What people say

Ravindu DTH
"Hikkaduwa, a lively coastal town on Sri Lanka’s southwestern coast, is a hotspot for beach lovers, surfers, and partygoers. Famous for its coral reefs and clear blue waters, Hikkaduwa offers incredible snorkeling and diving opportunities, allowing you to explore vibrant marine life up close. The town has a laid-back vibe by day, with beachfront cafes and shops lining the golden sands, and a buzzing nightlife scene as the sun sets. Surfers flock to the consistent waves, while others enjoy glass-bottom boat rides or simply relax by the beach. The nearby **Hikkaduwa Coral Sanctuary** is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. **Pro tip:** November to April is the best season for water activities. Don't miss the chance to meet the gentle sea turtles that often visit the shore! "
