Watersports
Surrounded by the Indian Ocean bordered by golden beaches and with a vast network of rivers and lakes, both natural and man-made, Sri Lanka has an array of watersport activities to partake in. Ride the waves or skip over them, cruise the ocean and spot the biggest mammals in the deep, or go fishing to make the catch of a lifetime. Whatever you are looking for, there is no end to the fun and adventure of frolicking in the waters on the teardrop island.
There is something for every season. Surfing is best during October to April in the South-West and April onwards in the East. Kite Surfing is best from mid-May to the end of September, as the winds are at their best. Snorkelling and Scuba Diving can be attempted at any time, while water rafting is best during May to December.
