Visit one of the most beautiful cities in southern Sri Lanka, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with this Galle Day Trip. Immerse yourself in its exciting history with this tour from Negombo.

Private Galle Day Trip

At 7 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in Negombo and head to Galle, one of the most historic cities in Sri Lanka.

First, we'll visit the famous Galle Fort, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the 16th century, the Portuguese built this bastion to protect one of the main ports in the Indian Ocean.

The excursion will continue to Galle's southern beaches, where we'll visit its renowned turtle farm. You'll also see nearby coves where locals practice stilt fishing, a unique fishing technique originating in this area.

After an hour of free time to eat, we'll visit the Tsunami Museum to learn about the devastating tidal wave that struck the Indian Ocean coast in December 2004. This event inspired films such as The Impossible.

Our final stops will be a herb garden and the Moonstone Mine, which according to legend contains stones from the moon.

The tour will conclude with a return to your hotel in Negombo, arriving at 7 pm.
