- Arugam Bay - Arugam Bay is situated on the Indian Ocean in the dry zone of Sri Lanka’s southeast coast, and a historic settlement of the ancient Batticaloa Territory. The bay is located 117 kilometres south of Batticaloa, 320 kilometres due east of Colombo, and approximately 4 kilometres south of the market town of Pottuvil. The main settlement in the area, known locally as Ullae, is predominantly Muslim, however there is a significant Sri Lankan Tamil and Sinhala population to the south of the village, as well as a number of international expatriates, largely from Europe and Australia. While traditionally fishing has dominated the local economy, tourism has grown rapidly in the area in recent years. Arugam Kudah’s literal Tamil translation is “Bay of Cynodon dactylon”. Tourism in Arugam Bay is dominated by surf tourism, thanks to several quality breaks in the area, however tourists are also attracted by the local beaches, lagoons, historic temples and the nearby Kumana National Park.

A great safari - We took an amazing safari with very friendly and professional crew- everything started with great contact and setup with Dhanushka, who was just lovely, and a pickup from Arugam Bay by Priyantha who drove us around the park in his tough jeep. We’ve seen it all- birds, water buffalos, elephants, even a leopard! We highly recommend this trip to anyone 👌🏻

Strongly recommended Kumana National Park tour. AAA+++ - I strongly recommend this Kumana National Park Safari while in Arugam Bay! Half day spent watching nature (we were lucky to spot a leopard) in the park is definitely worth going for.
Very good contact with the tour operator, pickup on time and very polite and nice driver.

Kumana national park safari - The best Kumana park for safari experience.. The jeep had come to pick up from the hotel and the journey there was very interesting. The driver is a friendly gentleman. His communication was excellent. He shared his knowledge about animals with us. The drinks he had brought made us feel refresh in the park.. Thank you TravCylon for organizing everything well.

The driver saw more animals - It was a beautiful experience to see the leopards in Sri Lanka.. Even though the weather was quite hot, the jeep was well exposed so it was very comfortable. We were able to have a good look around.. Apart from leopards, we were able to see deer, elephants, pigs and various birds. The driver did not miss the animals and did not forget to show us and tell us information about the animals.. It was a very happy tour.
