The Kelani River at Kitulgala provides Grade 3 and 4 rapids through a forested gorge in a setting of complete natural enclosure. Expert certified guides manage safety without reducing the exhilaration – suitable for first-timers and experienced rafters alike. The same gorge is one of the island’s best lowland endemic bird sites, and a guided naturalist walk before or after the rafting adds a completely different dimension to the same day.
