This unique cultural experience invites you to explore Galle like a true local, far from the busy tourist areas. Guided by a knowledgeable and friendly Sri Lankan host, you’ll embark on a journey that blends nature, history, culture, and authentic human connection.
Begin your adventure with a peaceful boat safari across the vast Koggala Lake. Surround yourself with mangrove forests, spot vibrant birdlife, and learn about local fishing traditions. A stop at Cinnamon Island offers a hands-on look at the traditional process of cultivating world-famous Ceylon cinnamon.
Continue to the iconic Galle Dutch Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk the ramparts, discover colonial-era landmarks, and take in panoramic ocean views as your guide shares fascinating stories of the city’s past.
Next, explore the lush Handunugoda Tea Estate, where you’ll follow the journey of tea from leaf to cup. Enjoy a tasting session featuring premium Oolong tea paired with local snacks.
At the Sea Turtle Hatchery, learn about conservation efforts, baby turtle care, rehabilitation, and the remarkable nesting behaviors of different species.
The highlight of your day comes last—stepping into a local home for a traditional Sri Lankan meal. Prepared with love by the host’s family, this feast features authentic dishes, spices, and customs that reflect generations of culinary heritage. Enjoy warm hospitality, chat with local children practicing their English, and experience Sri Lankan family life in its purest form.
This all-inclusive, privately guided tour offers comfort, culture, and unforgettable memories.
