“This is a great snorkelling tour! They pick you up from your hotel and have good communication with you via WhatsApp. You get on the boat from the sand out the front of the dive centre and it’s a short boat ride to go snorkelling. We were lucky enough to see 4 turtles and the guides provided seaweed to feed them. We saw lots of fish and coral also. Highly recommend this tour!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 58 reviews · 3 hours · from $50

Review of Pigeon Island snorkeling from Uppuveli Beach, including marine life, costs, timing, guides, park fees, and practical tips.

“Highly recommend this snorkeling tour if you’re visiting Trincomalee! The waters at Pigeon Island were crystal clear, and I swam with turtles, reef sharks, and schools of tropical fish. The team at Trinco Bay Dive Center is super professional and cares about customer safety and marine conservation. Compared to the big crowded tours, this small group trip felt special and personal.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 38 reviews · 3 hours · from $17

Swim with turtles, reef sharks, and colorful fish near Sri Lanka’s Pigeon Island, with boat transport, gear, and water included.

“We arrived to a small hut where the leader of the activity gave us all the equipment and a bottle of water each.

Some corals were alive and vivid. This experience in general is great at offering the equipment (snorkels, masks, fins, the boat ride to the island), but travelling to and from the activity is not offered (which was said in the description). Overall, we were very pleased with the experience and it was definitely worth the…”
