About this experience
Step out of your Ahungalla hotel and into an air-conditioned vehicle for a full day touring the best of Sri Lanka's Southern coast. Watch stilt fishermen balance above the waves on their weathered poles, then head to a tea factory to see exactly how leaves become the island's famous brew. A hands-on cooking demonstration introduces you to local spices and techniques before a fresh seafood lunch at a local restaurant gives you the chance to taste them. A chilled bottle of water is included to keep you going throughout the day.
The afternoon takes you into the historic city of Galle, where your English-speaking chauffeur guide leads you through the cobbled lanes of the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort — Dutch ramparts, colonial architecture, and ocean views all in one compact walled city. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and the private format means the pace suits your group. Minimum age is five, making this a solid choice for families and couples alike. The full day runs to ten hours.
