Overview

  • Galle is one of Sri Lanka's most populous cities. This beachside paradise in the southwest of the island is one of the best-known in the entire country because of its historical significance. It served as the island's main port until the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century. While travelling, look out for fishermen selling their wares along the side of the road and take in the stunning green and turquoise beaches that line it. Tell our chauffeur if you wish to bury your toes in the sand. There are two possibilities regarding the origin of Galle's current name. You can have a unique experience while walking on Galle Fort by gazing down and taking in the view of the sea. You may take in the sunset over the fort in the evening. Once the sun has set, return to the port carrying priceless memories.

Activity itinerary

Colombo (Pass by)

Sri Lanka's capital city, Colombo, has a long history of serving as a port on ancient east-west trade routes that were successively run by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British. Its engineering, which combines pilgrim shrines with high structures and retail malls, is a reflection of that tradition.

Madu River Safari by Buddhi

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included

Galle Fort Lighthouse

  • 30m
The Galle lighthouse is situated inside the landmark Galle Fort. It is built seven metres above the road on the ramparts. This is Sri Lanka’s oldest light station dating back to 1848, but the original lighthouse was destroyed by fire in 1934. It was rebuilt at the current height of 26m. The light station is within the walls of the ancient Galle fort, a UNESCO world heritage site and well known tourist attraction, making this the countries most often visited lighthouse. (Combines with Galle fort)

Maritime Archeology Museum (Pass by)

The National Maritime Museum of Galle is chock-full of nautical and marine marvels, dug up from the sea and showcased here. Galle has always been a major harbour, visited by ships and traders from across the globe for several millennia. As such it did not escape the clutches of the Dutch traders who put profit before all else.

Galle Fort Clock Tower

  • 30m
The Galle Clock Tower is a four storey tall stone monument hailing from the late 19th century. It was built within the ramparts of the Galle Fort on the site of the previous guardroom, overlooking one of the three bastions of the fort. While the aged clock tower is a great monument to photograph, it will take some skilful manoeuvring due to the extreme angle close by. Hence it might be better to photograph it from the Moon Bastion which the tower faces.( combines with Galle fort) End of the tour, will head back to Accommodation with full of nice memories

Dutch Reformed Church

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
Originally built in 1640, the present building dates from 1752. Its floor is paved with gravestones from Dutch cemeteries, while other impressive features include the organ and an imposing pulpit made from calamander wood and topped by a grand hexagonal canopy.( combines with Galle fort)

Galle International Cricket Stadium (Pass by)

Once a racecourse for wagering British colonials, Galle's cricket ground was established over 100 years ago. Since 1998 it has been used for international matches; in 2010 it was the site of the legendary last appearance of Sri Lanka's great bowler, Muttiah Muralitharan. There's a great perspective of the ground from the Sun Bastion to the south.

Dutch Hospital Shopping Precinct

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
- Located in Galle, Dutch Hospital Shopping Precinct as the name would suggest is a shopping centre located in a beautifully restored colonial building originally built during the Dutch occupation. It has a constantly growing selection of places to eat, drink or shop. There are fabulous bay views from its upper balcony. (combines with Galle fort)
