Experiences in Bentota

So many turtles, so little time. The Green Turtle, Hawksbill, Loggerhead, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles. Catch the release of baby turtles back into the sea. A truly miraculous sight that makes you never look at turtles the same way again.

Take a tuk-tuk through Bentota village. Stop at handicraft shops and stores selling the legendary Sri Lankan tea. Light refreshments are served after an action-packed two-hour tour.

This formidable fort remained virtually unscathed through the tsunami. Enjoy a scenic drive to the fort and explore its monuments and history, and feel the droplets of waves on its walls and you.

A trip to the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage – home to the largest herd of elephants in captivity in the world – is where old, rescued or injured elephants come to rest. The 24-acre orphanage is located in Rambukkana, halfway between Colombo and the ancient royal residence Kandy, in the hills of central Sri Lanka. There’s nothing more endearing than baby elephants.

Here is a cruise like none other. Observe the traditional lifestyle of inhabitants and the fascinating coastal wetland ecosystem teeming with plant and animal life, a Buddhist temple, a cinnamon plantation and hold a baby alligator (if available). All in a day’s play.

Take a launch for the port of Galle, a comfortable 70-minute drive from this luxury beach resort, for an experience of a lifetime. From October to March, every year herds of whales and dolphins frolic in the waters. This dance of joy among prized sea creatures will linger with you long after the cruise is over.
