The 15 Best Galle Day Trips from Colombo

22 tours

The southern expressway puts the Galle ramparts two hours from your hotel, which leaves plenty of day for turtles at Kosgoda and a river hour at Madu Ganga. These trips differ mostly in how many stops they cram in, so the list gives you the running order and the price for each.

“I went with my parents for this day tour, and Chiranga was our driver and guide for the day. We truly enjoyed the tour from the start to the end. Wonderfully planned itinerary that covers a range of activities to see and do in the South, and although the day was packed, we did not feel rushed at any of the attractions. We particularly enjoyed the Galle fort and the Turtle Hatchery. Chiranga was an excellent guide, humorous, always willing to share his experience and knowledge about the various attractions. I would definitely recommend this tour, good job Sanota Walkers!”
