On this private excursion to Galle from Unawatuna, we'll visit one of the most important colonial towns in Sri Lanka.

Galle Private Tour

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Unawatuna at 8 am to start the private tour to Galle, an ancient colonial town in Sri Lanka. After a short drive along the southern coast, we'll reach Galle, recognized for its significant history. The tour begins by exploring the fortification of Galle, focusing on the Portuguese and Dutch occupations in the 18th century.

First, we'll visit Galle Fort, a complex of historical importance that withstood the 2004 tsunami. It is remarkably well-preserved. Following this, we'll go to the bastions of Utrecht and Triton, which offer stunning views of the bay.

We will then walk through the streets of the old town of Galle. If desired, you can visit the Maritime Museum. After the guided tour, there will be free time for lunch at a local restaurant and to relax on the beach.

At the agreed time, we'll reconvene and depart from Galle to return to Unawatuna, concluding the tour at your hotel after 7 hours.
