Itinéraire
Complétez votre visite de la journée à Galle en visitant les incroyables pêcheurs sur échasses à Weligama. Les pêcheurs s'assoient sur une barre transversale attachée à un poteau vertical planté dans le récif corallien et utilisent l'échasse d'une main tout en pratiquant la pêche à la ligne avec l'autre main. La pratique de la pêche sur échasses a commencé environ 50 ans après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, lorsque les pêcheurs ont découvert que la pêche depuis les rochers qui avancent sur la mer ne suffisait pas à attraper des poissons en grand nombre, alors ils ont commencé à planter des tuyaux métalliques jetés dans le récif et à les utiliser comme appui pour pêcher. Au fil du temps, les pêcheurs ont découvert que le bois fonctionnait tout aussi bien et ont développé les poteaux en les transformant en versions plus modernes que nous voyons aujourd'hui. C'est un spectacle unique à voir et qui ne doit pas être manqué, alors que nous observons et admirons l'habileté de l'homme à surmonter tous les obstacles.
Vous descendez vers la véritable destination de votre excursion d'une journée - Jungle Beach. Pas une personne en vue, juste deux étendues de sable désertes piégées entre l'océan et le Rocher de Rumassala. Après avoir vécu la déception totale de la plage d'Unawatuna, cette plage était exactement ce dont nous avions besoin. La paix, la solitude et une nature magnifique.
Fort hollandais de Galle - Après avoir appris la détermination sans faille des habitants à travers l'art exposé au Musée de photos du tsunami, dirigeons-nous maintenant vers le Fort hollandais de Galle. Avec une histoire tumultueuse remontant à plusieurs siècles, l'emplacement stratégique de la ville en a fait un centre d'échanges commerciaux par mer, puis un point de débarquement pour les dirigeants coloniaux de l'île. Un fort a été construit pour assurer la protection et la préservation de la ville par les Portugais au début du XVIe siècle, puis largement fortifié par les Hollandais au cours du XVIIe siècle. À l'origine, le fort était une structure en terre avec des palissades, un rempart et trois bastions et un fossé l'entourant. Sous le contrôle des Hollandais, ils ont construit des fortifications imprenables en corail et en granit et le Fort ressemblait à une petite ville fortifiée avec un plan rectangulaire de rues pleines de maisons basses avec des pignons et des vérandas.

Restaurant de plage pour le déjeuner
La prochaine étape de votre visite sera le Tsunami Photo Museum situé à Talwatte. Après le dévastateur tsunami de 2004, qui a frappé le Sri Lanka ainsi que de nombreux autres pays, le processus de récupération a été lent, long et difficile. Les zones côtières ont été les plus touchées et la reconstruction se poursuit toujours, avec la réhabilitation physique et psycho-sociale étant l'un des domaines les plus importants. Pour faciliter le processus afin que les gens puissent parler et articuler les horreurs du tsunami ainsi que pour fournir un endroit où la beauté et l'art sont toujours en abondance, le Tsunami Photo Museum a été créé. C'est un musée entièrement caritatif qui offre une entrée gratuite et qui possède des dessins, des peintures, des photographies - de l'art sous toutes ses formes - pour raconter l'histoire de chaque individu qui a vécu le tsunami de 2004.
Spice Herbal Garden
La couveuse de tortues - Votre excursion d'une journée à Galle commence par une visite à la couveuse de tortues. Le Sri Lanka abrite de nombreuses créatures sauvages, notamment des espèces marines. Sur les sept espèces de tortues marines dans le monde, cinq d'entre elles se rendent au Sri Lanka pour pondre tout au long de l'année. Les cinq espèces de tortues marines qui nichent au Sri Lanka comprennent la tortue verte, la tortue luth, la tortue imbriquée, la tortue caouanne et la tortue olivâtre. Établies pour protéger les tortues qui nichent sur les plages du Sri Lanka de l'extinction, les couveuses de tortues marines sont exploitées par la Société de protection de la faune sauvage du Sri Lanka et comptent sur des bénévoles pour les aider dans leur projet de conservation. Vous pouvez aider à relâcher les tortues dans la mer et découvrir comment nous pouvons aider ces espèces en danger à vivre un peu plus longtemps.

