Overview

Explore Sri Lanka’s southwest coast in ways impossible without the flexibility of a private car on this day trip from Colombo. Make the scenic journey south in comfort, stopping on route for a cruise on the mangrove-lined Madu River, a fish foot massage, and to try stilt fishing in the shallow seas. Plus, delve into 17th-century Galle Fort with a guide to provide background and history you might otherwise miss.
