Things to do

One thing that brings you to Tissamaharama is definitely the Yala National Park. Via our exclusive partner, we do arrange safari trips to Yala but not only. We can also arrange you safaris to the Bundala National Park or to the Udawalawe National Park.

If you go for a morning safari, we will automatically provide you a breakfast packet. You just need to tell us the day before at what time you leave the hotel with the jeep. Also, if you want to go for a full day safari or a afternoon safari, we can provide you a lunch or snack packet too.

Contact us via email to have some more informations about the safari tours (our partner's prices, duration etc.) or directly at our front desk. Now that you have visited the Yala National Park or Bundala or Udawalawe, you might want to do something here in Tissa in addition to the resting time you will have at the hotel.

Well, you will be pleased to know that there are several relaxing activities to do around.

You can rent our bikes for a ride by the Tissa lake which will offer you a wonderful scene when the sun goes down. The bats also make it special as they all gather in the huge trees nearby. They all fly together crowding the sky for few minutes and the pleasure of nature watchers. Not to mention the four other big lakes of Tissa.

The "Tissa Croisette" as we like to call it at the Blue Turtle Hotel is also perfect for the sportspersons who would like to run or workout. At sunset, the weather and the view make it really pleasant.

If you look around, you will also see the Dagoba of Tissa which is a Bouddhist temple you can visit to have a moment of spirituality and empty your mind.

Tissa is one of this part of Sri Lanka still hiding some beautiful places not affected by mass tourism. Go find them.

Nice but obsolete

Beautiful environment, beautiful garden and superb pool. However the facilities in the room (air conditioning and fan) are old and noisy. The bathroom is obsolete, the doucje is barely functional.
