About this experience

Board your air-conditioned vehicle in Mount Lavinia and head north to Negombo, a coastal city where Dutch colonial architecture sits alongside modern commercial buildings. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide walks you through the city's most telling landmarks — including the 18th-century St. Mary's Church, a calm, ornate sanctuary in the middle of a busy urban streetscape. The private, six-hour tour is arranged for your group alone, so the pace and conversation are tailored to you.

Throughout the day, Lakpura keeps things straightforward: hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with a litre of bottled mineral water per person and all taxes. Entrance fees, meals, and gratuities are not covered, so carry local currency for anything you'd like to explore independently. Minimum age for this tour is five years, making it a practical choice for families travelling with young children.

Probably the worst beach we’ve visited abroad.
Stayed in an apartment overlooking Mount Lavinia beach. The views of the Beach and ocean were magnificent . That’s the end of it though. A walk on the beach is good for a few hundred yards either side of the Loon Toa res…
