Soar above Bentota’s coastline on a private 20-minute paramotoring flight — a high-visibility, low-effort way to see lagoons, river mouths and coconut-lined beaches from a new angle. Ideal for first-timers, the flight combines a short briefing with a calm, motor-assisted glide.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You lift off from a narrow strip of sand as the Indian Ocean unfurls beneath — a low hum from the motor, a cool offshore breeze, and the shoreline shrinking into a ribbon of coconut palms and fishing boats. In 20 minutes of private paramotoring above Bentota you trade the beach for a bird’s-eye corridor of lagoons, wetlands and colonial rooftops.
