North Coast (May to October): The Palk Bay, located west of Jaffna, is a hidden gem for sailors. This tranquil stretch of water is dotted with uninhabited islands, providing a serene escape into a more historic and untouched part of Sri Lanka. Longer sailing trips here offer the chance to explore remote islands on the northern edge of the country.
East Coast (May to October): The east coast features pristine, golden beaches and offers some of Sri Lanka’s most scenic and quiet spots. Trincomalee’s ancient harbour, Nilaveli’s crystal-clear waters and vibrant reefs, and peaceful heritage sites are perfect for those seeking natural beauty and quiet exploration. Further south, Arugam Bay is a renowned surfing hotspot, while the region’s lagoons and inlets provide a relaxing and picturesque water experience.
Galle Coast and South Coast (October to April): This time of year is ideal for whale and dolphin watching around the lively town of Mirissa. The south coast is known for its stunning coastline and abundant marine life, offering opportunities for both relaxation and adventure on the water.
West Coast (October to April): The west coast offers fantastic sailing opportunities, particularly in Beruwela and Bentota, where the Bentota River meets the Indian Ocean, providing a unique boating experience. Bentota is also home to a popular watersports center. For those seeking a more private and tranquil cruising experience, Kalpitiya lagoon on the northwest coast offers an exclusive and serene setting.

Established in 1949, the SOS Children Village Foundation stands as the world’s largest non-profit organization committed to nurturing orphaned, abandoned, and vulnerable children. Their multifaceted approach, spanning family support, medical care, education, and emergency assistance, positively impacts the lives of countless children and families.
Our commitment:
Ceylon Roots is devoted to bolstering this cause by sponsoring the education and well-being of 10 children each month. Our aspiration is to progressively increase the number of sponsored children while also offering valuable exposure to those youngsters aspiring to pursue a career in the hospitality industry.
Embracing our rich cultural heritage and the profound influence of Buddhism on Sri Lanka’s cultural fabric, Ceylon Roots proudly presents the ‘Buddhist Roots’ project.
The island’s connection to the teachings of The Buddha has shaped it’s identity and inspired the creation of temples and statues that embody our faith. However, the passage of time has left some of these rural temples in neglected states, depriving them of the rightful care they merit.
Our commitment:
With unwavering dedication, we have undertaken a vital commitment to revive and sustain temples island-wide. Through providing essential support for upkeep, nourishment, and sustainable living conditions, the aim of the Buddhist Roots project is to help ensure the lasting prosperity of these sacred sites.
By joining hands with us, you are not only contributing to their well-being, but also getting the chance to explore these sites and personally experience the rich authenticity of Sri Lankan Buddhism.
In a dynamic effort to combat deforestation and bolster environmental conservation, we proudly present to you, the ‘Brown Roots’ Project, launched on World Environment Day, June 5th, 2017, undertaken in collaboration with Browns Tours. Working closely with relevant authorities and organizations, including Sri Lanka Forest Reserves, we stand united in preserving and enriching the beauty of our island home for generations to come.
Our commitment:
As part of our unwavering dedication, we have pledged to plant a tree for every traveler who embarks on a journey with us, and since its inception, the ‘Brown Roots’ project has already seen the planting of over 3000 trees in the central province of Sri Lanka by the end of 2018.
Our resolve remains resolute, and with your invaluable support, we endeavour to further elevate this number in the years ahead. Join us in nurturing the very roots of nature’s grandeur.
