- Sea Turtle Farm and Hatchery - Habaraduwa - This sanctuary is home to disabled and baby turtles, showcasing four different species of turtles.
- Unawatuna Beach - Located in the Galle district of Sri Lanka, Unawatuna is a popular tourist destination renowned for its stunning beach and vibrant corals. It is considered one of the top spots for snorkeling and diving.
- Wewurukannala Vihara - Featuring a 50-meter-high seated Buddha statue, the largest in Sri Lanka, this temple is a vibrant attraction often filled with worshippers. Visitors pass through a “hall of horrors” with life-sized models of demons and sinners, depicting punishments such as being immersed in boiling cauldrons, sawn in half, and disemboweled.
- Coconut Tree Hill - This picturesque hill, lined with towering palm trees, extends into the Indian Ocean and overlooks Mirissa Bay. It is a popular spot for both locals and tourists to enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets while gazing at the expansive ocean.
- Handunugoda Tea Estate - Nestled in the hills above Koggala, this charming tea plantation offers complimentary, informative tours. Visitors can sample and learn about the production of over 25 tea varieties, including the renowned Virgin White tea, a delicate brew made from the smallest and newest leaves. While workers at large plantations typically pick 23kg of black tea daily, those here gather only 150 grams of virgin white leaves.

Excellent day! - This would be a great tour. Our third trip with Shehan and as always everything went great! We visited a lot of great places. Advice - order traditional Sri Lankan dishes at a restaurant in Galle, but make sure they are not spicy (it will be anyway).

Fort ramble - Fort is worth a visit for the history and architecture . A few coffee shops - coffee is average only . But the walk around is interesting
