What you can expect

  • Discover the natural beauty, wildlife, traditional crafts, and history of Sri Lanka’s southern coast on a private guided tour from Galle. Travel comfortably in a private air-conditioned vehicle while your knowledgeable local guide accompanies you to each destination and provides explanations throughout the journey.

    Begin at a Sea Turtle Conservation Centre in Habaraduwa. Observe Sri Lanka’s sea turtles, learn about the threats they face, and discover the conservation work carried out to protect these remarkable marine animals.

    Continue to Jungle Beach in Unawatuna, a peaceful coastal location surrounded by tropical greenery. Enjoy time to relax, walk along the beach, admire the Indian Ocean, and capture memorable photographs.

    Travel to Koggala Lake for a scenic boat safari through the peaceful lagoon and its beautiful natural surroundings. Depending on accessibility and local conditions, the boat journey may include wildlife viewing and islands such as Madol Duwa. Your guide will take you to the boat-safari location and assist with the arrangements.

    Discover Sri Lanka’s traditional craftsmanship with visits to selected gem, batik, and wood-carving workshops. At the gem workshop, learn about famous Ceylon gemstones and observe how natural gems are identified, cut, polished, and transformed into jewellery when demonstrations are available.
