Apart from being a haven for kite surfers; Kalpitiya is also a popular place for snorkeling, diving, and dolphin-watching excursions. It is made up of 14 islands; home to local fishing communities as the waters around Kalpitiya are thriving with marine life.

November to March is the season for dolphin watching excursions, as this is when the seas are calm. During this period, hundreds of dolphins and in some instances thousands can be observed in large pods just ½ hour on shore.
Anawilundawa is a RAMSAR site and bird sanctuary located one hour from Alankuda. It consists of seven connected man-made tanks constructed in the 12th century AD and is located on the western migratory bird route.
This two hour adventure gives you an amazing opportunity to get a clear view of the sea life that inhabit the shallow waters just off Talawila. Feast your eyes on colorful corals.
The Anawilundawa Bird Sanctuary is situated in the Puttalam district in the North Western province of the country; between Chilaw and Puttlam – to be more specific - it is situated between the coast and the Chilaw-Puttlam railway line.
The uniqueness of Anawilundawa is its immediate proximity to three vastly different ecosystems; the coast, the mangroves and the fresh water tanks making it one of the six RAMSAR Wetlands in Sri Lanka. This unique ecological setting has made it a favorable nesting and breeding ground for hundreds of species of birds.
The horses we have are all Marwari, Sindhi and part breeds (mix of thoroughbred and Marwari/indigenous breeds) all of them have curly ears- which the indigenous horses of India (Marwari, Sindhi, Kathiawar, Spiti) horses are famous for!

Kalpitiya is perfect for dolphin and whale watching, as you do not have to head out too deep into the Ocean: the continental shelf is much closer than reported in admiralty charts, so much so, the shelf actually runs near and alongside the shoreline. This translates into being able to see many species of marine life - in just a short boat ride away from the shore.
You will be led by trained English-speaking guides, who will brief you on everything you wish to know about the dolphins/whales you encounter. Watching dolphins leap, swimming alongside you and under your boat - is truly an unforgettable experience. The sea will not be as rough during this period as it is during the monsoon season and it will be easier to spot dolphins given good visibility.
