Snorkelling and Scuba Diving in Sri Lanka

A glance at a world map will show you that Sri Lanka is a tiny island just north of the equator in the Indian Ocean. The warm nutrient-rich waters, the hot tropical weather, and an ideal location makes Sri Lanka the perfect holiday destination for lovers of diving – shallow or deep. Diving in Sri Lanka’s waters is a treat, as the island is ranked very high in biodiversity – in the ocean more than in land – and some treats are available off the coasts in the form of coral reefs and even shipwrecks.

Sri Lanka diving tours are always a different experience each time, as the currents shift lighter things around the seafloor, and the species range you will find on one day might differ drastically a few months later. The waters are known for their endemic species of fish, crustaceans, and other ocean dwellers.

Snorkelling and scuba diving in Sri Lanka is not just limited to the more popular west coast of the island. The amazing diversity, in terms of beach terrain, in terms of wildlife available, and in terms of the culture and history of the area surrounding the diving and snorkelling spots make for a fun experience whether you are well-experienced in diving or are an amateur.

All our snorkelling and diving tours include at least one certified guide; you will also be provided the safety equipment and training required. Browse through the snorkelling and scuba diving itineraries below to see which one suits you the best.

White Water Rafting in Sri Lanka

With over 100 rivers across the island, Sri Lanka boasts rich water resources that flow at all kinds of rates. Over the past two decades, a relatively new extreme sport has been gaining popularity with locals as well as visitors from other nations: Sri Lanka white water rafting has become the no. 1 extreme sport in the country.

Sri Lanka’s central region is mountainous and has a lot of rivers. When water flows at speed through rough terrain, it becomes bubbly, and we call this white water. Rafting in Sri Lanka through these turbulent waters, you will feel a sense of adventure like never before. White water rafting in Sri Lanka is popular because of several reasons. The less turbulent areas of the ride may be a great time to see wildlife, especially birds of many varieties and several species of monkey. The calmness does not last too long, though, as the main event – the rapids – come at you and toss and turn you with all its might. When white water rafting, you lose control of everything, and your body takes over to try to survive the experience. The sudden adrenaline rush you get when this happens is second to none.

Sri Lanka Day Tours offers Sri Lankan white water experiences with a difference. Your tour may include activities such as a nature trail or some fun activities added. Safety equipment and training is provided at the beginning of each tour and you will be accompanied by an instructor/guide throughout.
