About this experience
Step into your private, air-conditioned vehicle and spend seven hours exploring the highlights around Bentota with an English-speaking chauffeur guide at your side. Your first stop is Lunuganga, the atmospheric estate garden that renowned Sri Lankan architect Sir Geoffrey Bawa shaped over decades — wander its terraced lawns, reflecting pools, and sculptural plantings at a leisurely pace. Hotel pickup and drop-off from your Bentota accommodation are included, so there's no logistics to worry about.
The tour concludes at Balapitiya, where you board a boat for a Madu River Safari through a network of mangrove-lined waterways. Watch for water monitor lizards, kingfishers, and temple islands as you glide through the lagoon. A one-litre water bottle per person is provided throughout the day. Entrance tickets, meals, and gratuities are not included, so carry some local currency for the sights along the route. Minimum age for this private tour is five years.
