Galle Fort & Bentota Day Trip from Colombo
Description
Visit Galle - The city resembles no other city in Sri Lanka, and meandering around through the tight lanes makes you even overlook that you are in Sri Lanka. It really wants to walk the lanes of a medieval city in Europe! Extremely peculiar in away. Madu River is situated in the south of Sri Lanka close Galle. The water of the waterway is specked with little islands and the banks are altogether secured with lavish mangrove timberlands that are home to many unbelievable creature species. Appreciate many dynamic tropical winged animals and a couple of crocodiles in case you're fortunate enough. These animals are quite uncommon and don't care for groups.

Old Town of Galle, Sri Lanka. ... Galle was built as a fortified coastal city with large walls along the seashore. It was designed with a European way of thinking – that attacks from colonial competitors could come from the sea as well as the land.
Welcome to Sea Turtle Hatchery - Mahamodara. We rescue turtles who are in danger of loosing their lives to the fishing industry whether they are caught in nets or hunted for meat. We currently have 40 turtles, including 4 types of turtle. All are welcome to come and visit to see and learn about Tara turtles here in Sri Lanka.
The history of Galle extends thousands of years to biblical times. In more recent times it was a prize to be possessed for western traders in search of wealth and glory. Its beautifully preserved colonial Dutch fort with its quaint city with cobblestone streets within is a place time forgot. Close by are magnificent beaches, rainforests and other attractions. It is definitely a fascinating place to visit.

We really enjoyed this excision, with the main attraction being the turtle centre, the water safari and the visit to Galle. All of the activities were enjoyable and the driver we had (Krish) was the best we had during our week on Sri Lanka. It’s worth nothing there are charges for the turtles and water safari on the trip, we paid 6k and 8k Sri Lanken per person respectively, so you need to add this into your trip budget. A great day out highly recommended.
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.
Love to have the Driver Saman for lovely tour and arrangements , pickup time didn’t have expected can change last minute still driver manage to arrange. Turtles , water sports are highlight on tour
