🏰 Galle Day Tour

Step Back in Time and Embrace the Coastal Charm of the South

Join us for a captivating Galle Day Tour, where colonial history, precious gems, exotic wildlife, and golden beaches all come together for a perfect coastal adventure. Galle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-see destination that blends old-world elegance with the laid-back beauty of Sri Lanka’s southern coast.

Tour Highlights:

  • Galle Fort – Explore the iconic Galle Dutch Fort, a 16th-century fortress built by the Portuguese and later fortified by the Dutch. With cobblestone streets, art galleries, quirky cafes, and colonial architecture, Galle Fort is a living museum. Take in panoramic views of the ocean from the ramparts, visit the lighthouse, and dive into the area’s rich history.
  • Moonstone Mine – Discover the wonders of Sri Lanka’s gem industry with a visit to an authentic moonstone mine. Learn how these mystical gems are mined and polished, and witness the beautiful craftsmanship that turns them into fine jewelry. You may even find a sparkling souvenir to take home!
  • Turtle Hatchery – Get up close with one of nature’s most gentle creatures at a local sea turtle conservation center. Learn about the life cycle of turtles, see rescued adults and adorable hatchlings, and support a cause that protects these endangered species.
  • Hikkaduwa Beach & Sea Turtles – Wrap up your tour with a visit to the vibrant Hikkaduwa beach, where crystal-clear waters and soft sand await. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see wild sea turtles up close near the shoreline, and even feed them — an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and families.
