Galle Excursion
(Half day from Bentota and full day from Colombo)

Pick up Pax from Bentota / Colombo and proceed to Galle. Enroute visit a turtle hatchery operated by the wild life protection society of Sri Lanka. Several species of turtle, especially the hawksbill, are endangered; most vulnerable of all are their eggs; which are left uncovered on beaches all around the coast. The goodwill of kosgoda area fishermen, who bring these eggs gratis to the hatchery, has led to the hatching and release of 100,000 young turtles in only two years since the hatchery opened. Thereafter do a Boat ride in the River. Thereafter do a City tour of Galle. Once the chief port of Ceylon as Sri Lanka was named by the British. It is still well known for hand-made lace, tortoise shell curios and ebony elephants. You can also visit the Galle fort (spanning 90 acres), which was originally built by the Portuguese and later extended by the Dutch in 1663. This is a world heritage site.
