Colombo city to Galle
Two roads lead south from Colombo: the Southern Expressway runs straight to Galle Fort, while the old coast road strings together Kalutara, Bentota and Hikkaduwa. A private transfer lets you mix both — motorway out, then a turtle hatchery or beach stop wherever the mood takes you.
- Galle Fort's UNESCO-listed ramparts and lighthouse
- Kosgoda turtle hatcheries on the coast-road option
- Madu River boat safari near Balapitiya
- Bentota beach and river mouth
- Kalutara Bodhiya rising above the Kalu Ganga
