    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.

    (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.

    This is a good place to have a awesome time with all kinds of water activities. I highly recommend their full package. The donut ride is the most fun out of them all. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Do try their one hour boat ride as well. You will get to see a variety of things along the way. The prices are affordable and well worth it.

    Absolutely horrible! Safety Instructions are not given properly,basic maintenance is ignored,the gear is flawed and DONT MEET THE SAFETY STANDARDS. Moreover the rides are very expensive and the money is collected US dollars, there is an additional 3.5% to the total amount and its NOT TAX .The staff is extremely rude and insults visitors,unnecessary waste of time and money! MONEY IS GIVEN TOP PRIORITY NOT SERVICE.

    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.

    Helpful staff. We had booked for scuba diving but due to bad weather could not complete our dive. Yet they refunded our entire amount. Would definitely recommend this place for water sports as they look out for safety first. The staff is also very friendly.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 5/5 Senthil Kumar C. 3 months ago on Google • 120 reviews New
    We tried their water activities. We tried banana boat, sofa ride, flyfish, jetski and paramounting. All the rides were a lot of fun especially the sofa ride. The kids loved the flyfish but it was too hard on my shoulders and would recommend adults who have any shoulder issues to avoid it. For paramounting they had to take us to the other side of the water and it was the most interesting ride even thought it was expensive. Overall would recommend this place as the staff are also very friendly.

    We went for a package of three sports with 8 person. Banana ride, sofa ride and jet skiing. We enjoyed the sofa ride very much. Sofa ride is must try, don't miss it. Joyful experience.

    This is a great place to do various water-related fun activities! very friendly service and they take our safety as their first priority. Prices are very reasonable. Additionally, you can do paramotoring with a beautiful beach view and the lagoon! Highly recommend this place.

    "Our visit here was filled with excitement and adventure. The staff is not only incredibly professional but also exceptionally friendly. They made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout our water sports activities. The equipment was top-notch, and the instructors were knowledgeable and patient, especially for someone like me who was trying water sports for the first time. It was an adrenaline-pumping experience that left us with unforgettable memories. If you're looking for thrilling water sports in a beautiful setting, Diyakawa Water Sport Center is the place to be. Highly recommended!"

    Was nice to the clients and flexible with their packages. They provide it all from lockers, changing rooms, wash rooms etc. Most important thing is they would take your safety first. Great variation of activities!

  • 5/5 DHANUSHKA S. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended for tourists. They have crocodile show as well as fish therapy spot. I love the ride inside the small jungle and the place where River water and Sea water are getting mixed. However the fish therapy area is bit dirty and it was not well maintained. May be due to lack of tourists. The entrance for the fish therapy area is too risk for old peoples. We went there with four people and they charged only Rs. 4000 for the whole trip. It was like 3 hours in side the boat. They have many water sports like jesky and banana ride and many more. Very good for young and energetic peoples.

  • 5/5 Dilan A. 1 year ago on Google
    I was visiting from UK Manchester and my brother-in-law( Subhashana Rathnayake contact +94 77 778 4914) recommended this place. They have a variety of water sports. We did the Madu river ride, snorkelling and jetski ride. I have 8 year old and he absolutely loved the jet speed ride and snorkelling. The expertise I was amazed by the experience and the knowledge they guys were possessed. All the lads were local born and bread and grew up with the culture. It’s was very personal to them. They aren’t just doing a job they created a memorable experience you once get once in your lifetime. Equipment and gear They well maintained and clean furthermore organised. Environment If you get a good sunny day without rain you will get the best experience. Rough sea can be a daunting experience unless you’re prepared for it. But all this provided by diyakawa team and nothing to worry about. Make sure you tip them generously. Prices Although my brother in law booked them, I have paid the package price. Don’t talk to them knock off the price as you never do that in Europe or US . This is a pure skilled jobs that they are responsible for your life. Food We had light bit here but you can have a full lunch and dinner here. Variety of dishes available. Just ask! Plan your day ahead with your guide as they will know better than you. Please don’t walk in this place that thinking “ I might get ripped off this place “ . You’re only there for few hours but it’s a lifestyle for Diyakawa Team.

    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.
