Bentota Water Sports Tour

Description

The calm waters of the broad Bentota Ganga Lagoon are perfect for a wide range of thrilling activities throughout the year, making Bentota the de facto watersports capital of Sri Lanka. The area is popular among visitors, who come to enjoy windsurfing, kitesurfing, water-skiing and banana-boat rides on the river. In addition, angling enthusiasts can spend a rewarding day aboard a fishing boat as a variety of game fish including marlin, barracuda and tuna thrive in the waters. Diving and snorkelling are also popular activities along the coast and can be enjoyed from November through to April before the monsoon arrives. Canoe Rock is among the most notable dive sites in Bentota, accessible to divers of all levels. With extensive colonies of beautiful coral and
schools of brightly coloured fish, this is a very large site that requires several dives to be explored fully. Equipment rental, lessons and package deals are all available at hotels, guesthouses and watersports centres in Bentota.
