Additional Information

Explore Galle - This city is distinctively unique from other cities in Sri Lanka, and wandering through its narrow streets can indeed make you forget that you are actually in Sri Lanka. It’s almost as if you are navigating the streets of an ancient European city! Truly a bizarre experience in its own way.

Located in the southern region of Sri Lanka near Galle is the Madu River. The river waters are dotted with tiny islands, and its banks are abundantly covered with lush mangrove forests that are thriving with a myriad of fascinating animal species. Expect to witness an array of vibrant tropical birds and, if you’re in luck, you might spot a few crocodiles. However, these creatures are fairly rare and do not fancy crowded areas.

  • The duration of transfers are approximate 8 hours, the exact duration will depend on the time of day and traffic conditions

Had a lovely time! - Picked up in a very comfortable van by a pleasant driver who took us to Galle to see the sights. As there was a slight miscommunication we took an additional boat trip through the mangroves then on to the turtle sanctuary. It was a great day out.
