Embark on one of the most immersive experience, combining untamed wildlife and timeless culture. Departing from the charming surf town, this half-day adventure blends a Kumana Safari with a visit to the serene Kudumbigala Monastery.
Located just 30 km from the vibrant surf town, Kumana National Park offers a unique safari experience, far from the crowds. Expect encounters with elephants, leopards, sloth bears, crocodiles, wild boars, and over 255 species of birds. It’s a highlight among things to do in Arugam Bay, especially for nature lovers.
Next, we journey to Kudumbigala Monastery, an ancient Buddhist complex nestled in the forest 5 km before the Kumana entrance. From the Balumgala rock, enjoy sweeping views over Panama village, Panama beach and the surrounding wilderness—a must-see Arugam Bay attraction.
Travel comfortably in a 4×4 vehicle with a professional guide who’ll keep the tour engaging from start to finish. We’ll provide drinks and snacks to keep you refreshed along the way. The trip starts midday and returns early evening, making it a perfect blend of wildlife and heritage on your list of what to do.
For those exploring options beyond a Lagoon Safari Arugam Bay, this tour offers a thrilling alternative with deeper cultural roots—definitely one of the most recommended Safari experience.
