Sri Lanka
Hikkaduwa was not planned on the program and yet ... we went there twice!
Between dream beaches, surfers atmosphere, coral sanctuary and meeting with wild turtles, this is a spot not to be missed during your road trip in Sri Lanka!
What to do in Hikkaduwa?
1 watchwords: chill and surf!
Beaches where to sunbathe, surf, have a drink. All the Hikkaduwa vibe summed up

2 Go see the wild turtles by the beach. DO NOT TOUCH THEM! Human skin bacteria are not made to go on marine animals

3 Go visit the turtle hatchery. It is a place where volunteers collect turtle eggs from the beaches to protect them from predators. Once they are big enough, with more chances of survival, they are released into the sea. If you are lucky, you can come across this day and take them there yourself. There are also handicapped or injured turtles being treated there.
