KAYAKING

Kayaking is an exhilarating water sport that puts you right in the heart of the action! Glide through the water, feeling the rhythm of each paddle stroke as you navigate your way across rivers, lakes, and even oceans. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced paddler, kayaking offers an unforgettable experience that combines the thrill of adventure with the tranquility of nature.

In kayaking, you control your own vessel, maneuvering through the water with skill and precision. The sleek design of a kayak allows you to glide smoothly over the surface, giving you a unique perspective of your surroundings. From tranquil flatwater to challenging whitewater rapids, there’s a kayaking experience for every skill level and preference.

Paddling a kayak is not just a sport—it’s a journey. Explore hidden coves, navigate winding rivers, and discover remote beaches as you immerse yourself in the beauty of the natural world. Whether you’re seeking an adrenaline rush or a peaceful escape, kayaking offers endless opportunities for adventure and discovery.

Rafting in Sri Lanka

Rafting in Sri Lanka

“Life is like whitewater rafting: Without rocks, there wouldn’t be rapids, and it wouldn’t be as much fun”

– Joss Whedon –

CEYLON EXTREME ADVENTURES

RAFTING ADVENTURES

RAFTING

The first time you go down a rapid in an inflatable raft is one of the most memorable experiences of your life! The sound of churning water, that cold, wet feeling you get as the waves drench you, and the adrenaline rush that keeps you at the edge of your raft seat, ears open for your guide’s commands, paddling with all you got—all this is a recipe for a rollercoaster of emotions that you’ll ride no matter if it’s your hundredth time going down the same river!

Whitewater rafting is the sport of navigating the rapids or whitewater of a fast-flowing river using an inflatable raft. It’s the perfect beginner extreme water sport as it uses a considerably large vessel that is quite comfortable, and it’s a team sport, so you won’t be out there alone. It’s also an amazing bonding activity for a group, be it family, friends, or colleagues. 

So if you love water and wanna test your courage against a river while having a ball of fun, we recommend whitewater rafting. It’ll be your first step on the way to becoming a water warrior!

RAFTING IN SRI LANKA

Although rafting is a seasonal sport in most countries, it’s available in Sri Lanka year-round due to the island’s tropical nature.

There are a few locations available for rafting in Sri Lanka, but Kithulgala remains the best and most popular choice for lots of reasons. Kithulgala was where the story started for many of the guides at Ceylon Extreme Adventures, so they know the river and the rapids there like the back of their hands.

HIKING ADVENTURES

HIKING

What does the word ‘hiking’ mean to you? For most of us, it’s simply walking outdoors.

Here at CEA, we like to think of hiking as sauntering, the way John Muir used to describe it. We hike to relax, to slow down, to ground our energies, and honestly, to forget the rat race. We believe that hiking, above all other activities, gives us a chance to look deep into ourselves.

Technically, a hike is a short walk, usually completed within a day, which doesn’t call for too much effort. Because hiking doesn’t require experience or a high level of fitness, it’s perfect for almost everyone, especially families with kids.

Hiking is also one of the best possible ways to explore a travel destination. Because it’s slow-paced, it will allow you to truly immerse yourself in the local environment and culture.

HIKING IN SRI LANKA

We believe that the most unique quality about Sri Lanka is her diversity.

Don’t take our word for it. You can easily experience it for yourself if you’re willing to put your legs into action.

Ancient tropical rain forests, dry evergreen jungles, arid scrubs, hundreds of rivers and lakes, marshy wetlands, temperate hills, savannahs in the sky, haunting cloud forests and miles of pristine beaches are just a few of her many moods. What’s more, all of this is packed so densely on this small island, that travelling between these completely different terr ains will often take only a few hours.

Seriously, hikers could not ask for a better destination than Sri Lanka. She is a powerful island, ancient and mysterious. She has a lot to teach you, but only if you are willing to walk to her – and there’s no one better than Ceylon Extreme Adventures to guide you to her.

CEYLON EXTREME ADVENTURES

CANYONING ADVENTURES

CANYONING

Canyoning, also known as canyoneering is the best way to get up close and personal and explore a canyon. It’s a popular sport among adrenaline junkies and nature lo vers alike.

Canyoning as a sport is mostly done around the upper parts of a mountain stream before it hits flat terrain. Half the fun of canyoning comes from navigating down fast-flowing water streams using techniques like swimming, sliding, abseiling, and even jumping into rock pools.

As the best canyons are usually hidden deep within jungles, canyoning usually starts off with a nice energetic hike that will warm you up and get you acclimatized to the environment. After reaching the upper parts of the stream, you will follow the flow of water to the endpoint, as it cascades down the mountain.

Canyoning is one of the favourite adventure sports of Ceylon Extreme Adventures, as most of our guides started off their careers as qualified canyoning and whitewater rafting guides in Kithulgala, a little town well known for its rapids and many surrounding canyons.

CANYONING IN SRI LANKA

The tropical island of Sri Lanka has a mountainous heart, out of which flow over a hundred rivers that empty their waters into the Indian Ocean. Over thousands of tributaries feed these rivers, meaning over a thousand canyons to pick from, ranging in navigability from beginner to e xperienced, to ha rdcore! So why canyoning in Sri Lanka? Because it’s a canyoning buffet!

