Kite Trips
The most amazing kite trips in Sri Lanka!
Kalpitiya is surrounded by some of the best kitesurfing spots in the world, perfect for downwinders and kite trips. At Margarita Kite School we organize weekly trips, always adapting to the season and wind conditions. From May to October, the southwest wind blows strong and steady at 20–25 knots. From December to March, the northeast wind averages 16–18 knots.
North of Kalpitiya you’ll find remote islands with flat water and super steady wind. Vella Island is the most famous, but there are plenty of other secret spots waiting for you! If you prefer waves, then Donkey Point is the ultimate ocean spot.
👉 Join us on one of our kite trips and discover why Kalpitiya is considered the kitesurfing paradise of Sri Lanka!
> Vella Island trip
Located 45 min by boat from Kalpitiya, this is a paradise island. This tiny island is probably one of the best kitesurfing spots in the world.
> Dream spot
This is located on the Dutch Bay, only 25 minutes by boat from Kalpitiya. At Dutch Bay, the wind is very steady. And the water is flat and shallow with side shore wind.
> Kalpitiya Lagoon
Just to 30 min by vehicle from Kalpitiya there is a small lagoon with very steady wind, flat and shallow water.
> Puttalam lagoon islands
In Puttalam Lagoon, there are many islands with flat and shallow water. We will be happy to show you all of them.
> Donkey Point
There are probably no other places in Kalpitiya where the wind is as strong and steady as it is on the Donkey point. This spot is located on a cape where you can kite on the ocean with relatively good waves.
