OVERVIEW - SRI LANKA SURFING AND MOUNTAIN BIKING TOUR
We're proud to announce that National Geographic Adventure Magazine has named this trip the Best New Trip of 2010
Sri Lanka (whose former name is Serendib, the root of the word “serendipity”) is a world unto itself, a stunning island of diversity and variety, a place of serendipitous discoveries. As tourism just starts to rebuild in this exotic island nation, we are one of few international tour operators to bring guests to Sri Lanka. We believe this is the perfect place to learn to surf or improve on your mountain biking skills while enjoying the beautiful sandy beaches, leafy tea estates in the cool hill country, and warm, kind-hearted people. Sri Lanka has endured more than its share of tragedies in the past decades, the most notable in the South being the devastating Tsunami of 2004. On this trip we’ll spend a day volunteering with a local school or orphanage. This is our opportunity to give a bit of ourselves to this country that is sharing so much with us, a serendipitous connection we will always remember.
INSTRUCTION
During the course of this trip you'll have the chance to develop your skills in surfing and mountain biking. If you're new to these sports our experienced instructor will teach you the basics of each and will provide you with the foundation you need to try them on your own upon returning home. If you've already tried these sports our instructor will provide you with tips and advice so you can take your performance to the next level.
