About this experience

Montez à bord d'un véhicule privé à Colombo et passez deux jours à explorer le littoral sud du Sri Lanka avec un chauffeur-guide anglophone. Le premier jour vous fait traverser la rare plantation de thé des basses terres de Hadungoda, puis les remparts du Fort Hollandais dans la ville coloniale de Galle, et longe le rivage à Koggala où les pêcheurs aux échasses se tiennent en équilibre au-dessus des eaux peu profondes. Vous passez la nuit sur la côte avant une deuxième journée complète sur l'eau et les berges des rivières.

Le deuxième jour, vous montez à bord d'un bateau dans la Baie de Mirissa pour l'observation des baleines, puis dans une pirogue sur le Fleuve Madu pour un safari de mangroves, et à terre au centre d'éclosion des tortues de Balapitiya pour voir le travail de conservation de près. Votre tarif comprend le véhicule privé, le carburant, les péages d'autoroute, votre chauffeur-guide, et deux bouteilles d'eau de 500 ml par personne chaque jour. L'hébergement à l'hôtel, les repas et les frais d'entrée des sites sont arrangés séparément.
