Where you can jump instead
Jumping in Bentota, explained.
Bentota, on Sri Lanka's southwest coast 90 minutes from Colombo via the Southern Expressway, hosts a tandem operation flying over the Bentota River estuary, Bentota Beach, and the tropical inland mangroves. Tandem packages from LKR 146,000 (about USD 480). Best window is December-March (northeast monsoon ends, calm seas, clear skies); May-September southwest monsoon brings unpredictable weather. Easy combine with a Galle Fort weekend (1 hour further down the coast) or an Ahungalla resort stay — most international visitors land at Bandaranaike (CMB) and connect via highway.
Skydiving in Bentota: your questions.
How much does the Bentota Beach skydive cost?
Skydive Sri Lanka at Bentota is not currently flying — the operator confirmed this to us directly in August 2026. Eagles' Skydive at Koggala, about two hours south, is the only dropzone operating in Sri Lanka right now, with tandems from LKR 90,000.
When is the best time to jump at Bentota?
December to March — the west coast's dry season after the monsoon, with calm beach winds.
What's special about the Bentota jump?
The beach landing — you descend over the Indian Ocean and river-lagoon coastline and touch down on the sand at one of Sri Lanka's classic resort beaches.
Is the Bentota operation beginner-friendly?
Yes — tandem jumps with licensed instructors; Bentota's resort setting makes it an easy add-on to a south-coast holiday.
