Description
Discover the beauty of Sri Lanka’s southern coastline on a full-day private tour from Colombo. Enjoy a boat safari on the Madu River, visit a turtle sanctuary, and explore Galle Fort.
Begin your day heading south toward Bentota, where you’ll enjoy a scenic boat safari along the tranquil Madu River. Cruise through lush mangroves, pass small islands, and witness local life along the waterways. You may even experience a traditional fish spa during your stop.
Continue to a traditional cinnamon garden, where you’ll learn how authentic Ceylon cinnamon is harvested and processed using age-old techniques. This is a real working garden, offering a genuine look into one of Sri Lanka’s most famous exports.
Next, visit the Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project, where rescued turtles are protected and rehabilitated. Learn about conservation efforts and see different species up close.
Your journey then takes you to the Meetiyagoda Moonstone Mine, one of the few places in the world where moonstones are mined. Discover the traditional mining process and explore a unique part of Sri Lanka’s gem heritage.
Relax and unwind at the peaceful Jungle Beach, a quiet coastal spot surrounded by nature, perfect for a short break away from crowds.
In the afternoon, explore the historic Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk along its cobblestone streets, admire colonial architecture, and enjoy panoramic ocean views while learning about its rich history.
If time permits, stop briefly at Hikkaduwa Beach, known for its vibrant coastal atmosphere and scenic shoreline.
Throughout the day, enjoy a well-balanced itinerary that blends guided experiences with free time to explore and relax.
This experience is designed as a guided coastal journey rather than just transportation, offering meaningful stops, local interaction, and a deeper understanding of Sri Lanka’s southern region.
Return to Colombo in the evening with unforgettable memories of culture, nature, and coastal beauty.
