About Kalpitiya +
- Dolphin and whale watching — boats head out from Kalpitiya most mornings, with regular sightings of spinner dolphins and, seasonally, blue whales.
- Wilpattu National Park — Sri Lanka's largest national park, known for leopards and its scattering of natural lakes, a short drive from Kalpitiya.
- Scuba diving and snorkelling — reefs nearby suit both first-timers and qualified divers.
- Catamaran sailing and fishing — low-key ways to enjoy the lagoon without a kite.
- Cultural touring further afield — the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, and the ancient cities of Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa are all realistic add-ons either side of your kite time.
Sigiriya
About Sigiriya +
Sigiriya Rock, part of Sri Lanka's famed Cultural Triangle, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its historical, archaeological, and architectural significance. Often referred to as the "Lion Rock," Sigiriya is an ancient rock fortress that rises nearly 200 meters above the surrounding plains. It was built in the 5th century AD by King Kashyapa, who transformed it into a royal palace, citadel, and garden complex.
The site features a series of terraced gardens, water gardens, and boulder gardens, considered masterpieces of ancient landscape design. Midway up the rock, the Mirror Wall, once polished to reflect the king’s image, is adorned with ancient graffiti and poems left by visitors from centuries past. Nearby, the Sigiriya frescoes depict celestial maidens, or "Apsaras," painted with vibrant pigments that have endured for millennia.
At the summit of the rock, the ruins of the king’s palace offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Sigiriya is often viewed as the pinnacle of Sri Lankan engineering, blending art, urban planning, and natural beauty.
The broader Cultural Triangle includes nearby ancient cities like Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, as well as the Dambulla Cave Temples. Together, these sites offer a glimpse into Sri Lanka's rich history, culture, and Buddhist heritage. Sigiriya stands out as an iconic landmark, combining natural grandeur with human ingenuity.
Kandy
After breakfast you will head to Kandy via 1st century Dambulla rock temples. It's hard to know what to admire most, the complex of five painted caves, the giant rock Buddha that stands at the entrance, or the lines of devotees who come to place offerings in a haze of incense.
In the afternoon you'll continue to Matale where you'll visit a spice garden where you'll learn more about Sri Lanka's famed spice industry. From there you'll head to Kandy, Sri Lanka's cultural capital. Staying at the Kandy House Hotel for a 3 night stay. From this spot you can head to Pinnawala Elephant orphanage (1.5hrs), Tea Plantations and Nuwara Eliya (3hrs). Heading to Colombo for your flight to Maldives at the end of this stay.

About Maldives +
Although world-renowned as a luxurious honeymoon and diving destination, the Maldives remains relatively undiscovered when it comes to kitesurfing. Although there are over 160 resorts and a multitude of exquisite islands, there are just a few islands that have unobstructed lagoons facing the prevailing wind direction, backed up by professional kitesurf schools. That is why we, at Planet Kitesurf Holidays, have personally visited and inspected the resorts we offer and hand-picked only the best islands to provide you with a kitesurfing holiday like no other.
Although the Maldives is not a high wind destination, from the months of May to October, these islands can make for a stunning kitesurf holiday for couples and families. The Maldives is home to some of the most beautiful small islands on Earth, providing safe havens with no distractions, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy your time off, surrounded by turquoise lagoons and warm crystal clear waters. Our hand-picked island resorts offer world class facilities for both couples and families, with some of the best value Maldives holidays prices during the 'low season' windy period.
