If you visit the charming town of Bentota, you will have the opportunity to engage in a wide range of water sports including jet-skiing, diving, catamaran sailing, windsurfing, banana boating and more.
There is nothing quite like jet-skiing to get a smile on the face and the adrenaline pumping. At Bentota, you will be able to get out onto the waters and thrillingly pilot your willing jet-ski. If you have no experience in this exhilarating water sport, you are likely to find that it is not that difficult to get the hang of controlling one of these powerful machines. As you gain experience, you will achieve the confidence to reach high speeds and take daring manoeuvres. Bentota, with its striking ocean and beach views as well as lagoon, will be a splendid setting for enjoyable jet-skiing.
Diving would be another great choice in Bentota as you will find a mesmerising undersea world beneath the waters off the coast. Divers will encounter a breathtaking selection of sea creatures including reef fish, corals, various crustaceans and many more. You will find that there are three major diving sites in and around Bentota, namely South Reef, Canoe Rock and Hundirangala. If you choose to go diving at South Reef, you will have the opportunity to encounter marine creatures like lionfish, porcupine fish, octopuses and perhaps, reef sharks. On the other hand, Hundirangala offers shallow waters whilst also being relatively simple to navigate in.
There is no doubt that windsurfing is a popular and well-established water sport with numerous enthusiasts indulging in this activity around the world. Windsurfing offers a unique experience that is quite different from any other water sport. Even though it may not be the simplest water sport to learn, once it is mastered, windsurfing will provide hours of rewarding satisfaction. You are also likely to find that windsurfing here will be significantly cheaper compared to some other venues across the world too. As you enjoy such things to do in Bentota, a choice of accommodation to consider from which you could go windsurfing would be Saman Villas.
For a simple yet undeniably exciting activity that almost every visitor to Bentota may enjoy, banana boating would be the water sport of choice. No specialised skill is needed; all that you must do is to put on your lifejacket, climb aboard the banana boat and hang on for the ride! The pilot of a motorboat or speedboat pulling this inflatable "tube" will take sudden unexpected manoeuvres so that it will be a challenge for riders to stay astride the craft. As you might expect, this will be an entertaining experience that will delight the adventurous visitor to Bentota including families.
Catamaran sailing would be an excellent option for those who seek tranquillity and relaxation in a water sport rather than speed-filled thrills. You will find that Bentota will be a great setting for a catamaran adventure as it will provide picturesque scenery, pleasant weather and shimmering seas for the visitor. The catamaran will take you into the expanses of the ocean and on large vessels, you can just enjoy some relaxation on the deck. If you choose a luxury catamaran cruise, you may savour some freshly made snacks along with some cool champagne on your excursion.
