Description

Akurala has been the main area in Sri Lanka for lime stones back in 1940s. Lime stone mining has been the main occupation of the villagers for decades and those pits have been left for decades and they've become water reservoirs which are covered by mangroves. This has become a habitat for a huge range of wildlife including rare species of birds, water monitors, bats and many more. This provides you a tranquil atmosphere while you kayak on serene waters through greenish mangroves. You will have the opportunity to stay right under a running train while kayaking. This kayaking event added with tranquility, fun and a bit of adventure would give you the best kayaking experience in Sri Lanka.

Kayaking fun!

The kayaking trip was wonderful from start to finish! From the king coconuts that we were given on arrival to watching the train go past at the end of the kayak, everything was so well organised. Kayaking through mangroves and watching the variety of wildlife, including eagles, was an experience that I’ll never forget. We even went for a swim ! Kaluuu and Neranjan were the perfect guides and I’d highly recommend this trip.

Value for money great experience

We had a welcome coconut and drink when arrived. It was all well organised and safe for adults and children. Great going through the mangos and a swim midway in the sea was very much appreciated. Great way to spend couple of hours. Definitely recommend it Kim
