New adventures, old treasures. Come explore.
Beyond beachside bliss you will find many things to do in Kalutara. You can explore the nearby attractions or take excursions further away; or get your daily dose of exercise by enjoying our sports facilities and activations.
If you are a nature lover, Sri Lanka is your Eden. Apart from the ocean, there are diverse natural habitats from mangroves to rivers to explore nearby, and rainforests and plantations, waterfalls and mountains further inland. There are nature reserves and wildlife parks a day’s excursion away too. Being a melting pot of different races, religions and traditions from centuries ago, the Southern coast is diverse in cultural and historical interest too. You can visit ancient Buddhist temples; ornate Dutch and Portuguese churches from the colonial era, mosques and Hindu shrines as well as witness the festivals and traditions they honour from time immemorial. Prefer your days to be more adventurous? You can go diving, snorkelling or deep sea fishing – maybe even exploring shipwrecks. There are water sports centres nearby if you want to Jet Ski or windsurf. The Southern coast is world renowned for Blue Whales and dolphins, so take a boat trip to see them. Take a river boat safari through the mangrove forests and explore little islands along the way.
If you want to explore all the treasures found further afield around the island, talk to us and we can plan excursions with a tailor-made itinerary to take in all the sights that interest you and the activities you would like to enjoy.
