Kids Crafts and Adventure

Unleash your creative soul

Southern Sri Lanka is famous for arts and crafts, and our adventure centre offers a world of option for active families. Island Colours replicates our famous “batik” craft by painting colourfully on fabric to make home-made shawls, sarongs etc. (great gift for parents!).
Mask painting is another option, Sri Lankan masks are fascinating and a key part of our culture. Cape Weligama offers customised less scary masks for kids to paint on for their own cultural souvenir.

The Borderlands Adventure Centre offers a host of activities and the following make for great family bonding, as they can all be executed in a group: Cycling, Stand Up Paddling, Kayaking, “Ocean Safari” – whale watching, Diving – Pool dive, “bubble maker” shallow shore dive.
