Over deze activiteit

U wordt opgehaald bij uw hotel in Negombo, Colombo, Mount Lavinia, Kalutara, Bentota, Beruwela of Galle en vervolgens naar het Nederlandse fort van Galle gebracht. Het fort is een historisch, archeologisch en architectonisch erfgoedmonument. Het ziet er na meer dan 423 jaar nog prachtig uit, dankzij intensieve reconstructiewerkzaamheden door de archeologische dienst van Sri Lanka.

Volgende stop is Ambalangoda, bekend om de prachtige inheemse maskers die worden gesneden door hele generaties snijders uit de regio. Mis de verschillende maskers die te koop zijn niet; de huidige producties zijn bonter en hebben levendige kleuren.

Later bezoekt u Balapitiya en krijgt u lunch bij het restaurant Gangabada Asiriya. Na de lunch kunt u de unieke schoonheid van de rivier de Maduganga ontdekken op een boottocht. De monding van de Maduganga, een relatief ongerepte lagune, is een 915 hectare groot ecosysteem dat uitmondt in de Indische Oceaan.

Laat in de middag brengt u een bezoek aan een schildpaddenbroederij in Kosgoda. Hier worden deze bijna uitgestorven schildpadden gefokt en verzorgd. uitgestorven in Sri Lanka. Bezoekers kunnen de jonge schildpadjes zien en zelfs meedoen om ze los te laten in de zee. Aan het einde van de tour wordt u teruggebracht naar uw hotel.

The trip was well organized, very scenic, and informative. I think you have to be a history and environmental lover to enjoy this trip as there is a lot of focus on the history and environmental work being done in Sri Lanka. Just one warning - the visit to the Dutch Fort at Galle is self-guided, so make sure that you come prepared with fort information or visit the museum to get a map and orientation. Make sure you walk around the full circumference of the walled fort. Also a lot of walking required, so bring good shoes, hat, and sunblock. I learned a lot and saw things I never thought I would see including water monitors, blue kingfishers, cormorants, fishing boats, floating coconut stores, cinnamon preparation and a floating session through a mangrove swamp - fascinating.

Great tour. Absolutely love Galle and all the stops along the way. The turtles are adorable but beware of one of the guides there because he is a bit handsy. They should actually go to a different turtle place because that particular man was rude and inappropriate. Its unfortunate because everyone else in the entire country was relatively kind and welcoming so this was a negative start to our visit. The tour guide/driver was polite and friendly. He stopped at some nice places. The river cruise was an additional 80USD but it was spectacular and one of the best experiences we had in Sri Lanka. The mask museum was educational and quiet. The museum store also had reasonable prices for all sculptures, masks etc and I would recommend purchasing from there as opposed to any of the places in Kandy. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was extremely expensive but I think worth it in this case. We had trouble deciding what to order and our waiter went to the side of the sea, received a fresh catch and brought it to us on a plate as an option and we loved it. All in all a great day! I wish we spent 3 of them there!

Loved this tour! Our tour guide, Damitha, was wonderful!! We spent time walking around the fort and got to see all the sights there. Then we went to our river tour and lunch. The lunch was simple and wonderful. The river tour was great. Got to see many different islands and go onto them. Different ones were known for growing cinnamon and another had a Buddhist monastery where we received a blessing from a monk. After the river tour, we went to the turtle sanctuary. It was amazing!!!! We just happened to show up at the perfect time and two different nests hatched. What an amazing experience!!! After being able to release some turtles to the ocean, we headed back to our hotel. Overall a wonderful day!!
