Seylan Bank, in partnership with Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams, Sri Lanka, and Cinnamon Nature Trails, the wildlife and adventure experience provider of Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, recently hosted an exclusive wildlife and leisure experience titled ‘Jewels Beneath the Waves’ for Seylan Private Banking clients.
The event, part of Cinnamon Nature Trails’ ‘Top Experts in the City’ series, was held on Saturday, 29 August 2026, at Cumulus on Level 23 of Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams Sri Lanka. The evening brought together acclaimed photographers Eric Goh and Chitral Jayatilake, Vice President of Cinnamon Nature Trails, offering guests an immersive exploration of wildlife, underwater photography and nature travel.
Curated exclusively for Seylan Private Banking, the event presented two distinctive perspectives on photography and the natural world. Internationally recognised aquatic photographer Eric Goh shared insights and stories from his extensive underwater journeys, giving guests a rare perspective on marine environments and the often unseen world beneath the waves.
The evening also showcased the work of Chitral Jayatilake, whose team’s wildlife encounters and expeditions across the globe added another dimension to the experience. Guests were also offered an exclusive and complimentary preview of upcoming nature travel experiences by Cinnamon Nature Trails.
Through ‘Jewels Beneath the Waves,’ guests were invited to explore the diversity, mystery and beauty of underwater ecosystems while experiencing the power of photography as a medium for wildlife storytelling. The event also continued Cinnamon Nature Trails’ platform of bringing together leading voices in wildlife and photography to inspire audiences through meaningful connections with the natural world.
The event offered guests an opportunity to engage with exceptional photographic work while gaining insights from two accomplished photographers and learning about their individual approaches to wildlife exploration, visual storytelling and creative expression.
With more than two decades of specialised experience in underwater nature photography, Eric Goh has built an extensive portfolio covering diverse marine environments. His work has been featured in numerous international magazines, newspapers, books and campaigns, reflecting his long-standing contribution to underwater photography and marine storytelling.
