About this experience

Montez à bord de votre véhicule climatisé à Balapitiya et passez dix heures à explorer trois points forts distincts de la côte sud-ouest du Sri Lanka. Votre chauffeur-guide anglophone vous conduit d'abord à Lunuganga, le célèbre domaine-jardin de l'architecte Geoffrey Bawa — un paysage de pelouses en terrasses, de bassins de réflexion et d'arbres sculptés surplombant une plantation de cannelle. Ensuite, montez à bord d'un bateau pour le safari du fleuve Madu Ganga, naviguant dans un dédale d'îles de mangrove riches en oiseaux et loutres fluviales. Votre guide vous montre des démonstrations d'épluchage de cannelle et de petits temples insulaires en chemin.

L'après-midi vous mène au Fort hollandais inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO à Galle, l'une des fortifications coloniales les mieux conservées d'Asie. Parcourez les remparts surplombant l'océan Indien, explorez les ruelles bordées d'architecture de l'époque hollandaise, et parcourez les boutiques et cafés au sein des murs du fort. La prise en charge et le retour à l'hôtel depuis Balapitiya sont inclus, ainsi qu'une bouteille d'eau par personne. Veuillez noter que les tickets d'entrée du Domaine de Lunuganga et du Safari en bateau du fleuve Madu sont payés séparément. Il s'agit d'une visite privée, ce qui la rend bien adaptée aux familles avec enfants de cinq ans et plus.
