Bentota Tourism Packages

Situated on the southern tip of Galle district, Bentota is a Sri Lankan tourist town which is a popular holiday destination for those looking for a brief yet adventure-filled vacation. The Bentota Tourism Package offers you a lot of well-planned options that allows you to enjoy the best of this beach town. One thing that Bentota is famous for is its water sports activities. While taking rest is the preferred form of break for some, there are a lot of us who like to unwind by being involved in adventurous activities. For those who have the same train of thought, the water sports activities conducted in and around the area are something to look forward to. Go a little north towards Aluthgama and you will find water sports operators like Sunshine Water Sports Center and SRP Water Sports. These operators are right on the riverfront and provide both equipment and training courses for sports like windsurfing, waterskiing and surfboarding. For those who have taken part in water sports before, just go ahead after renting the appropriate equipment for the water sport you like. For others, it is important that you take courses for different water sports. Once you know the tips and tricks, you can jump into the sea and let the waves splash as you make your way through them on the open sea. It is important to understand here that proper safety precautions should be exercised so that your water sports experience is a safe and memorable one. For those with a preference of the less dramatic, you can take a 2-3 hours river safari where you get a view of the land while you advance through the river. The safari makes for a good opportunity to take some memorable photos. The operator’s charges for these safaris are based on a standard charge and the prevailing fuel prices at the time. After taking part in these activities, there is always the more relaxing option of chilling at the beach. Grab hold of a beach lounge bed and take in the immaculate and refreshing views of the sunset or a sunrise from the beach. You can also grab a bite to eat or have a drink at the shacks on the beach. For those going there with their families, Bentota Beach is particularly enjoyable as you can play in the sand, experience the waves touching your feet and take a quick dip in the sea water. Apart from the beach and the water sports, there are a lot of other things to do and a lot of tourist spots to visit in and around Bentota. Firstly, you can check out the Cinnamon Island which is located near Bentota. Chances are that you might get there during one of your river safaris. The Cinnamon Island is the sole effort of a single family which has a rich tradition of growing cinnamon through the generations. You will get to see the vast plantations of cinnamon here as well as learn about the cinnamon growing and processing techniques. Next in line is the Chaplon Tea Centre that boasts of Sri Lanka’s finest tea. You can purchase some fine tea here and even enjoy a cup of tea on its terrace. For the shopaholic in you, there is the Aluthgama Market and the Cargills Food City where you get to experience the hustle-bustle of the island and purchase a variety of goods.

To get a rich experience of the Buddhist culture, you can visit Kande Vihare Temple, Sri Kalyanarama Maha Viharaya and the Galapota Temple. While Kande Vihare has the biggest stupa of Buddha in the whole of Sri Lanka, the one at Galapota is equally impressive.
