Why go surfing in sri lanka?
While you're probably in the know that Sri Lanka is one of the best places to explore wildlife, beaches and history - there's a whole different experience that is rather undiscovered. Surfing in Sri Lanka arguably ranks among the best in all of Asia.
Whether you're a pro or coming here to learn, you're set to be wowed by all the authentic, local and immersive experiences that are in store. Most beginner surf camps in Sri Lanka range from 5-7 days and depending on your style of travel we can discover the options to design a trip that is as surf intensive as you like.
The teardrop shaped island nation makes for a fantastic place to go Surfing for several legit reasons. Be it the respectful size of the waves (making it great if you're just starting off) or the year round tropical weather and warm oceans, there's plenty going for it. You're also assured to find some seriously top-rated gastronomic experiences in Sri Lanka along with a perfect blend of nature and culture. What also makes this a brilliant destination for Surfing is the affordable luxury in Sri Lanka, which means you can enjoy the best of indulgence and adventure.
A GLIMPSE OF what's possible..
Day 1: Arrival into Sri Lanka & head to Weligama: Once you're in, allow us to take care of the hassles. On arrival you will be met contactlessly by our local representative (wearing a face mask and gloves) who will transfer you by a private hygienic vehicle to the hotel in Weligama. Check-in to your haven and relax on Day 1 at a boutique hotel by the ocean.
Day 2 & 3: Surfing in Weligama: Beautiful tropical weather year round makes for warm oceans that are perfect even if you're surfing for the first time. We spend the next two days getting you set up with all the fix on Surfing. You'll have a friendly and helpful instructor that will get you acquainted with the basics and depending on the swell, we'll also head towards Midigama, Mirrisa for the best surf.
Day 4, 5 & 6: Surfing in Hiriketiya: After a few days in Weligama, we head to our next base around 40 km further south to Hiriketiya. This go to surf destination is blessed with beautiful coves and nice left handers making it the ideal place to catch some swell. Each evening we hit local bars and perhaps even catch a gig at Dot's Bay House. If you're a seafood lover, prepare for paradise.
Day 7 & 8: Cool off in Galle: A beautiful concoction of Dutch, Portuguese and British influence makes Galle one of the most charming parts of Sri Lanka. This laid back mostly car-free town is the perfect place to just enjoy some downtime after a week of hitting the surfs. We'll let you in on the best haunts and authentic local experiences at this colonial gem.
Day 9: Bella Ciao: All good things come to and end, don't they? This morning after breakfast we'll head back to Colombo and depending on what time you're flying out we could explore more of this amazing city or head straight to the airport. If you have more time on hand, consider even staying a night or two as we show you around the best cafes, rooftop bars and incredible restaurants. Your vacation, your rules.
