Marine Excursions
When it comes to excursions in Hikkaduwa, many of the most thrilling adventures take place on the ocean rather than on land. Traditionally, the most exhilarating experiences are reserved for divers, including descents to the Coral Garden and exploration of the shipwrecks off the Hikkaduwa coast.
However, you can have an equally fantastic time without going underwater. A glass-bottom boat tour of the Coral Garden in Hikkaduwa promises a captivating experience. It's worth noting that this is just one of the boat tours available in the resort. Boat rides along the coastline are quite popular among tourists, and some guides even offer scenic boat trips along the island's rivers, such as the Mangrove Boat Tour-Day Tours.
Tuk-Tuk Tours
Bus tours are not the norm in Hikkaduwa; instead, you'll find tuk-tuks, small vehicles driven by rickshaw drivers, providing an entertaining and friendly way to explore. Two popular tuk-tuk tour providers in Hikkaduwa are Ajith Tuk Tuk and Asanka Tuk Tuk.
Another highly recommended excursion is a visit to the Turtle Hatchery turtle farm. The cost for such an excursion in Hikkaduwa typically ranges from 400 to 500 LKR.
