Bentota offers a mix of river adventures and beach activities. The river safari is a highlight, showcasing wildlife in serene mangrove settings. Water sports are abundant, making it a lively spot for thrill-seekers.
The Bentota river safari is a 2-hour boat trip through mangrove forests where you can see crocodiles, water monitor lizards, and various bird species.
You can enjoy jet skiing, banana boat rides, water skiing, and more. The river is the hub for these activities.
2-3 nights is enough. It's great for families and water sports lovers, but less authentic than other parts of the south coast.
