About this experience

Board your private, air-conditioned vehicle in Balapitiya and head south along Sri Lanka's storied coastline. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide leads you through four distinct stops over nine hours: a boat safari into the mangrove channels of Madu River, a visit to the Moonstone Mines in Metiyagoda, sun and sand at Unawatuna's white beach, and a walk across the cobblestoned streets of Galle Fort's old city.

This is a private tour, so the pace suits your group. Hotel pickup and drop-off, the boat safari, and a water bottle per person are all included. Entrance tickets and meals are not covered, so carry some cash for those. Minimum age is five, making it a practical choice for families travelling with young children.
