island tours that I went to in 2018. Ok Let's start the story.

of the most beautiful islands in Sri Lanka. Nedunthiew or Nedunthiew is an island

We went to Jaffna Town early in the morning because the bus (776) going from Delft to Kurikadwan Jetty left Nainathivu at 6:30 am.
We went in it and disembarked from Kurikadwan jetty at 7:45. At 8 o'clock we have the boat to Delft. The Navy people are very supportive.
We then boarded the boat to go to Delft.
It's a must-have experience, an hour-long trip on the sea.
We got off the boat around 9:30
We got off the jetty and came forward. Got our details from the Navy and checked our ID.
When you go to Delft, you feel like you have gone to a different country because the environment there is very different.
All houses and buildings are made of stones. Delft is a great place to taste palm wine.
