Children's Activities in Sri Lanka

Its golden beaches, child-friendly waters, bountiful wildlife and numerous exploration sites mean there is a varied range of children’s activities in Sri Lanka; it is far from a destination reserved for honeymooners and backpackers.

Turtle Hatcheries

There are few sights that manage to compete with the magic of releasing baby turtles in the sea. This natural phenomenon is bound to fascinate your kids, as they get to learn while having fun on the beach. Home to five different species of turtles, Sri Lanka’s Galle District is the main area for turtle hatcheries.

Elephant Spotting

The national park of Minneriya is a hotspot for spotting wild elephant herds. Offering a mixture of wetlands, bush and forests, there are also many other species of animals – such as crocodiles, buffalos and sambar deer – roaming around for the children to spot.

Poolside Fun

Our selection of luxury Sri Lanka villas with pools enable you to get the most out of the great weather on you trip. The kids will be entertained for hours, as they splash about in the pools of our magnificent villas. It may even be a struggle to get them to explore the other activities!

Lion's Rock

Lion’s Rock is a great interactive expedition for children. With the opportunity to go rock climbing and follow mountainous trails, you can ensure your children are staying active and have the chance to create some memorable moments with them.

Sun, Sea and Sand

It would be wrong not to take full advantage of the palm-lined beaches, with their golden sand and crystal-clear waters. After all, the Island is referred to as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean; the shores are what Sri Lanka is renowned for. While getting away from the routine of the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you and the children can kick back, soak up the sun and enjoy each other’s company. Sri Lanka beachfront villas allow easy access to the delights of the seaside, meaning you can stay just a stone’s throw away from the beach and optimise your time.

Full Steam Ahead!

For those who like taking the scenic route, without the strenuous task of climbing up hillsides and hiking through rough terrain, the train journey through Kandy to Nuwara Eliy offers amazing views of the beautiful hillside regions and eucalyptus forests.

These winning combinations of adventure, wildlife and relaxation activities for children in Sri Lanka are a sure-fire way to keep your little ones entertained and to make the most of your trip to Asia.
