We are on holidays in Avani Bentota and met Shiran on exit to ocean. Friendly man which knows a lot about Sri Lanka. We had interest in ocean's tours and he suggested us to visit whales tour. At 4am friendly driver picked up us from reception and delivered to Mirissa's harbor (he made the ride well, interesting told about a place where we go). Within 6 hrs trip on boat (good boat and staff) we wasn't able to see whales (didn't find them) and get back to the harbor. Just one negative moment: Boat provider refund a half of tickets price, because we didn't find whales (their terms and conditions) and driver got these moneys and told to speak with Shiran. "Friendly Shiran" said "it's a business" and paid back only 1/3 of refund. ????‍♂️

This was amazing! Our guides were awesome! Travelling around Colombo quickly and efficiently, seeing all the sites close up, with photo stops anytime you wanted! We visited Hindu temples and Buddhist temples with complete explanations by our guides. We stopped at two local shops for authentic souvenirs, and then went for lunch for authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. The tour was advertised to be 3-4 hours, but ours was 5+ hours!

Galle, 119km from Colombo, is a major city situated at the tip of the South Western coast of Sri Lanka. Being a coastal area, it is quite hot and humid but has an abundance of beautiful beaches in every town that you pass while travelling from Colombo to Galle. The Galle Fort was built by the Portuguese, fortified later by the Dutch and is well preserved till today. In addition to the Portuguese and Dutch remains, you will also find many British mansions left behind. As for beaches, the Unawatuna Bay probably tops it all and is safe for snorkelling and swimming because a reef protects it. There you have it, a day tour of the city of Galle in a nutshell.

Inclusions: Air Conditioned Private Vehicle, English Speaking Chauffeur, All Costs related to Vehicle, Boat and Chauffeur, Entrance Tickets for All mentioned Excursions, Bottled Drinking Water, All Government Taxes | No Hidden Cost

One of the most valuable historical monuments of Sri Lanka, this ancient palace and fortress complex has significant archaeological importance.Rock plateau formed from magma of an extinct volcano, 200 m high, 1200 steps to the top, since 3th century BC served as a monastery. Once you climbed the top, you enjoy a magnificent view of the surroundings.
