Hikkaduwa Coral Sanctuary does not publish a fixed price, so this site will not invent one. Check the official page below.

What to know

A shallow reef you can snorkel from the beach, with green turtles that come in to feed. Priced by boat or gear hire rather than at a gate. The coral is much reduced by bleaching and tourist traffic - go for the turtles, not the reef.

Minimum age 5.
