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 most important ports in the Indian Ocean at that time.

The excursion will continue to Galle's southern beaches, where we'll visit its famous turtle farm. You'll also see the nearby coves where locals practice stilt fishing, a traditional fishing technique that originated in this area of Sri Lanka.

After an hour of free time to eat, we'll visit the Tsunami Museum to learn about the great tidal wave that devastated the Indian Ocean coast in December 2004. This natural disaster has influenced films such as The Impossible, directed by Spanish filmmaker Juan Antonio Bayona.

Our final stops will be a herb garden and the Moonstone Mine, which is said to contain stones from the moon itself.

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