The current 29-metre-high (95 ft) lighthouse was built in 1952 after the Old Colombo Lighthouse was deactivated when its light became obscured by nearby buildings as part of the Colombo Harbor Expansion project. It was opened by Rt Hon D.S. Senanayake, the first prime minister of Ceylon. Built on a concrete base which is 12 m (39 ft) high, it has four statues of lions at its base. Due to the panoramic view of the Indian Ocean it offered, it became a city landmark. With the escalation of the Sri Lankan Civil War, public access to the site was restricted. This was due to its placement in a high-security zone as it is across the street from the Naval Headquarters and close proximity of the Port of Colombo.

Sri Lanka has been referred to as Ratna Dipa (island of gems) from ages past. The moniker is well deserved for the abundance and variety of gem deposits the island is blessed with. Famed for excellent Sri Lankan blue sapphires, no less beautiful are the cat’s eyes, Alexandrites, rubies, star stones and various other precious and semi- precious gems found here. We take you on a gem tour covering a gem museum where you will learn about the gem industry in Sri Lanka through an informative film, see a mock-up of a gem pit where you get the hang of traditional gem mining, and visit a gem and jewellery gallery where you may inspect the dazzling stones at close quarters using a loupe, learning to distinguish quality based on colour, size, luster, and the absence of imperfections. Finally you will see the stones being set in to jewellery.
National Museum of Colombo, also known as the Sri Lanka National Museum is one of two museums in Colombo. It is the largest museum in Sri Lanka. It is maintained by the Department of National Museum of the central government

There were a group of 8 of us and I booked the tuk tuk trip before travelling. My husband is a wheelchair user so we also hired another tuk tuk for this to be driven around for us. Althaf Was our driver and he was knowledgable, good fun and lovely to have as a guide. He made our tour interesting and fun and listened to what we wanted to do, instead of insisting on a set itinerary that some companies insist of making you complete (jewellery shops, fabric shops etc). He fully appreciated the limitations of my husband and respected the fact that, at times, he didn’t want to fully explore at a stop off but I did. He balanced this incredibly well. Our wheelchair was well cared for in the other tuk tuk and we arrived back at the port in plenty of time for our cruise departure time. I’d thoroughly recommend this tour.
