About this experience
Step into your private, air-conditioned vehicle for a full day along Sri Lanka's southern coastline. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide collects you directly from your Bentota hotel before heading to the Madu River, where a boat safari winds through dense mangrove channels teeming with wildlife. Next, stop at the moonstone mines in Metiyagoda for a ground-level look at how these gems are extracted, then stretch out on the white sands of Unawatuna beach.
The day ends inside the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort, where you walk cobblestone streets lined with Dutch-colonial architecture, rampart walls, and boutique galleries. Lakpura arranges hotel pickup and drop-off, a 1-litre water bottle per person, and all transport — keeping the day straightforward and unhurried. Minimum age is five, and the tour runs in English. Food, entrance fees, and gratuities are not included.
