Galle One Day Excursion

A south coast city centred on the 17th-century Galle Dutch Fort, beaches and shipwreck dive sites

Free cancellation available
Up to 24 hours before the start time

You will explore Galle on Sri Lanka’s south coast, a city known for its seventeenth-century Galle Dutch Fort. The fort is built of coral limestone and granite and is one of Sri Lanka’s most visited attractions. As you move through the town and along the fort walls, you will see colonial architecture, narrow streets and coastal views that help explain why Galle is a popular holiday resort district.

Along the coastline you will find a string of pristine beaches famed for their sunsets. Hikkaduwa, Unawatuna, Koggala, Dalawella and Narigama each attract thousands of sun worshippers, surfers, scuba divers and holidaymakers every year. The surrounding seas offer excellent coral reefs for snorkelling, superb surfing waves and clear shipwreck dive sites, so you will encounter a variety of water-based activities and marine sights. Along the way you may spot local life centred on the beach and sea, and enjoy photographic views of the coastline at dusk.
