About Arugam Bay Safari
Arugam Bay Safari is a local tour operator specialising in the water-based wildlife and adventure side of Arugam Bay, beyond the surf. From crystal-clear snorkelling spots to scenic boat rides and hidden lagoon exploration, it gives visitors a way to experience the bay's marine life and natural surroundings on Sri Lanka's wild east coast.
The operator runs snorkelling trips to clear-water reefs and rocky points, guided diving adventures, and boat-based lagoon safaris through the protected waterways around Pottuvil and Arugam Bay. These slow-boat lagoon tours drift past mangroves rich in birdlife, monitor lizards, crocodiles, and other wildlife, while coastal boat rides reach quieter snorkel sites and viewpoints. Trips are arranged for individuals, couples, and families at accessible prices.
Arugam Bay Safari stands out by focusing on nature and marine experiences in a destination dominated by surfing, offering travellers a well-rounded itinerary. The team's local knowledge of the lagoons, tides, and best snorkelling conditions means small groups get an authentic, low-impact look at the area's ecosystems. For snorkelling, diving, and lagoon wildlife safaris in Arugam Bay, it is a go-to choice.
