Loving It Sri Lanka
A 7-day Sri Lanka beach tour through golden sands, coral reefs, marine wildlife, northern heritage and tropical lagoons
Overview
This 7-day Sri Lanka beach tour follows a coastline that changes character every hundred kilometres. You’ll snorkel with blacktip reef sharks off Pigeon Island, watch blue whales surface in the deep water beyond Mirissa, and drift through mangrove tunnels on the Madu River. In between there’s crab curry in Jaffna, turtles feeding in the shallows at Dalawella, and enough golden sand to lose track of what day it is.
