About this experience

Besteigen Sie ein privates Fahrzeug in Colombo und verbringen Sie zwei Tage damit, die südliche Küstenlinie Sri Lankas mit einem englischsprachigen Chauffeurführer zu erkunden. Der erste Tag führt Sie durch die seltene Tiefland-Teeplantage von Hadungoda, in die Festungsmauern des niederländischen Forts im kolonialen Galle und entlang der Küstenlinie bei Koggala, wo Stelzenfischer über den flachen Gewässern balancieren. Sie übernachten an der Küste, bevor ein ganzer zweiter Tag auf dem Wasser und am Flussufer folgt.

Am zweiten Tag besteigen Sie ein Boot in der Mirissa Bay zum Walbeobachten, dann ein Einbaum im Madu River für eine Mangrovensafari und gehen an der Schildkröten-Aufzuchtstation in Balapitiya an Land, um die Schutzarbeit aus nächster Nähe zu sehen. Ihre Gebühr deckt das private Fahrzeug, Treibstoff, Autobahnmautstellen, Ihren Chauffeurführer und zwei 500-ml-Wasserflaschen pro Person und Tag ab. Hotelunterkünfte, Mahlzeiten und Eintrittsgelder an den Stätten werden separat arrangiert.
