LEISURE ACTIVITIES
From night dives to freediving, from jetskiing to sunset cruises, we have it all. Truly.
Watersports
The bay here is famously calm. Flat, warm, and about as forgiving as water gets, which makes it perfect territory for trying something new. Kayak along the shoreline, catch a lesson in stand-up paddleboarding, or simply drift and let the afternoon do its thing.
Excursions
Sri Lanka's east coast rewards those willing to venture inland. Step inside centuries-old temples steeped in tradition, or head further afield to the UNESCO sites and national parks that make this island one of the most storied in Asia. However you like to explore, Pasikudah rewards the curious.
Diving
Pasikudah's calm, shallow bay is great for underwater exploring. Whether you're logging your very first dive or your hundredth, our dive centre will take care of every minute of the trip out.
