Review of Pigeon Island snorkeling from Uppuveli Beach, with turtles, reef sharks, coral, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“This was the highlight of my Sri Lanka trip! The snorkeling was incredible—clear waters, healthy corals, and close encounters with turtles and reef sharks. The guide stayed close and made it easy for first-timers. I’ve been on other snorkeling tours, but this one was by far the most organized, safe, and exciting. You can really tell Trinco Bay Dive Center is a PADI 5-Star Dive Resort—they go above and beyond!”
