Activity Overview
Take on the river in a completely different way with River Boarding in Sri Lanka —
an exhilarating white-water adventure where you use a high-floatation river board
and swim with fins through the rapids. Get close to the water, ride the waves and
experience the excitement of moving through the river at water level.
Your River Boarding Adventure
After arriving at the activity centre, meet your professional river guides for a short
briefing before getting equipped with your safety gear. You’ll then be transferred to
the starting point, where the team will teach you how to control your board, move
through the water and respond safely in the river.
Once you’re ready, the adventure begins! Start with easier rapids before progressing
through 7 exciting rapids, including two surprise sections. Along the route, enjoy
waves, flowing water and natural river scenery, with trained guides supervising you
throughout.
