Sri Lanka Southern Coast Tour Of 7 Days

Day 1: Negombo - Galle
Leave the airport and head off towards the down south. Distances in between locations in Sri Lanka are not that long far but the time taken by road to reach a destination an experience. The 146km drive from the Colombo airport takes you through the city centre of Colombo, the coastal city of Mount Lavinia and the resort towns of Wadduwa, Kalutara, Beruwela, Bentota, Kosgoda, Ambalangoda, Hikkadduwa and finally Galle. Overnight stay at hotel.
Day 2: Galle - Mirissa
Be at leisure or go for Dolphin & Whale Watching boat ride in the sea off Mirrissa (Dondara) located just 40 minutes’ drive from your hotel. The most enjoyable way to experience the Galle Fort is by walking. A leisurely walk leads past the old Dutch Church, the Governor’s house, the spice warehouses, Court Square, the Kacheri (town hall), the lighthouse and on to the sea wall and ramparts. Visit the mosque and meander down streets leading to cricket fields, the temple, and the old District Judge’s house surrounded by ancient frangipani trees. 
Day 3 & 4 : Tangalle
After breakfast leave for Tangalle , a fishing town with one long beach that is popular as a breeding ground for giant sea turtles. Tangalle seems set to become the most exclusive of the beaches along the south coast, and offers a chance to scuba dive around the coral reef protecting its 4 km of sandy beach, and to explore a couple of wrecks. When you eventually arrive in Tangalle you will check into your hotel for two nights stay. You could also visit the Rekawa Turtle Conservation project is located 10 kilometres east of Tangalle and is home to one of the most important sea turtle nesting sites in Sri Lanka. 
Day 5: Yala
Late afternoon you will be leaving Tangalle and reach Yala National park. Located two hours north-east of Tangalle, Yala National Park is Sri Lanka’s most visited wildlife reserve. Guests travel through the park accompanied by a park tracker. The park’s wildlife has its own distinctive charm, with huddles of colorful painted storks, crocodiles, fantailed peacocks, and chattering monkeys in the treetop. The park’s most famous residents, however, are its elusive leopards. Overnight in Yala.
Day 6: Hambantota/ Bundala/ Colombo
After breakfast go around and see the Hambantota town or head towards nearby Bundala Bird sanctuary for a photo safari, on completion drive back to Colombo. Check in at hotel in Colombo.
Day 7: Colombo
