Experience the charm, culture, and natural beauty of Sri Lanka’s southern coastline in one unforgettable day with Prestige Escapes Tours.

Cruise along the peaceful Madu River through mangrove forests, then meet the gentle sea turtles at the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery. Continue to the world-famous Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that blends Dutch and Sri Lankan history with ocean views.

Your journey continues to Weligama, where you’ll witness the traditional stilt fishermen — a unique and centuries-old fishing method found only in southern Sri Lanka. Capture breathtaking photos as they balance gracefully above the waves.

End the day relaxing at Hikkaduwa or Unawatuna Beach, enjoying the golden sands, tropical breeze, and sunset over the Indian Ocean.

Enjoy a comfortable private vehicle, English-speaking chauffeur and pickup/drop-off. Whether you’re seeking nature, history, or scenic beauty, this full-day south coast experience has it all.
