About this experience
Step into your private, air-conditioned vehicle in Galle and head north along the coast for a 7.5-hour day trip. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide takes you first to Lunuganga, the celebrated country estate of architect Sir Geoffrey Bawa — a landscape of terraced gardens, lawns, and water views shaped over decades. Next, stop at the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery, where rescued sea turtle eggs are incubated and hatchlings are released back into the Indian Ocean. A water bottle is provided per person to keep you refreshed along the way.
The afternoon brings you to Balapitiya for a boat safari on the Madu River — a slow drift through mangrove channels and past small island temples. Your guide narrates the ecology and local life as you move through the waterways. Hotel pickup and drop-off from Galle are included. Entrance tickets, meals, and gratuities are not included. Minimum age for this private tour is 5 years.
