I didn’t do the tour advertised here, so I am responding to the other review that claims that Delft is inhospitable and that there is no food! Not true! Very hospitable and snacks, water, and bananas are easily available as well as lunch if one requests that in advance. Still, bring some water and your own snacks so you have something on hand. Stunning beaches, unique scenery and lovely people. It is quite an adventure!

I am not writing about the day trip to Nagadeepa and Delft. I’m strictly writing about people who are thinking about spending the night in Delft. DO NOT SPEND THE NIGHT IN DELFT AS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD OR DRINK ON THE ISLAND!!!! If you really feel the urge to see Delft, do this day trip but do not spend the night. There is only one hotel on the island and it does not even rate as average and the only thing they serve is string hoppers, and not before the overcrowded boat leaves af 7am. Delft is expensive and remote. There are no bars, cafes or restaurants there. Sri Lankans won’t tell you that there is virtually nothing to do on Delft. They will lead you to believe that it’s a lovely place to visit and tourists are treated right there. Do not listen to this talk.the place is inhospitable and the boat rides there and back are so full of clambering locals pushing to get a one square foot space at any cost. Sometimes the ride is very rough making it very difficult, only to arrive to an island where one can’t even get a cup of black tea. There are tours around the island showing you the sites. Interesting enough but as previously mentioned, do not stay over night. Do the tour then get the heck out of Delft. Even if you bring all your food and water, you will still run into problems because this island is not equipped to deal with visitors. Do not believe the talk that locals on Delft Island open their doors for visitors and feed them, it is not true. I cannot stress this enough; DO NOT STAY OVER NIGHT ON DELFT ISLAND, THERE IS NO FOOD.

I had a very good tour with Mohan to the Delft islands! He's a great tour guide. BUT don't book through ! They charged double the price of what it normally would be!!!
