Activities & Experiences
The experiences that become the story you tell back home — blue whales off Mirissa, sea turtles at your fingertips, mangrove tunnels and birdsong at dawn.
Activities & experiences
Temples and forts are wonderful, but it's the whale breaching beside the boat, the turtle gliding past your mask, the mangrove tunnel closing over your head that end up as the screensaver. These are the experiences we slot into trips — as a highlight day, or the whole reason you came. Every one can be added to a tour or done on its own.
When to do what
Whales, turtles and birds all keep their own calendars. Tap the month you're travelling to see what's at its best — the green bars are the sweet spots.

Not at all. The turtle snorkelling at Mirissa and Hikkaduwa is in calm, shallow water close to shore, and everyone wears a life jacket. If you can put your face in the water and kick gently, you're set — we've had complete non-swimmers float happily above turtles. We'll always keep an eye on you and there's no pressure to go further than you're comfortable.
Tell us your dates and what you'd love to see. We'll send a friendly, no-obligation itinerary and quote within 24 hours.
