Whitewater Rafting

” There is something about a swift river, something thrilling about a river of any kind. The nearest upstream bend is a gate out of mystery, and the nearest downstream bend a door to further mystery”

Wallace Stegner

There can be no other type of trip that can offer at one moment a feeling of peace and calm as you drift through a secluded area borne along by nature, the next, excitement and action as you navigate through powerful rapids, experiencing one of the elemental forces of nature firsthand.

Sri Lanka has four main rivers and countless tributaries suitable for rafting and kayaking. Three of the biggest rivers are born in the heart of the peak wilderness which also gives rise to three of the highest mountains. We use 9 man Avon rafts with experienced river guides to paddle the main white water sections of these rivers. The smaller more technical southern rivers suit the adventurous kayaker, looking for many day trips with lots of action and play waves.
