to that, we have to cross several islands from Jaffna town by causeway and roads for one hour. On the way we may check the Chatty beach and other island life including colorful Hindu temples and architectural churches.
