This coastal day tour explores the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort, a remarkably preserved 17th-century Dutch sea fortress housing one of the most atmospheric and culturally rich small-town communities in Asia. A guided walk through the fort’s cobblestone lanes reveals colonial mansions, ancient Dutch churches, independent art galleries and speciality cafes set within centuries-old architecture. The afternoon extends along the southern coastline to Unawatuna and sea turtle conservation hatcheries.