As the only adventure sports company in Sri Lanka that isn’t based around a single location, Ceylon Extreme Adventures is best suited to guide you down a variety of canyons all over the heart of Sri Lanka.

CAMPING & TREKKING

In the heart of exploration, where nature’s call is met with a primal response, camping and trekking converge into an unforgettable adventure with Ceylon Extreme Adventures.

Camping has been humanity’s timeless answer to nature’s beckoning. Under the open sky, away from the comfort of home, a campfire becomes the storyteller, sharing food, memories, and songs. Sleeping under a pitched tent, surrounded by wilderness, offers a unique connection to the ancient rhythms of the earth. There’s unparalleled beauty in waking up on a mountaintop, witnessing a sunrise above the clouds, or beside a hidden lake ready for a morning dip. Nature’s magic reveals itself at dusk and dawn, moments only the camper truly savors.

Now, elevate your journey with trekking

“A trek is a hike taken to the next level. If hiking is leaving behind purpose, then
trekking will help you find purpose. This is the highest distinction between
hiking and trekking.” – Ceylon Extreme Adventures.

A trek with us is a multi-day odyssey, testing your endurance and willpower. While experience and fitness ease the way, every trek is a revelation for first-timers. Trekking unveils nature’s remotest corners, but more profoundly, it reflects the inner landscapes. At the edge of strength, nature strips us bare, revealing our true selves. For those seeking self-discovery, we invite you to trek with us. In the company of like-minded explorers, discover the wilderness, find your purpose, and redefine your limits. The call of nature is answered, and the journey is yours to embrace

CAMPING & TREKKING​ IN SRI LANKA

Venture into the heart of Sri Lanka’s central highlands with Ceylon Extreme Adventures’ treks, concentrated in UNESCO-recognized world heritage sites—the Sabaragamuwa, Central, and Knuckles Mountain massifs. These peaks, ranging from 150m to 2500m, are shrouded in dense forests or grass, offering an ideal terrain for challenging climbs, rock scrambling, and bushwhacking. Experience crazy ascents to isolated mountain summits with breathtaking views. The tropical island’s heavy rainfall adds intrigue and challenge to the treks, creating a unique beauty—cloud forests, mist-covered savannahs. While the dry season guarantees easier treks, the rains unveil a different mountain allure. CEA invites the daring to embark on these extraordinary adventures, guided by seasoned experts.

As for camping, why not immerse yourself in Sri Lanka’s natural beauty during your short stay? Ceylon Extreme Adventures advocates for camping as an integral part of exploring the island. Campfires create memorable connections, and Sri Lanka offers diverse environments for camping—mountains, jungles, forests, grasslands, beaches, riverbanks. The only missing element is you. Experience the freedom of camping with CEA, where every adventure comes with a tent and the promise of unforgettable moments.

Abseiling in Sri Lanka

Abseiling in Sri Lanka

“It’s not the mountain that we conquer, but ourselves”

– Sir Edmund Hillary –

CEYLON EXTREME ADVENTURES

ABSEILING ADVENTURES

ABSEILING

Let’s bring you up to speed if you are new to abseiling. It’s the sport of finding the courage to lower yourself off the edge of a precipice! Well, at least that’s what we think it means fundamentally. 

Technically, it’s the art of controlling your descent down a steep slope using specialized rope and equipment. This allows us to navigate terrain that is otherwise impossible to explore. It’s highly useful in descending canyons and caves. 

It goes without saying that abseiling is one of the most thrilling activities that can be done in Sri Lanka. But that’s not the only reason why everyone should try it at least once. Ceylon Extreme Adventures looks at abseiling as the ultimate trust fall – because that’s what it is, a fall; a controlled fall. Here, you’ll be forced to trust in yourself, your instructor, and the equipment that you use, and take a ‘leap of faith. You’ll be forced to look at your fear as you dangle hundreds of feet above it, and each step that you take as you climb down the mountain will reinforce your willpower to overcome your fear.

And CEA makes no compromises on the instructors and gear that we use – we do everything in our power to guarantee your safety. Now all you have to do is trust in yourself!

For the hardcore adventurers out there, Ceylon Extreme Adventures is all you need to make your Sri Lanka trip extraordinary. We are pioneers when it comes to extreme abseils in unique locations. As of yet, we are proud to be the only Sri Lankan service provider to offer a 500ft Rock abseil and a 400 ft waterfall abseil! And we have a lot more unique locations on our recce list. 

Green, is the best word to describe abseiling in the tropics. Our abseiling locations are way out in the wilderness, and as you descend, you will mostly see green mountains, jungles, and plains all the way to the horizon. Waterfall abseiling is another feature especially enjoyable in the tropics. As tropical mountains are riddled with cascades, they offer us a unique way to amp up the abseiling activity and also get wet while doing it. And last but not least, getting to these stunning locations always includes a spectacular hike or trek, which makes it all the more worthwhile.
