Coral Watching

Sri Lanka’s coastal waters are home to vibrant coral reefs that offer travelers a chance to explore the island’s stunning marine biodiversity. Coral watching is one of the most popular tourist activities, especially in Hikkaduwa, Pigeon Island (Trincomalee), and Nilaveli, where reefs teem with colorful fish, sea turtles, and exotic marine life.

Visitors can enjoy coral watching in two ways:

• Glass-Bottom Boat Rides – Perfect for families and non-swimmers, offering a clear view of corals and marine life without getting wet.

• Snorkeling & Diving – For adventure seekers, diving beneath the surface reveals a kaleidoscope of coral gardens and underwater wonders.

Coral watching is more than an activity—it’s an immersive nature experience, letting travelers witness the delicate beauty of Sri Lanka’s marine ecosystems while creating unforgettable memories.
