One of the top things to do in Hikkaduwa Beach is snorkeling. All you need to do is rent some snorkeling gear, hire a boat to take you over to the coral reef and once you reach your destination, dive in and enjoy the views of the underwater world.
If snorkeling is not your thing or your kids are young, then a ride on a glass-bottom boat is the perfect way to explore the sea life from above.
There are a number of large lakes and rivers close to town to explore, and a river safari is a great way to explore the backwaters and is one of the best things to do around Hikkaduwa.
Water sports in Hikkaduwa are one of the most popular things to do and the area is quite famous for surfing among adventure enthusiasts. The clean waves and consistent swell allow people to indulge in this exhilarating activity.
Surfboards are available for hire on the beach. It is a good place to learn to surf as the waves are suited for beginners.
If you want to spend some spiritual time in Hikkaduwa then visit Sri Pushparama Temple or one of the other nearby temples
Watching baby turtles be released into the ocean is another great experience
