The lovely island of Sri Lanka has secured a reputation as an attractive holiday destination. For water sports lovers the Bentota River will provide an excellent locality for water activities.
Bentota
Bentota was one of the first places to develop as a tourist resort area in Sri Lanka. The key factors contributing to this was the beautiful sandy beaches, the close proximity to the capital as well as the south of the country and not to forget the Bentara Ganga, the river that borders one side of the town.
River Safari
One of the most outstanding things to do in Sri Lanka would be going on a river safari along the river Bentara. If you are planning a trip to this part of the country, base yourself in a resort in Bentota such as the AVANI Bentota Resort & Spa and explore the mangroves and other attractions in and around the area.
Exploring the Mangroves
Easily accessible by boat as they lie close to the river bank, boat trips to explore the mangroves are offered throughout the day, every day unless affected by the weather. Kayaks can be hired from the many sports centres in hotels on the river bank to explore the mangroves at leisure.
Wildlife
This would be a perfect opportunity for the love birds to relax and enjoy the teeming wild life in action while cruising along the river. Moreover, safari along the river Bentara would permit you to watch birds of prey in action as watching a wild life channel on live telecast.
