Best Tour from Hambantota Port! - We were on a cruise and booked this tour from Hambantota Port. It was the best decision! Everything was well-organized, and the transportation was comfortable. The stops were all incredible—seeing baby turtles at the hatchery was so special, and the boat safari was peaceful and exciting at the same time. Galle Fort had a wonderful mix of culture and history. The guide was excellent, answering all our questions and making sure we had plenty of time at each stop. A five-star experience all the way!

Incredible Wildlife and Cultural Experience - If you love nature, history, and adventure, this tour is for you! We saw so many sea turtles at the hatchery, and the conservation work being done there is inspiring. The Koggala Boat Safari was another highlight—we glided through mangroves and saw birds, monitor lizards, and even a few monkeys. Galle Fort was rich with history, and walking along the old walls felt like stepping back in time. The guide was amazing, making sure we were comfortable and informed throughout the tour. Highly recommend this experience!
