Kayaking can be enjoyed year-round in Sri Lanka, but the best time depends on the location. For west and south coast destinations such as Bentota and Negombo, the ideal months are from November to April, when the waters are calm and weather conditions are most favorable. For east coast locations like Trincomalee and Arugam Bay, the best period is May to September. Morning and late afternoon sessions are recommended for a more comfortable and scenic experience.
No prior kayaking experience is required. This activity is suitable for beginners, and a safety briefing along with basic paddling instructions is provided before the experience begins. An experienced local guide accompanies the group throughout the activity, ensuring safety and assistance, making it ideal for first-time kayakers, families, couples, and solo travelers.
