  • Galle - Our excursion commences at 8:30 am for the Morning Departure or at 2:30 pm for the Afternoon Departure. Upon arrival at the tour operator’s residence, you will receive a warm welcome and an overview of the tour, along with complimentary bottled water, helmets, and a selection of city or mountain bikes to suit your stature.

Following a concise orientation, you embark on the journey with our adept English-speaking local guide, who will lead you initially along narrow unpaved paths through a quaint local village, towards the lagoon and mangrove habitats. Feel free to inquire with your guide about the flora, fauna, cultural aspects, or any other facets of this nation.

The tour showcases the rich ecological tapestry of Sri Lanka, including mangrove woodlands, tropical palms, ferns, and an abundance of coconut trees. You’ll traverse verdant paddy fields, which are integral to the livelihoods of the southern Sri Lankan populace. After meandering around the lagoon, a brief stint on the main thoroughfare followed by a pause to savor a revitalizing king coconut marks the near end of your adventure before returning to the starting point.
