Are you visiting Sri Lanka in the summer? Tourists exploring Sri Lanka between May and September have all the same opportunities as those on a more traditional winter tour, including the heritage sites of the Cultural Triangle, tea plantations in the Kandyan foothills, and access to wildlife parks. However, for your beach time, the best weather is found on the east coast instead of the south-west. This is switch is due to Sri Lanka’s dual monsoon season which causes each side of the island’s coastline to come into its own at opposite times of the year.
There is no shortage of summer season water-sports to be enjoyed along Sri Lanka’s east coastline, including fun-filled family-friendly options like snorkelling and jet-skiing. From world-class surfing in Arugam Bay to sailing adventures to private coves, these amazing activities are sure to be the highlight of your summer holiday in Sri Lanka. There are also opportunities for water-sports elsewhere in the island including kite-surfing and exhilarating white-water rafting adventures.
