Breathtaking views
The staff was very welcoming and made sure I understood everything before we started. The walk through the green forest to the start point was really peaceful and beautiful. When it came time to actually go down the waterfall, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness — but the guides were very encouraging.. highly recommend this to anyone who loves adventure and nature <3

Challenging, safe, and beautiful
had never tried abseiling before, so I was a little nervous, but the team at Laxapana made it so easy. Their safety briefing and training were very thorough, which gave me confidence. The walk through the forest was lovely.. This adventure is definitely worth it if you want to combine nature, thrill, and great company!”

I had heard about the Laxapana abseiling from friends and decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did! The guides explained everything clearly and helped us get suited up with the right gear. I was a little nervous at first, but the team’s support made me feel confident. Definitely recommend this to both locals and tourists!”
Unforgettable rush in paradise
Abseiling down Laxapana Falls was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had in Sri Lanka. The whole team was super friendly and made me feel really safe, even though it was my first time trying this kind of adventure. The walk through the forest to the starting point was peaceful and beautiful, and once I reached the edge, the adrenaline just kicked in! The view from the top was breathtaking — you can hear the water crashing below and feel the mist on your face.
Epic experience in a stunning location
The guides were very professional and made sure everyone felt safe and confident. The best part was getting a video of my descent, so I can always remember the day. If you’re looking for an exciting outdoor activity in Sri Lanka, Laxapana abseiling is the way to go!”
