Beginning in the once Tamil state of Trincomalee, choose to embark on a boat safari to the wildlife rich coral reefs of Pigeon Island National Park or go in search of blue whale, sperm whale and dolphins during a cetacean safari (May – October). Then continue South to the pristine beaches of Passikudah to stay in a serine beach resort, ideal for honeymooners and families alike.
