Watersports

Sri Lanka is considered to be one of the most reliable surf destinations in the Indian Ocean offering high quality and consistent waves, so for older kids who may want to try surfing for the first time, or who are already accomplished, try the waves at Tallala Beach Resort - Neutral Wind is a few minutes away, the local beach break catering for all range of surfers. It is an immaculate palm lined beach where most of the time you will find yourself surfing alone. Alternatively the surf at Hikkaduwa is good for beginners, and is easily accessible from nearby Aditya Resort. Kite Surfing is becoming increasingly popular and there are centres at Negombo, Tangalle and Hikkaduwa. Children over the age of 10 can learn to dive at any of the PADI certified schools in the Maldives, however snorkelling is fun, easy and free for children of all ages, and the calm lagoons of the Maldives make it a safe place to explore the underwater world.
