Complete package overview
An active 7-day complete Sri Lanka holiday designed for mid-year beach travellers and families, including selected hotels, daily breakfast, private chauffeur transport and the listed experiences across Arugam Bay / Pottuvil. The route includes accommodation, private chauffeur travel and a planned sightseeing programme. Entrance tickets and variable supplier activity fees are added only when specifically stated or requested in the final quotation. We can adjust nights, hotel category, meal plan, room type and activity level before confirmation.
Choose your hotel level
Each level remains a complete package. Only the accommodation standard, vehicle level, meal plan and experience detail change.
East Coast season: Sri Lanka Tourism identifies the May–September southwest-monsoon period as a strong time to explore the eastern dry-zone destinations including Trincomalee and Arugam Bay. October–November is more transitional, so Trustker reconfirms sea conditions and marine activity operation for the exact travel dates.
Marine activities: Swimming, snorkeling, diving, Pigeon Island trips, whale/dolphin watching, lagoon trips and other marine activities depend on sea/weather conditions, park/supplier operation and current local rules. Boat, guide, equipment and entrance charges are separate unless specifically included in the final quotation.
Arugam Bay surf: Sri Lanka Tourism describes Arugam Bay's main surf season as approximately April through October, with some official pages highlighting May–November as the strongest period. Surf lessons, board hire and the exact surf point are selected according to ability, swell and local conditions.
Arugam Bay hotel basis: The September public price is based on the current Trustker HRE Spice Trail Arugam Bay room categories. Jetwing Kottukal Beach House is not used for the September starting price because the currently loaded Trustker contract begins in November; it can be quoted as a later-season upgrade.

Variable entrance tickets and activity supplier fees are separate unless specifically stated as included.
