Description
Experience a scenic train ride along the coast and explore the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort on a guided tour. Enjoy free time to shop and dine in Galle and Boat Cruise in Madu River returning to Colombo.
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Colombo. Head to the Colombo Fort Railway Station and board the train for a breathtaking journey south.
For approximately 2-3 hours, watch as the urban landscape of Colombo gives way to picturesque vistas of vibrant fishing villages, lush palm groves, and endless stretches of golden sand. The most iconic moment is when the track runs mere feet from the Indian Ocean, creating the unforgettable illusion of gliding directly over the water.
Disembark at Galle Railway Station, where your guide will be waiting for you(You can get down from any station along the route and guide will start from there). Begin your walking tour of the magnificent Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This living fortification, built by the Portuguese and later fortified by the Dutch, is a maze of quiet cobblestone streets lined with colonial-era buildings, chic cafes, and quirky boutiques.
Your guide will lead you to key landmarks including the iconic Galle Lighthouse, the historic Dutch Reformed Church, and the ancient ramparts. Walk along the massive sun-baked walls for spectacular views of the ocean, the fort, and local cricket matches playing on the grounds below.
After the guided portion, enjoy ample free time to explore on your own. Find a souvenir, enjoy a fresh lime juice at a café, or simply soak in the unique atmosphere.
On your way can have a Private Boat River Safari in Madu River Balapitiya which is optional.
To ensure a relaxed return, travel back to Colombo in comfort in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, with drop-off directly at your hotel.
