From pick up to drop off we had a wonderful time!

From pick up to drop off we had a wonderful time! We started our trip in Colombo so there was quite a drive to Galle, but our driver, who spoke English, made us as comfortable as possible. Traffic was a little hairy, however we arrived in one piece! Many stops along the way broke up the travels. Our experience was unforgettable! Lots of local sights, flavors and smells (one of our side trips was a fishing port!) It was a very long day for us, beginning at 8:00am to 9:00 pm, but it was full of adventures!

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience! It's absolutely delightful to hear that your Galle day tour exceeded your expectations and created such unforgettable memories. Thank you for choosing us for your Galle day tour, and we hope you have many more wonderful memories to cherish from your time in our beautiful country. Safe travels, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime!

A day packed with great experiences

My wife and I along with our four year old son had a great day. Benthota beach was our first stop, then the turtle hatchery, followed by the river safari, and ending in Galle Fort. All are great experiences for all ages, we got up close to turtles and a baby crocodile and saw many other animals. highly recommended.
