Stop 1: Madu Ganga River Boat Safari

  • Madu Ganga River Boat Safari: An unforgettable river boat safari through the serene waterways of Madu Ganga. Do not miss the famous fish spa experience — one of the finest excursions Sri Lanka has to offer, keeping you amazed at every turn.

Stop 2: Handunugoda Tea Estate

  • Handunugoda Tea Estate: Located just 30 minutes from Galle Fort, this is perhaps the closest tea plantation in the world to the sea. Renowned as the Virgin White Tea Factory, the estate produces a unique white tea that is completely untouched — a rare and extraordinary experience for tea lovers.

Stop 3: Galle Fort (Dutch Fort)

  • Galle Fort: Also known as the Dutch Fort, this fortification was first built by the Portuguese on the southwestern coast of Sri Lanka in the late 16th century. Extensively modified by the Dutch in the 17th century, it stands today as one of the finest examples of colonial-era architecture in Asia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Stop 4: Unawatuna Beach

  • Unawatuna Beach: One of Sri Lanka's most celebrated destinations, Unawatuna is a stunning banana-shaped beach of golden sand and turquoise waters, framed by lush palm trees. A perfect way to end the day before heading back.
