River Safari
Jetwing Surf
The east coast of Sri Lanka is a region where tourism booms during May – September when the waves crashing along the coastal towns of Arugambay and Pottuvil are eagerly sought after by surfers across the globe. To counter the widespread misconception of monsoon weather curbing visitation during November to April, Jetwing Chairman Hiran Cooray and Jetwing Symphony Director Len Porter are ready to show guests a unique perspective of a land that has so much to discover. Named ‘Beyond Surfing in the East’, it is a three-day guided tour with Cooray and Porter from 21 – 23 of February. 
“Many people think that the east coast is a seasonal destination; however, from my experience the beauty of the east is year-round. Along with Len, I’m excited to introduce my Sri Lankan friends to this part of our island, its beautiful wildlife and cultural monuments,” said Cooray.
The tour will consist of visits to ancient ruins, national parks and river safaris, along with accommodation and meals at Jetwing Surf, and transport from Colombo for the price of Rs. 42,390 per person on double-sharing basis. Jetwing Surf is a divine eco luxury resort in Pottuvil, with cabanas fitted with plush king-sized beds along with indoor and outdoor showers, to an infinity pool by the sea replete with a pool bar under swaying palm trees.
A trailblazer in the Sri Lankan tourism industry, Hiran Cooray has visited nearly 100 countries and been an avid nature lover since childhood. It was his passion to showcase Sri Lanka’s best that saw its hospitality expand to destinations such as Pottuvil.
Len Porter is responsible for introducing the wonders of the east coast to Hiran and the Jetwing Family. Though born and bred in the UK, Len has a deep bond with Sri Lanka, and his passion for the region resulted in the many excursions founded by him in and around Pottuvil.
From archaeological sites forgotten in dense jungles and rolling plains where elephants and people share a common existence, to immaculate beaches that span for miles, the east coast is a wanderer’s dream destination.
