Embark on a Galle Day Tour from Colombo Port and explore the captivating highlights of Sri Lanka’s southern coast with an experienced guide. Begin your journey by visiting Handunugoda Tea Estate, famous for producing virgin white tea, and catch a glimpse of the iconic stilt fishermen at Koggala. The tour culminates with a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Galle Fort, where 17th-century fortifications stand amidst colonial architecture, museums, and charming cafes.
Galle, situated on Sri Lanka’s southwestern tip, is approximately 119 kilometers from Colombo. Galle Fort is a remarkable historical site and the largest remaining European-built fort in Asia. A visit to Galle Fort offers a deep dive into its rich history as a trading hub and its strategic significance in maritime commerce, which made it a prime target for colonial powers.
The Handunugoda Estate, unique for being the only tea estate in Sri Lanka’s coastal region, specializes in the production of rare virgin white tea. It’s one of the few estates that exports high-quality, premium teas to the global market. After exploring the tea factory, the tour continues along the coastline to witness the fascinating practice of stilt fishing, a traditional fishing method unique to Sri Lanka.
