where better to go in the summer to Hikkaduwa or Chang?
where is it better to go in the summer with a child (8 years old) to Hikkaduwa or Chang? where the sea is calmer and the weather is more comfortable? Also, what is the price for locals in Hikkaduwa, per person, excursions, for example, Kandy - Sigiriya or Nuvora Eliya, Yalla, etc.? And are they worth buying? Thanks!

For such excursions, you need to rent a driver with a car from the locals. I don't know what's on the island, but in Hikkaduwa there are big turtles and colored fish if you snorkel.

As I understand it, O.Chang, do you mean Thailand? My answer is definitely Sri Lanka and Hikaduwa is a great place. There really are huge turtles coming to the shore in a certain place. it was very boring, counted the seconds to leave. You need to take excursions only from professional guides, you don’t take risks with your child. , I recommend - all very interesting.

if you go to Hikkaudwa, contact Saman, he is on the beach. We went with him to the indescribable beauty lagoon, read my review of Sri Lanka. the cost is only 20 dollars per person. Other tourists went to Kandy with him, the cost was $ 70. This excursion is for the whole day. As for Sigiriya, Dambula, usually for a couple of days. You can go to the town of Galle on your own, there is a fort, a lighthouse, beaches, a town in the English colonial style-30 rupees by local bus, 40 minutes and you are there. The tour will be more expensive. If you need coordinates, write in a personal. A child-mask, flippers and watch the fish, you can feed them). Turtles every morning and evening in the lagoon near the China Trans hotel.

Hello! If you meant Thailand, then I have not been there and I have nothing to compare with. And no one goes to Sri Lanka in the summer. There is also a rainy season that lasts from late April to September. I read this on the Internet and on They say this to the tour company without hiding it. I read reviews about Galle, it seems that there are no waves there like in Wadduwa. In Wadduwa they are always there! Moreover, not small. But in general, the ocean is something !!!! !!!!Super!

Good afternoon! I was in Koh Chang and Hikkaduwa, both there and there 2 times. With child! He was a year and 5 months old in Koh Chang, 6 months in Sri Lanka. I won’t advise you about the season, but I liked the climate in Sri Lanka more than in Koh Chang. On Koh Chang in December January February is normal, but the beginning of March is already very wet. In Hikkaduwa, both in November and in March, it rains, but you don’t notice them at all, the temperature of the air and water does not change, and why the totality is not felt. Well, it's very, very comfortable. And at night, without air conditioning, a child can swim in the evening at 8 and it’s not cold to climb out of the water, you don’t even throw a towel on! There are a lot of elephants on Koh Chang, in Hikkaduwa you have to go far to get them ... I took a child on a safari there, I highly recommend it! You'll love it here and there! We endure the road very easily, in both cases it takes almost a day

Tour prices. Do not take excursions after seeing the hotel, it's complete rubbish. A safari from Hikkaduwa cost us $ 100 for two and there were only the two of us in the car, I found a local agency across the road from the hotel, I am very satisfied. And we went to Kandy with a group, the same 100 approximately, terrible horror, until you wait for everyone ... Who goes to the toilet, who buys tea ... And yes! Be sure to take pills for motion sickness with you, there is a nasty serpentine in Kandy.

And if candy from cigarettes may make sense in such a way to make a route so as not to return to Hikkaduwa, but immediately to the airport. The road is tiring enough. It takes about 4 hours one way to get to Kandy, we had early rises. We were picked up on a safari from Hikkaduwa around 3 am. And the hotel arrived at 9-10 pm. But my son and I love it. And dad works a lot and prefers Turkey;)
