About this experience

Step into a private, air-conditioned vehicle at your Mount Lavinia hotel and head south along Sri Lanka's coastline on this 11-hour day trip. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide takes you first to Handunugoda Tea Factory — one of the few tea estates in the country situated close to the beach — where you'll see how leaves are processed and learn what makes this coastal plantation unusual. A water bottle per person is provided to keep you refreshed along the way.

After Handunugoda, the tour continues to the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort, where your guide leads you along the 17th-century Dutch ramparts and through the historic streets of the original town. Entrance tickets are not included, so carry local currency for any sites you wish to enter. This is a private tour, meaning the itinerary moves at your pace with no shared coaches or strangers in tow. Hotel drop-off is included at the end of the day.
