A wide range of National Parks, nature reserves and safari lodges and camps have been established throughout Sri Lanka, covering vast areas of bio-diverse terrain, all the way from Willpattu National Park in the north of the country, down to Yala National Park in the south with many others in between. Plenty of wildlife for you to see and lots to do, and no, not about hunting that was done away with about a century ago, after the Sri Lankan elephant population were decimated by big western game hunters. You’re out there to enjoy, get close to and photograph Sri Lankan wildlife and birds in their natural environment. On your Sri Lankan safari Tour you’ll also tour through some outstanding scenery.

In Sri Lanka beaches are ideal places for families and friends to meet and usually head to the beach on holidays, weekends, if only to gaze out at the sea. The natural noise of crashing waves, where you can walk leisurely along the beach at sunset, enjoy a game of cricket on the beach, laze in the sun or cast a rod and fish for night’s dinner. Whether it’s a lazy snorkel in crystal clear water or dive on a nearby reef, swim with a pod of friendly spinner dolphins in Kalpitiya, watch blue whales or dive onto a coral reef teaming with tropical fish marvelling at the explosion of colours hidden beneath the sea, or enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience with gentle but massive blue whale off the coast of Mirissa or cavort with friendly dolphins off Dondra head, Sri Lanka has it all.

You haven’t experienced pure enchantment until you’ve soared over Sri Lanka in a Hot Air Balloon. Because of its peaceful and dependable character, the environment in Dambulla – Kandalama is ideal for ballooning. Sri Lanka Balloon Rides are often held in the early morning (when the weather is more stable), and the usual distance we traverse, depending on wind speed and direction, ranges from one to 10 miles. The height at which we fly will range from tree top level – where we enjoy low level contour flying – to several thousand feet up: the ideal vantage point to admire the magnificence of the Dambulla – Kandalama area.

The waterways that surround Sri Lanka’s lovely island are teeming with wonderful views and treasures just waiting to be discovered.

The wind is light, and the water rarely falls below 23.5 degrees Celsius. It is recommended that you wear a wet suit to protect yourself against coral bruises.