Deshan will be very happy to hear your kind words; he always goes the extra mile to make each journey comfortable, informative, and memorable.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable journey in Sri Lanka!
We chose a one-day Galle trip from Colombo with Lanka Tours, hosted by Deshan, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our Sri Lanka journey. From the very beginning, the company was quick to respond to all our booking queries, and their team was extremely helpful throughout the website booking process. Deshan, however, truly made the experience exceptional. He was hands down the best host we had during our trip—going above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. He made sure we covered every major attraction and even included a few special stops outside the planned itinerary. His charm and popularity were evident everywhere we went, and the warm hospitality we received at each location was remarkable, especially during the delicious Sri Lankan lunch at Hotel Refresh. I highly recommend the Galle tour with Lanka Tours. Their itinerary is thoughtfully planned to cover all the key spots, and having such a wonderful host makes the experience even more memorable. When I return to Sri Lanka, I will definitely book more tours with them—they’ve left us with lasting impressions and beautiful memories.

I had a pleasant experience. The pickup was on time and Mr.Deshan was kind and patient. Some places were not included and we skipped Gem factory. Be prepared for scorching heat. Food was very bad in quality and taste.
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback and for highlighting the positive aspects of your experience. We are pleased to hear that the pickup was on time and that Mr. Deshan provided kind and patient service. Concerning the food, we sincerely apologize that it did not meet your expectations.

After lunch, our team checked with you about the meal, and at that time no issues were raised.

I joined a one-day tour to Galle and it was a wonderful experience. We saw the stilt fishermen, explored Galle’s Dutch Fort, had a lovely lunch on the beach, visited a gem factory, a spice and herb garden, and even stopped by a turtle conservation site. The whole day felt very chill and pleasant. My driver, Deshan, spoke excellent English, shared great stories, and was really funny — he made the trip even more enjoyable. A memorable and relaxing day out!

Had a great day out with Chamika. So many experiences packed in to one day - beautiful beaches, historic sites and a really interesting insight into Ayurvedic herbs and their uses. The ride was comfortable and cool and the lunch we chose (rice and curry set) was authentic and served while the waves lapped only meters away. Highly recommend this one day tour with Chamika.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed the variety of experiences and had a memorable day. It was a pleasure showing you around, and I’m happy you loved the authentic Sri Lankan lunch by the beach. Hope to see you again on another adventure soon.
Desham our tour guide was amazing. My wife got ill during the tour and he adjusted the trip to accomodate and really looked after her - Thank you This trip is a must do - Galle and surrounding area so beautiful and interesting. Loved the day Thank you Ask for Desham you will not be disappointed
After completing a 7-day tour of Sri Lanka, we booked a day tour from Colombo to Galle, as this part of the country was not on our tour itinerary. Pick up at our hotel was seamless. We are so glad that we visited this part of the country. The day was jam-packed with highlights, and our driver/guide Deshan was excellent. He was knowledgeable and friendly and adjusted the tour to suit our needs. He provided some fantastic suggestions for other stops. The Dutch Fort was much bigger than I expected and fascinating to explore. The gem museum was very informative. The staff there were not all about just trying to make a sale. The tsunami museum was somber, and the turtle hatchery was brilliant. It was a great final day in Sri Lanka
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We’re thrilled that you chose us for your day tour to Galle and that it became such a memorable finale to your Sri Lanka trip. It’s great to hear that Deshan provided exceptional service, tailoring the tour to your needs and offering fantastic suggestions along the way. We’re glad you enjoyed exploring full day tour Galle. We hope to welcome you back to Sri Lanka for more adventures in the future!
Absolutely wonderful trip! We had the best time and really appreciated the carefully curated stops. They fed on each other, gave a deep feeling of the Sri Lankan culture, and allowed us a chance to support the local people. Our guide was Fantastic and took amazing care with our time and interests. We highly recommend this group for your touring needs in Sri Lanka!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We truly appreciate the time and effort you took to share your experience. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we're so glad to hear that you had a positive experience. We look forward to serving you again in the future!
