Activities in Trincomalee
Bikes to rent at the hotel, and scuba diving, snorkelling, whale watching and jet ski with our partner dive centre in Trincomalee. Tell us what you'd like to do and we'll book it.
Bike rental
Rent a bike right here at the hotel. Dutch Bay and Fort Frederick are a short, flat ride north, and the road through the fort ends at Koneswaram Temple on Swami Rock. Tell us the day you'd like a bike and we'll have it ready.
Scuba diving
We book your dives with our partner dive centre in Trincomalee. Diving on the east coast is best when the sea is calm, roughly April to September. Tell us your dates and whether you're new to diving or already certified, and we'll arrange the rest.
Snorkelling
Pigeon Island National Park, off Nilaveli, is the best-known snorkelling reef on the east coast. We arrange the boat trip with our partner dive centre. There is a park entry fee. Please use reef-safe sun protection and don't stand on the coral.
Whale and dolphin watching
Whale and dolphin watching trips leave Trincomalee in the calm season, roughly March to August. We book them with our partner dive centre and tell you the departure time. Sightings are never guaranteed; the sea and the animals decide.
Jet ski
Jet ski rides are run by our partner dive centre on days when the sea is calm. Message us and we'll check what's possible on your dates.
Other boat trips and water activities: ask us and we'll tell you what's running.
