Great experiences - We really enjoyed this excision, with the main attraction being the turtle centre, the water safari and the visit to Galle. All of the activities were enjoyable and the driver we had (Krish) was the best we had during our week on Sri Lanka. It’s worth nothing there are charges for the turtles and water safari on the trip, we paid 6k and 8k Sri Lanken per person respectively, so you need to add this into your trip budget. A great day out highly recommended.

Had a lovely time! - Picked up in a very comfortable van by a pleasant driver who took us to Galle to see the sights. As there was a slight miscommunication we took an additional boat trip through the mangroves then on to the turtle sanctuary. It was a great day out.
