Authentic Ceylon Story

What Makes This Experience Special

For thrill-seekers visiting Sri Lanka's southwest coast, Bentota is the undisputed capital of high-speed marine adventure. Where the expansive Bentota Ganga River meets the Indian Ocean, a wide, sheltered lagoon creates ideal, mirror-flat water conditions unaffected by rough ocean chop.

Take the helm of a powerful modern jet ski to carve across the open estuary with the wind in your hair. For board sport enthusiasts, professional ski boats equipped with wake towers provide the perfect wake for wakeboarding, water skiing, and kneeboarding under the guidance of certified local instructors.

Families and groups of friends will love the adrenaline rush of inflatable banana boat rides and flying donuts, towed at exhilarating speeds across the lagoon with twists, turns, and refreshing splashes. For a different perspective, take to the skies on a parasailing flight for panoramic aerial views of the golden sand spit, coconut groves, and shimmering ocean.

All water sports centers partnered with Traviceylon feature top-tier safety standards, modern Yamaha and Sea-Doo equipment, certified life jackets, and licensed rescue boats on constant standby.

After your high-energy session, relax at our private riverside pavilion with chilled king coconuts and fresh tropical fruit platters before continuing your journey.
