Galle Dutch Fort
Galle Fort , in the Bay of Galle on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, was built first in 1588 by the Portuguese, then extensively fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century from 1649 onwards. It is a historical, archaeological and architectural heritage monument, which even after more than 432 years maintains a polished appearance, due to extensive reconstruction work done by Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka. The fort has a colourful history, and today has a multi-ethnic and multi-religious population. The Sri Lankan government and many Dutch people who still own some of the properties inside the fort are looking at making this one of the modern wonders of the world.The heritage value of the fort has been recognized by the UNESCO and the site has been inscribed as a cultural heritage UNESCO World Heritage Site under criteria iv, for its unique exposition of "an urban ensemble which illustrates the interaction of European architecture and South Asian traditions from the 16th to the 19th centuries."
Jungle Beach
The Jungle beach is located between Galle and Unawatuna. This place is less known to tourists and is thus less crowded which makes it appealing for the people visiting this place. This beach is basically special for its location since it lies close to the jungle. The clean and sandy beach provides a panoramic view of the city of Galle and a perfect place to watch the sunsets. You can also go to this place on foot which is a through a very beautiful trail which is clearly marked. The place is also accessible through boats and is a different experience altogether. The beach has several beds and places to lie down and relax. The place also has decent restaurants which serve excellent food. The jungle beach is the perfect place for snorkeling where you can see some colorful fishes. The equipment and gear required for snorkeling is available on rent and can be obtained easily. The jungle beach is a peaceful and quite little beach, which is great for swimming!

We had such a fun Galle day tour with our family honestly, one of the coolest days of our trip! The whole ride was super chill and comfy, and our driver was really friendly and easygoing, which made everything even better. We started with a visit to a turtle farm, which was actually so cute and interesting, especially seeing the baby turtles. Then we stopped at a spicy garden where we learned about Sri Lankan spices — it smelled amazing and was pretty cool to see how everything grows. One of the best parts was the boat ride on Madu Ganga cruising through the mangroves felt so peaceful and different. After that, we explored Galle Fort and visited the iconic Galle Lighthouse. We also chilled at Jungle Beach, which was such a vibe clear water, calm waves, and perfect for relaxing. Overall, the day was fun, relaxing, and full of amazing spots. Definitely recommend it for families!

This was my first visit to Sri Lanka, and even though my time was limited, I’m truly glad I included this tour in my itinerary. Kavi, our tour guide, is extremely responsible, knowledgeable, and courteous. He was attentive to my needs throughout the trip and made sure everything ran smoothly. I enjoyed every stop on the tour, with the turtle hatchery and conservation center being my favorite. Many thanks to Kavi for choosing the best spots at each location. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Sri Lanka
