Excellent private day trip from Colombo to Galle city - We had a wonderful day trip from Colombo to Galle. Rasika picked us up from the hotel without an issue and took us to where we wanted to go. The trip is private so it was great that we didn't have to share the ride with anyone. The program tour can also be customized to suit your need. Highly recommended.

Sea turtle experience - Sea turtle sanctuary where we discovered amongst other things that they are ticklish through their shell. We loved interacting with them in this way
