About this experience

Set out from Talpe in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with your English-speaking chauffeur guide for an 11-hour loop along Sri Lanka's southern coast. Visit two sacred Buddhist temples, then step into the ancestral home and museum of the late Martin Wickramasinghe — one of Sri Lanka's most celebrated authors — where his life and literary legacy are preserved in detail. A stop at a snake farm in Matara adds an unexpected edge to the day before you continue to the Japanese Peace Pagoda.

Arrive at the Pagoda as the sun drops toward the horizon and watch calm ocean waves break below the white dome. The tour is private, so the pace is yours. Hotel pick-up and drop-off from Galle are included, along with a litre of bottled mineral water per person. Entrance fees, meals, and gratuities are not included, so carry some cash for the sites.
