About this experience
Travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle from Mount Lavinia to Ratnapura — Sri Lanka's ancient City of Gemstones — on this 7-hour guided day trip. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide traces the city's long mining history as you watch traditional miners at work at a moonstone mine, then see raw gems washed and sorted by hand. A visit to the Sri Lanka Gem Museum in Ratnapura puts the craft in context, from rough stone to certified cut gem.
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with a water bottle per person. The tour is private, so the pace suits you. Entrance tickets, food, drinks, and gratuities are not included. Travellers must be at least 11 years old. If you wish, browse and purchase certified gems directly from local traders — no obligation to buy.
