Trekking & hiking
Sunrise climbs, tea-estate trails and Knuckles and Horton Plains walks with an expert guide.
Mornings usually give the clearest views, and the drier months are the most comfortable for walking.
Activities in Sri Lanka
Add something active to any journey.
Wildlife safari
Jeep safaris in Yala, Udawalawe and Minneriya for leopards, elephants and birds.
Yala is known for leopards (the drier months, roughly February to July, are good), and Udawalawe is the place for elephants.
Whitewater rafting
Kelani River rapids and calm-water paddles, with safety gear and trained crews.
Our team confirms the river level and conditions for your dates before you go.
Surfing
Lessons and board hire at Weligama, Arugam Bay and Hikkaduwa, for every level.
Weligama is gentle for beginners roughly November to April, while Arugam Bay is best from around May to September.
Snorkelling & diving
Coral reefs, shipwrecks and turtle bays, with certified instructors.
Calm seas matter most, so the south coast works best roughly November to April.
Whale & dolphin watching
Blue whale season boat trips from Mirissa and Trincomalee.
Blue whale season off Mirissa and Weligama is roughly November to April; Trincomalee is better from May to September.
Hot air ballooning
Float over Sigiriya and Dambulla at sunrise, a quiet way to see the island.
Balloon flights go at sunrise and depend on the weather, so we usually plan a spare day.
Jet ski & water sports
Jet skis, banana boats and parasailing on the west and south coasts.
Great fun on the west and south coasts, and best in calm weather.
