I advise you to see the region of Unawatuna and Hikkaduwa. The main value of Hikkaduwa is the lagoon: a stretch of sea about a kilometer and a width of two hundred meters, partially separated from the rest of the ocean rocks and coral reefs. In the lagoon There is much less excitement, and therefore you can swim. So this lagoon is located near CHAYAA TRANZ HOTEL 4 *. And several giant turtles come to the shore of CHAYAA TRANZ HOTEL 4 *, which you can feed yourself with kelp and swim with t ... Farther...
We are traveling with a 10-year-old child on an autumn vacation in tangerine beach. After reading all the reviews, I began to think: is it worth it to go at all? Terribly afraid of crawling reptiles. People write about how snakes lie curled up in the grass. Someone tell me this is not true. What are the dangerous creatures in the ocean? I would be grateful for an answer

On the territory of hotels and towns, except for monkeys and geckos (small lizards, absolutely harmless), no one was seen. Sometimes monitor lizards ran through, but they themselves do not approach people and it is not necessary to climb to them. We saw snakes only when we went to the jungle on excursions, there are quite a lot of them, it’s better not to go there without a guide. In the ocean, we saw only beautiful fish on the reefs in Trincomal, well, turtles sometimes swam up to the beach. Ju ... Farther...
Good afternoon! Help, pzhl, with the choice of a holiday destination in Sri Lanka. The star rating of the hotel is irrelevant. The main thing: the ability to swim in a calm ocean, good views, the ability to get to the sights on foot, on a scooter, by train. We plan to leave within 5 days.

And most of all in Hikkaduwa we liked the beach opposite the Coral sand hotel. This is if you stand facing the ocean, to the right of the lagoon, where the turtles are, behind the boats. It is cleaner, more space and millions of fish. Especially beautiful early in the morning. And we also really liked Mirissa. There, go to the beach, over the mountain, to the stone embankment. The beauty is also incredible. It’s very easy to get there. Get on the bus to Matara and say Mirissa beach. If the chi ... Farther...

As a person who has the same priorities in relaxation (a reef near the hotel), as you hoped for a free admiration for the beauties of the Indian Ocean reefs, as you used to in Egypt, but .... The main myth: in Lanka, you can freely admire the reefs off the coast. This is not true. In Sri Lanka, if the reefs are located near hotels (Hikkaduwa for example), then it is not safe to admire them, to put it mildly. The open ocean, strong underwater and surface waves not only throw them at the ston ... Farther...
