Out where the seabirds roam
Head out into open water, where the seas off Kalpitiya draw shearwaters, noddies and other ocean wanderers rarely seen from land. Join a boat trip for a seabird watcher's adventure on one of Sri Lanka's finest pelagic birding coasts.
Head out to sea and spot seabirds that rarely come close to land, enjoying the thrill of watching them in their natural home and the quiet of the sea.
Kalpitiya is regarded as one of the best places in Sri Lanka for seabirds, making it a rewarding destination for anyone hoping to see species seldom found elsewhere.
Shearwaters, noddies, terns and skuas are among the seabirds you may see, each offering a different glimpse of life over the open water and a reason to keep watching.
Our guides will help you find and identify birds, even if you are new to birding, sharing what to look for so every sighting feels easy and rewarding.
From May to October, seabirds visit Kalpitiya during the southwest monsoon. Early mornings can bring rewarding views of passing flocks.
Bridled Tern passage builds from July, with the heaviest movement often in August and September mornings. Shearwaters may also appear.
