Leave the laid-back beach town of Unawatuna for a day of culture and nature. Explore the historic Galle Fort, where colonial architecture, ocean views, and charming streets offer a glimpse into Sri Lanka’s past.
Then enjoy a peaceful boat ride on the Madu River, gliding through mangroves and stopping at small islands with temples and cinnamon farms. It’s the perfect mix of history, wildlife, and coastal beauty, all in one day.
Step back in time as you walk through cobbled streets surrounded by 17th-century Dutch architecture. Discover colonial churches, art galleries, museums, and boutiques all within the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort. Don’t miss the iconic lighthouse and sunset views from the ramparts.
Hop on a boat and cruise through a serene network of mangroves, islands, and open waterways. Watch for water monitors, monkeys, and birdlife as you explore hidden Buddhist shrines, cinnamon plantations, and even a fish spa island!
