"This is Sri Lanka’s only hands-on sea cucumber farming experience, set in the natural beauty of Ariyalai's coastal waters. Unlike other tours, we take you directly into the middle of the sea to visit a real working aquaculture farm — not a museum or demonstration tank. Guests will hold live sea cucumbers, learn directly from experienced farmers, relax in a wooden hut floating above the ocean, and enjoy local Ceylon tea with breathtaking sea views. With guides fluent in English, Tamil, Sinhala, and German, and a warm, authentic local welcome, this is a rare opportunity to connect with Jaffna’s coastal life in a way most travelers never experience."

What's Included

"Enjoy complimentary Ceylon tea or coffee served at our guest hut overlooking the sea, along with light local snacks."
"Strictly no alcohol is served or permitted during this experience to maintain a family-friendly and respectful environment."
