Private Galle Day Trip

Your adventure begins at 7 am when our team will collect you from your hotel in Negombo to embark on a journey to Galle, regarded as one of the country’s most historic locations.

Your first destination will be the renowned Galle Fort, a site of UNESCO heritage. Constructed in the 16th century by the Portuguese, this fortress was built to safeguard one of the Indian Ocean’s crucial ports during that era.

Continuing the tour, we will head to Galle's southern beaches, where you'll have the opportunity to visit a well-known turtle farm. Here, you can also observe nearby coves where locals engage in stilt fishing, a unique fishing method that originated in this very region of Sri Lanka.

Following an hour of leisure for lunch, our journey will take us to the Tsunami Museum, where you will learn about the devastating tidal wave that struck the Indian Ocean coastline on Christmas 2004. This tragedy has inspired films, including The Impossible, directed by Spanish filmmaker Juan Antonio Bayona.

As we conclude our exploration, we will visit a herb garden and the intriguing Moonstone Mine, a site rumored to contain stones from the moon.

The tour will culminate with a return to your hotel in Negombo, with an expected arrival time of 7 pm.
