Had a great time

We loved our tour with Anoj! He was friendly and knowledgable and we had a lot of fun. He tailored the tour to what we wanted to do. The van was very modern and comfortable with excellent AC. The turtle hatchery was amazing and the baby turtles were adorable!

Inspiring 1 Day Tour in Southern Sri Lanka

Great trip. Raji, Anoj's brother, along with Arjun were on time to pick us from Colombo. Showed us all the main attractions on the route to Galle. Everything went really fine. Very accommodative people. Glad they gave us the option to customize our trip. Helped us with the train tickets to Jaffna as well. Also, way cheaper than similar trips offered by some other websites. Recommended!

Learn to Drive a Tuk-Tuk Like the Pros!

What a brilliant day. We learned to drive a tuktuk and so much more. The tour of Galle fort was informative whilst not drowning us with information and it was fantastic to meet your family as well - thank you!

Learn to Drive a Tuk-Tuk Like the Pros!

I booked a personalised tour with Dilshan, which is basically the tuktuk experience plus pick up and drop off in my hotel in Unawatuna. I enjoyed the tour immensely. As I like history and culture very much, he tailored it to what I like - skipping some things and adding more temples. It was a great surprise. Conversations with Dilshan and his brother in law, Harsha, were also very stimulating. They gave me great insights to the history of Galle Fort, bits of Ramayana, lessons from Buddhism, as well as everyday Sri Lankan life. I also got to meet their families; they were very warm and hospitable. The dinner was a normal Sri Lankan dinner (minus the chili!) and was very sumptous. I highly recommend Dilshan's tuktuk experience.

Things to do in Galle

  • Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project
    Everybody loves turtles. Admit it, you do too. The Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project is a beautiful organization that takes care of the turtles of Galle. Ever since the tsunami that happened in 2004, these people are helping the animals to restore, give medical care and a place for them to hatch (which is beautiful to see), and cuddle them. That’s right. If you always wanted to cuddle a turtle, this is the place. Entrance is completely free.
  • Jungle Beach
    It is a beach, and as soon as you get there, you’ll realize why it is called the “Jungle beach”. Yellow sand, companioned by green trees. You’ll get completely relaxed as soon as you get here. People actually noticed that time stops as soon as you are exploring this beautiful piece of nature.
  • Bike tours
    Although countries like Sri Lanka haven’t accepted the bicycle as a way of transportation as much as in more western countries, there are several bike tours available.
