Pigeon Island turned out to be an unexpected delight during our visit to Trincomalee in March 2024. While I initially hesitated, preferring to head straight to the hotel for some relaxation, my wife's insistence led us to this gem of an experience. The government's setup at Nilaveli Beach streamlined the boat and snorkeling adventure seamlessly. Although I hadn't planned on snorkeling, I'm grateful we did. It proved to be an exhilarating adventure, with an abundance of reef sharks and stunning coral formations. I'd recommend bringing your own snorkeling equipment for added convenience and hygiene. March seems to be an ideal time to visit, as it's less crowded compared to the peak season. Overall, Pigeon Island exceeded my expectations, offering a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty.

Beautiful island for snorkelling but sadly no facilities on the island. As couple of hours was enough for us. It’s quite expensive for the boat and entrance fee. If you want to go longer, take food and water. Probably better areas to see!

I paid about $80, this included entrance fee , guide and bost ride there and back . You can stay as long as you want. I definitely recommend a guide, he'll show you the best spots. I saw about 8 black tip sharks ,2 turtles and many coral and vivid colored fish. I used my new underwater camera and was pleased at what I saw. A very small area so not else to see. I had 2 45 min sessions

Don't go there off-season. Although it was end of march, and the season was just couple of weeks away. It was a scary and long journey to the island maneuvering among the waves. Saw two sharks, otherwise you could see all the same for much lesser amount of money in other places. Might have had a better experience if the visit was during the season

immediately after a confirmed booking I got a whatsapp with a time change, they did not run the boat that was confirmed. Also clear instruction "do not book on Tripadvisor" Snorkling partly ok, reef dead, some fish, couple turtles and a shark. Second part of the snorkling in very low visibility water, the guide decided to send the crowd in alone. If someone was not a good swimmer, too me it looked very risky. I can only say, don't go
