6-Day Kalpitiya Lagoon & Dolphin Holiday
This 6-day Kalpitiya holiday takes you to a quiet peninsula on Sri Lanka’s north-west coast, between the Puttalam lagoon and the sea. From about November to April, large pods of spinner dolphins are often seen offshore, and the flat-water lagoon is one of the island’s best places to learn kitesurfing.
JK Travels Sri Lanka arranges the private transfers and day trips, including an optional safari in Wilpattu National Park. Boat trips and kitesurfing lessons are booked locally and paid separately.
