From its paradise beach breaks to mellow reef breaks, Sri Lanka is a family surfing mecca. Play in the white water and get to grips with the basics on sandy beaches, or ride the peeling waves of the many reef breaks. Warm water and accessible waves entice all ages and abilities to enjoy the ocean, and it’s the ideal destination to take your surfing to the next level if it’s your first experience of surfing reef breaks. When you book a holiday with Family Surf Co. we’ll send you a personalised family surfing guide to Sri Lanka.

Once you’ve shaken the sand from between your toes, culturally Sri Lanka’s got the edge, too. From temples and tea factories to snake farms and safaris, there is something to entice every family member to get under the skin of tropical island life. Snorkel with turtles, spot spinner dolphins and blue whales, encounter elephants, monkeys and snakes, climb ancient rocks and visit tea plantations. When you book your family surf holiday we’ll give you a guide to our favourite things to do with the kids in Sri Lanka.
