Discover two of southern Sri Lanka’s most fascinating natural attractions on this relaxing and scenic excursion from Tangalle or Dikwella. Begin your journey at the peaceful Mawella Lagoon, a beautiful wetland ecosystem surrounded by mangroves, lily pads, and rich birdlife. The calm waters create an ideal setting for a gentle kayaking experience guided by a local naturalist.
During the quieter hours of the day, the lagoon becomes especially magical as hundreds of bats emerge above the trees while birds return across the wetlands. This peaceful environment offers an excellent opportunity for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and photographers.
The journey continues with a short drive to the famous Hummanaya Blowhole, recognized as the second-highest natural blowhole in the world. Powerful columns of seawater burst dramatically through coastal rock formations, especially during rough sea conditions between July and August.
This excursion combines tranquil lagoon scenery with the raw power of Sri Lanka’s southern coastline, creating a memorable short adventure suitable for all ages.
