Leave behind the beachy calm of Madiha and head north along Sri Lanka’s southern coast for a day filled with colonial charm, riverside adventures, and rich biodiversity. This tour takes you to the iconic Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in history, and then to the tranquil waters of the Madu River for a relaxing boat safari through mangroves and island temples.
