Travel to Unawatuna for beach time and an optional nearby visit. Discuss snorkelling or a boat activity only where appropriate suppliers and conditions are available.

Choosing your coast stay

Is this the right tour for you?

Use this as a coastal holiday or an extension after the hills. Discuss the travel month, swimming preferences and the amount of moving between hotels you want.

A question before you book

Is this five days or five nights?

This draft uses six calendar days and five nights. The original poster lists five activity days but calls the package five nights; the final duration needs owner approval.
