Sri Lanka is a land of undaunted coastal beauty, pristine beaches, vast wildlife, and a paradise to witness the picturesque sunset which makes this island the ‘pearl of Indian Ocean’. Hikkaduwa, Unawatuna, Trincomalee, Mirissa, Pasikudah, and Kirinda are most famous snorkeling places in Sri Lanka. Underwater experiences such as snorkeling enveloped by crispy blue waters and an abundance of marine life awaits at a number of interesting and worthy locations in coastal parts of the country. The best time to visit Hikkaduwa is between November and April when the seas are calm making it ideal for some great underwater photography.
