Description

Pasikuda Boat Tour: Snorkel & Swim on a Shared Cruise

East Coast Serenity: 3-HOUR CRUISE (SHARED)

Sail Pasikuda Bay on this 3-hour shared boat tour, running mornings (9:00 AM–12:00 PM) or afternoons (3:00–6:00 PM) from May to October. Departing the public beach at Pasikuda, the boat anchors mid-bay for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and—when the water's clear—snorkeling over the area's coral. It's a good-value way to get out on the water alongside other travellers, families, and groups.

Shared vs. private—which cruise is right for you?

If you'd rather have the boat to yourselves, our private Pasikuda charter covers the same bay with exclusive use for your group. This shared cruise is booked per person alongside other guests, at a lower cost.

What's included

  • Route & duration: 3 hours, departing the public beach at Pasikuda Bay; choose a morning (9 AM–12 PM) or afternoon (3–6 PM) slot.
  • Onboard: welcome drinks, snacks and canapés, refreshments, a swimming stop, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling (weather-dependent), and fishing gear on request.

The extensive east coastline offers vast, unexplored golden beaches, a perfectly laid-back setting for travelers looking to step off the beaten path. You will discover the seaside port of Trincomalee, with its magnificent harbor; the coastal resort of Nilaveli with its calm and clear blue water; and the popular resort bay of Pasikuda, with splendid coral reefs underneath the tranquil sea, which is ideal for snorkeling and swimming. The coastline is dotted with lesser-known heritage sites and places of spiritual significance. The lagoons and inlets of the East, with their water bird life and mangroves, provide a different type of water experience. Furthermore, to the south lies the internationally famous surfing hotspot of Arugam Bay.
