Swimming with Turtles
Swim or snorkel in Hikkaduwa’s coastal shallows where green turtles graze near the reef. Best light is early morning for calm water and clearer visibility. Typical crowds build mid-day; for quiet, go on weekdays. No special permits are usually needed for casual snorkeling, but local operators manage rules—follow keep-distance guidance and avoid touching wildlife.
