The tranquil, sapphire-blue waters of the Indian Ocean have a perfect average temperature of 27 degrees. Diving and snorkelling are popular, as coral reefs encircle the island. Experience city life in lively Colombo, visit temples, and see Asian elephants in their natural environment. Explore vibrant markets and the cultural centre of Kandy.
