Top water sports activities in Sri Lanka – Stories of adventure and thrill

Sri Lanka is an island nation that has many splendid beaches. So why not carry out some exciting water sports activities when you are there, under the correct supervision? Trying out these water sports in Sri Lanka will totally be a different experience and you'll love it all.

1

Surfing

Surfing is not at all a new sports activity. But, we all love to surf when we come to Sri Lanka. The secret lies with the crashing waves that are ideal for surfing. If you are a beginner, note that what you should master first - is patience. You should wait patiently for the right wave to come and then ride it like a pro.

2

Jet Skiing

One of the most popular Bentota attractions is its beach that's peaceful and calm. If you get the chance to go to the beach and spend some hours while you spend your holiday at a resort the likes of Heritance Ahungalla, have a jet-skiing session of 10 minutes or so. If you are afraid to try it yourself, you can take the assistance of a guide and he will do the ride for you. You just have to be on the back seat and enjoy the experience throughout the ride.

Scuba Diving and snorkelling

Not all beaches offer diving or snorkelling moments in Sri Lanka. But if you get lucky enough to visit the beaches in Hikkaduwa, Trincomalee, Kalpitiya, and Unawatuna, you may join the snorkelling crowds and, the equipment you need will also be provided by the snorkeling centers you go to. Your snorkelling moments will surely be wonderful thanks to the vibrant fish and the coral reefs in the deep sea.

Kite surfing

Kite surfing in Sri Lanka is interesting. When kite surfing, you are doing snowboarding, windsurfing, surfing, paragliding, and gymnastics all at once, and that's the most fascinating thing about this sports activity. One of the most preferred kite surfing spots in the country is Kalpitiya, and this is mainly because of the ideal geographical settings and also its regular windy conditions.

Sailing

Sri Lanka is a country surrounded by water. So why not explore its coasts with a sailing cruise? The east, west, south, or the north coasts are all yours to explore, and each of these coasts will grant the best experience during different periods of the year. You can also say hi to various sea creatures like whales on some cruises, and they will all add up beautiful memories to your vacation.
