Jaffna: Delft and Nainativu Island Tour with Local Guide

Join a local guide for an unforgettable adventure to Delft Island and Nainativu, two of the most captivating and culturally rich islands off the coast of Jaffna. This full-day tour blends natural beauty, colonial history, and deep spiritual heritage.

Begin with a scenic boat ride to Delft Island, where time seems to slow down. Follow your local guide through the island’s windswept landscapes and ancient ruins. See remnants of Portuguese and Dutch rule, including a colonial pigeon tower and coral walls built centuries ago.

One of Delft’s unique charms is its population of wild horses, believed to be descendants of horses left behind during colonial times. They roam freely across the island’s open plains—an incredible sight for nature lovers and photographers alike.

After exploring Delft, continue by boat to Nainativu Island —a place of deep religious significance. This sacred island is home to both Nagapooshani Amman Kovil, a major Hindu pilgrimage site and Nagadeepa Purana Vihara, an important Buddhist temple.

Walk through these spiritual landmarks, experience the island's peaceful energy, and learn about its powerful role in Sri Lanka's multi-faith heritage.
