East Coast

Sri Lanka’s water resources are stuff of legend. With as many as 200 rivers, countless lakes, and reservoirs, and of course, the great blue ocean that surrounds it, Sri Lanka is truly blessed with more than its fair share of water. The inland bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and lagoons, and the ocean also provide Sri Lankans with one of their main sources of protein in the form of fish and other seafood. For this reason, Sri Lanka is now beginning to become a hotspot of inland and Deep sea fishing Sri Lanka holidays.

Your experience in Deep sea fishing Sri Lanka can be a relaxing day of catching fish in a calm river at morning or dusk, or it can be the excitement of going out on a larger boat to the deep sea and helping catch the big fish. Sri Lanka’s oceanic waters are known to contain the nutrients and the temperatures for the best tasting fish to breed, while the local population’s use of spices and herbs in combination with recipes handed down over the generations make seafood dishes in the country taste even better.

Inland, you would catch smaller freshwater and brackish water fish, while in the deep sea, you will be able to catch larger fish such as grouper, tuna, barracuda, and several others.

With Sri Lanka Day Tours, you don’t need Deep sea fishing experience to go on a Deep sea fishing tour Sri Lanka. All you need will be provided – life jackets, a boat, and an experienced guide and crew.

A glance at a world map will show you that Sri Lanka is a tiny island just north of the equator in the Indian Ocean. The warm nutrient-rich waters, the hot tropical weather, and an ideal location makes Sri Lanka the perfect holiday destination for lovers of diving – shallow or deep. Diving in Sri Lanka’s waters is a treat, as the island is ranked very high in biodiversity – in the ocean more than in land – and some treats are available off the coasts in the form of coral reefs and even shipwrecks.

Sri Lanka diving tours are always a different experience each time, as the currents shift lighter things around the seafloor, and the species range you will find on one day might differ drastically a few months later. The waters are known for their endemic species of fish, crustaceans, and other ocean dwellers.

Snorkelling and scuba diving in Sri Lanka is not just limited to the more popular west coast of the island. The amazing diversity, in terms of beach terrain, in terms of wildlife available, and in terms of the culture and history of the area surrounding the diving and snorkelling spots make for a fun experience whether you are well-experienced in diving or are an amateur.

All our snorkelling and diving tours include at least one certified guide; you will also be provided the safety equipment and training required. Browse through the snorkelling and scuba diving itineraries below to see which one suits you the best.
