    (Translated by Google) It is a sports center located at the mouth of the Bentota River, where you can enjoy various water sports such as jet ski, banana boat, and snorkeling. In particular, a boat cruise on the Bentota River is best suited for enjoying the nature of Sri Lanka, with spectacular sunset views, mangrove forests, fish turtle and crocodile farms. You can see the animals and plants that depend on the river and the life of Sri Lankan people. (Original) 벤토타강의 하구에 위치하는 스포츠센터로 제트스키, 바나나보트, 스노클링 등 다양한 수상스포츠를 즐길수 있는 곳이다. 특히 벤토타강의 보트 크루즈는 스리랑카의 자연을 즐기는데 가장 적합하며, 뛰어난 일몰의 경치, 맹그로브숲, 물고기 거북이 악어 양식장 등을 둘러 볼 수 있습니다. 강을 의지하여 살아가는 동식물과 스리랑카 사람들의 생활모습을 가감없이 볼 수 있습니다.

    Had a Great fun at this place. They have multiple rides to offer. But before you even start the Guide will explain you about all the rides. We were in a group and had booked for only 3 rides (Jek Ski, Sofa Ride and Banana Ride). No ride is allowed without any Life Jacket. They do have life jackets for kids also. But they have other rides to which one can Enjoy like, Scuba Diving, Pictures with Baby Crocodiles, Motor boat rides and others. Note:- By the Guide himself - Do not carry any valuables like Phone, Wallet/Purse, Watches while taking the ride. They will get wet and can fall into the water. As per guide He can save you any time but can't save your valuables.

    It’s very cool experience with this professional staff . They take us boat trip around Bentota River, discovering the river, mangrove and some animals. Weather was very nice, trip takes 3 hours, rich of the information about the life in the river.

    Worst ever place to do watersport. Human safety is of no importance to this water sport Company !!! and top of it when complained about the same to the owner Thusal he is rude enough to say that do what ever you can it doesnt bother him . Any water sport company should have enough safety measures in place. Here the boat driver is least bothered to save your life if you fall in water on top of it they will blame it on you that you must not have fallen .....what the heck ....Srilankan tourism authority must close down such tourist places as they bring total shame to the beautiful country SriLanka.

    (Translated by Google) Only two tanks and a destroyer Prices of narrators and liars and haram And they will gather on you many The workers of each one Yiji Ybga plays on you at a price from him and Neta is basically a motive and a consensus! Take the Jetty Ski 5000 Rmb 15 minutes The first thing, and we hit and walked, hit the tanks and destroyed the machine. We returned and took the second one after 20 minutes after one was playing And took him and entered the inside and concluded gasoline and battery What worked and God Almighty Tbhlna and our Sunna and Jana in the center of the sun said Tar delayed and take you Ziad !! My experience in people is overwhelming (Original) دبابين فقط ومتهالكه اسعار ناارر وكذابين وحراميه اخلاق صفر ويتجمعون عليك كثير ⬇️هنا الي بيقرا ويشوف بلاويهم عمال كل واحد يجي يبغا يلعب عليك بسعر من عنده ونتا اساسا دافع ومتفق! خذينا جيتي سكي 5000 روبيه 15 دقيقه اول ما وكبتاه ومشينا ضرب الدباب وخرب المكينه رجعنا وخذيتا الثاني بعد 20 دقيقه بعد واحد كان يلعب به وخذيناه ودخلنا داخل وخلص البنزين والبطاريه ما اشتغلت والله العظيم تبههذلنا وصقعتنا الشموس وجانا بوسط الشمس قال ترا تأخرت وباخذ عليك زياده!! 😃ياخي في ناس وقاحه شء عجيب ❌اسوء تجربه

    (Translated by Google) Honestly, a beautiful place in many marine activities, but in a large exploitation for tourists, their prices are very expensive. No matter how much you try to break, they will not come down, nor real, so it is better to pay and enjoy >> I only spoke to you when I was bored >> But their treatment is very nice and cooperative, and most importantly, they do not ask for tips like the rest. Kandy in which the tip is often requested. I will download pictures of some activities that we enjoyed. (Original) مكان جميل بصراحه في كثير من الانشطه البحريه بس في استغلااااااااااال كبير للسياح اسعارهم جدا غاليه ومهما حاولت تكاسر ماراح ينزلو ولا ريال فالأفضل ادفع واستمتع >> محدثتكم وحده كاسرت لمى زهقت ✌🏻😹>> بس تعاملهم جدا جميل ومتعاونين والاهم من كذا مايطلبون بقشيش مثل البقيه كاندي يكثر فيها طلب البقشيش راح انزل صور من بعض الانشطه الي استمتعنا فيها

    We only went for 2 activities, water scooter and river safari. Staff was very polite and they helped us explore all the aspects of river safari. They helped us in spotting crocodiles in the river and took us inside the mangrove forests as well. It was not expensive and you can negotiate also.

    Price is too high, complete rip off If you take the package, it will cost you 30$ for less than 15 min of activities The jet ski part is less than 2 min and they won’t even let you “drive”

    Very friendly and professional people. We went for scuba diving and were explained all the safety precautions beforehand. the equipments are well maintained and of good quality. The rates are comparable to other water sports center (will not say that they are cheap). All in all awesome experience.

    I would have spent 2 times of what I spent in 2 hours if they were more customer oriented. Completely money minded, Not concerned about customer satisfaction. No Value for money - whatever the games we played they just completed even without taking us for the whole round they specified. Twist in the tale , For such an experience staff asking for LKR 5000 as tips....

  • 4/5 snap z. 5 years ago on Google
    They have many activities that one can do individually or with family like the banana boat, tubes, wave boards, surfing, snorkeling, deep sea diving, deep sea fishing and many more. Go for the 1800cc Jet Ski! They allow you to drive the Jet Ski all over the place for 15 minutes without being accompanied by an instructor. It is a surreal feeling. I went for the tube ride which was really fun. They make you purposefully fall in the water at the speed of 80 km an hour, it feels like you have been slap so hard that you literally start seeing stars. It's just a 2 minute ride, but completely worth it. I also did snorkeling. They take you to an island which is about 8 km from the base. We went on a day where the seas were a bit rough so the visibility of marine life was a problem. Also the instructor forgot to record the video on the GoPro. The staff were really courteous and well trained to do their job very professionally! We met the owner also who was really friendly. We then ended our day by having a nice group meal there. Overall it was a nice experience but it could have been better if our video was recorded.

    I as part of a group of around 35 tourists visited this place in first week of Jan 2020. The initial impressions made by the presenter / salesperson was good and we 8 people quickly bought a package of speed boat for a 15 minutes ride. We onboraded the speed boat quickly, but the speed boat was kept idle for good 15-20 mins. The sun was sharp that day and many of us were uncomfortable sitting for such long time... After many requests, we realised that there is no fuel in the boat. We still waited for another 5-7 mins but fuel never came. Irritated, we off loaded and asked for refund. There was little reluctance in giving back our money however they realised their mistake and gave back our money.

    Hi, We had taken up the family package for the water sports in your center and we had also done Scuba Diving which costed us 50 $ for 4 person. We went for the diving on the 28th Dec 2015 under the assistance of Mr Upali. We had got pictures clicked underwater as well which was to be sent to our email id by the 1st of Jan. We havn't yet received the same inspite of several reminders. They have cheated us so I request you to try other sports centers in Bentota. They are much better. Thanks!!!

    The package deal is a rip off We went as a family of 5 and took the $30 package, it ended up lasting 15 min for 3 activities!! The jet ski round was a 2 min ride where you don't even get to drive the Sea-Doo To avoid
