Sri Lanka’s first sand dunes ATV adventure centre was declared open at the Colombo Port City today. Sports Minister Namal Rajapaksa was the chief guest while Tourism Minister Prasanna Ranatunga and Transport Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi were also present. The sand dunes ATV adventure centre is being managed by Ranul Thantilage, Director of Colombo Dunes by Crate Adventure.
The company already operates a centre in Gampaha known as “Colombo Mountain” which is an adventure seeker’s hotspot nestled in a rocky mountain terrain.
In 2017, Crate Adventure Pvt Ltd identified the gap in Sri Lanka between general tourism and adventure tourism. Most travellers seek to spend time with nature and experience adventure. The majority of the tourists that arrive in Sri Lanka and local travellers are ones that want to keep a foot forward towards adventure. They seek activities that have now become a sport such as ATV riding which is mostly available in the North American and European regions.
This gap was the key to initiating Crate Adventure on the 4th of January 2018. Joining hands with the World’s Leading ATV manufacturer, a North American Company, Can-Am by BRP; Crate Adventure featured top-in-the-class, high-end ATVs that exceed client expectations.
The initial centre was based at Gampaha, around 45 mins drive from Colombo. Known as “Colombo Mountain” this is an adventure seeker’s hotspot nestled in a rocky mountain terrain.
At the time of launch, this was South Asia’s First ATV Adventure Park. This ATV track located in a natural forest terrain is home to a great deal of fauna and flora, rock caves and panoramic 360-degree lookout points, where one could even see the Colombo skyline from.
Going forward in 2020, Crate Adventure got the opportunity to expand its services to Colombo by building the first sand dune ATV adventure centre in Sri Lanka. At “Colombo Dunes” by Crate Adventure in Port City Colombo one could unleash their adventurous self on the multiple tracks situated in the heart of Colombo. Drive the ATVs through sand dunes and experience a one-of-a-kind beach ride on Sri Lanka’s only artificial beach. The special purpose-built trailer will provide an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for families and senior citizens to explore Sri Lanka’s first man-made beach while the youth enjoy the adrenaline-rushing experience of riding through the dunes. Crate Adventure offers a mix of adventure, physical exercise, and relaxation with nature for all age groups.
