Itinerary
Galle Fort on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka is the unmissable destination of the region. It is easily and best explored on foot. Here’s how. Built by the Portuguese, fortified by the Dutch, modified by the British and restored by the Sri Lankans after the 2004 Tsunami, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Galle Fort marks out Galle as Sri Lanka’s most intriguing city.
Kosgoda Turtle Care program aims to protect sea turtle eggs and increase hatching rates. We not only do hatching, but also we treat disabled Turtles and treat the weak ones due to fishing. Our staff patrols the beach all night looking for mother sea turtles that come out of the ocean to lay their eggs

Everything was great in this tour! I would recommend everyone to have it and enjoy this beautiful country
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the tour.
Pushpaka was my driver/guide. He knew the history of the sites and more details than I expected. He looked after my safety and comfort the entire time. If you've experienced traffic in Sri Lanaka (between the tuk tuks, motorbikes, cars, trucks) you know it takes a good driver to navigate it. Not something I'd try. Glad I went with this company and thankful for P:ushpaka as a guide/driver. Would recommend the tour and the driver!!
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the tour.
Had an incredible day on this tour today!! Pushpaka was a perfect host; he was on time, informative and extremely accommodating towards our needs throughout the day. The view we had a lunch was just beautiful, and the menu was varied and therefore catered for all palates. Honestly couldn’t recommend this tour company more! Thank you again, we had an amazing day :)
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the tour.
The experience was amazingggg! So Pushpaka, the tour guide, was great! He picked me and my friend up from out hotel right on time and we hit the road. Our first stop was Galle Fort where we walked around where we seen a snake charmer and took photos) and ate (the burger was green but magically delicious). After, we headed to the Madu River boat ride and stopped on a little island where they showed you how to prepare cinnamon! It smelled heavenly. It was hot but the boat had an optional awning for shade. We saw actual wild monkeys but they didn’t come down from the trees. And then the turtle hatchery! We learned about the turtles and got to hold them as well! All in all, Pushpaka showed us a great time and got us back on one piece! *photos courtesy of Pushpaka*
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the tour.
