Galle Day Tour from Colombo – A Coastal Escape Full of Culture, History & Nature

Escape the city for a day and discover the beauty of Sri Lanka’s southern coast with our Galle Day Tour from Colombo. This full-day tour offers a blend of tradition, relaxation, history, and marine conservation. Travel in comfort with a private, air-conditioned vehicle and an English-speaking chauffeur as you explore the highlights of the Galle region.

Pickup from Colombo

Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Colombo. Sit back and enjoy the scenic drive along the southern expressway.

Stilt Fishermen in Weligama

Our first stop is Weligama, where you’ll witness the iconic Stilt Fishermen, a unique and traditional fishing method found only in southern Sri Lanka. Fishermen sit perched on wooden poles embedded in the shallow waters, balancing skill and patience as they wait for their catch. It’s a rare and fascinating sight that captures the essence of Sri Lanka’s coastal life.

Jungle Beach – Unawatuna

Next, we head to the serene Jungle Beach in Unawatuna. Tucked away between lush greenery and the ocean, this hidden gem offers crystal-clear waters and a peaceful ambiance. Take time to stroll along the beach, relax, or dip your feet in the warm waters.

Galle Fort – A UNESCO World Heritage Site

Explore the historic Galle Fort, originally built by the Portuguese in the 16th century and later fortified by the Dutch. Wander through cobblestone streets lined with colonial buildings, boutique shops, and charming cafés. Visit landmarks like the Galle Lighthouse, the Old Dutch Church, and the Clock Tower while soaking in panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.

Gem Museum Visit

Discover Sri Lanka’s world-famous gemstones at a Gem Museum in Galle. Learn about the gem mining and cutting process, see dazzling displays of precious stones such as sapphires and moonstones, and understand why Sri Lanka is globally renowned for its gem industry.

Seafood Lunch

Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch at a coastal restaurant, featuring the best local catches prepared with authentic Sri Lankan flavors. A delightful meal with ocean views makes the perfect mid-day break.

Tsunami Museum Visit

We then visit the Tsunami Museum, a sobering and educational stop that commemorates the lives lost during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The museum showcases photographs, stories, and artifacts that tell the story of resilience and recovery in affected coastal communities

Spice and Herbal Garden – Meethiyagoda

In Meethiyagoda, visit a peaceful Spice and Herbal Garden, where you can learn about Sri Lanka’s traditional Ayurvedic herbs and spices. Walk through the garden and discover natural remedies used for centuries in healing and wellness, such as cinnamon, pepper, ginger, and more.

Turtle Hatchery Visit

Our final stop is a Turtle Hatchery along the coast, where you can see conservation efforts aimed at protecting endangered sea turtles. Learn about the hatchery’s mission, observe baby turtles, and if you’re lucky, witness a release into the ocean.

Return to Colombo

After an enriching day along the southern coast, we head back to Colombo via the highway, arriving in the evening with unforgettable memories.
