We had an amazing time. Went multiple times. One needs to get a bought from the Nilaveli beach. You would also need to purchase a ticket from the Nilaveli beach ticketing booth. The prices very for locals and foreigners. The people who hire the boat rides also have snorkeling equipment. We were lucky to see some amazing sea life including sea turtles and also some decent size sharks in addition to fishes of various color and sizes. The place operates from around 8:30am to around 5pm. It’s better to go in the morning when the sun is not the hottest. You can easily spend 3+ hrs. Advice to take some water as there are no shops. Littering is NOT permitted so take some form of bag or container to bring your empty bottles or cartons. Kids will love this place
