What you can expect

Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Colombo or Negombo. Head to the Kosgoda Turtle Care Centre, where you can learn about the conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures.

Next, embark on a memorable boat safari on the Madu River in Balapitiya. Glide through the mangroves and keep an eye out for wildlife. Experience a unique fish therapy session, where tiny fish gently nibble at your feet, providing a natural exfoliation.

Continue to the Galle Dutch Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Stroll along the fort’s walls, taking in the stunning views of the ocean and the charming colonial architecture. Learn about the fort’s history and its significance in Sri Lanka’s past.

Afterwards, visit the stilt fishermen in Koggala, a traditional fishing method unique to Sri Lanka. Watch as the fishermen balance on stilts, casting their lines into the sea.

Finally, relax at Dalawella Beach, where you can swim and snorkel with giant turtles. Enjoy the pristine sands and crystal-clear waters before returning to your hotel.
