Description

Discover the beauty of Kalpitiya on a day tour from Colombo. Enjoy dolphin watching, relax on the beach, try kitesurfing, and explore local culture.
Start your day soaking in the untouched charm of Kalpitiya Beach. With wide stretches of golden sand and clear waters, this beach is perfect for a morning stroll, sunbathing, or just relaxing in a peaceful setting away from the crowds.

Next, head out early on a boat safari into the Indian Ocean for a breathtaking marine wildlife experience. Spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and even blue whales can often be spotted.

For adventure seekers, try kitesurfing, windsurfing, or kayaking in the Kalpitiya Lagoon under the guidance of certified instructors (pre-booking recommended).

If you’re craving a bit of wildlife, extend your day to include a safari at Wilpattu National Park, Sri Lanka’s largest and oldest national park, located about 1.5 hours from Kalpitiya. The park is famous for leopards, sloth bears, elephants, and diverse birdlife.

Visit one of Sri Lanka’s oldest and most revered Christian pilgrimage sites. The church, believed to be over 400 years old, is a peaceful spiritual site located near the beach with significant historical and cultural value.

Take a short detour through the local salt pans and fishing communities, where you can witness traditional salt harvesting and the coastal way of life. It’s a quiet and authentic way to experience local culture.
