A 13-day coastal journey tracing Sri Lanka’s extraordinary western and southern shoreline from Kalpitiya in the northwest all the way to Tangalle in the deep south. Each beach destination has a completely different character, and the route is designed to experience that variety at a genuinely relaxed pace.
Kalpitiya Lagoon Safari
A boat safari through the mangrove lagoon channels with dolphin spotting in the open waters and the extraordinary flamingo-inhabited shallows of the Puttalam Lagoon.
Hiriketiya Horseshoe Bay
One of the south coast’s most beautiful recent discoveries, a sheltered cove with excellent surf, a striking Blue Lagoon viewpoint, and a laid-back atmosphere that most itineraries completely miss.
Rekawa Turtle Conservation
A seasonal evening visit to one of Sri Lanka’s most important turtle nesting beaches, where the conservation programme operates responsibly and the encounter is meaningful rather than commercial.
