Moonstone Mine Tour

Sri Lanka is a major producer of moonstones – and one of the largest mines is located in nearby Meetiyagoda – only 30 minutes away. Legend says that this area was blessed by the moon – and that is why these beautiful semi precious and mystical gems can be uneathed here. Enjoy a fascinating tour walking through a mine and then take the opportunity to purchase your own moonstones.

Whale and Dolphin Watching

The seas around Sri Lanka offer unique opportunities to view dolphins and whales in concentrations rarely seen elsewhere in the world. With a shared or private boat, our team can organise this special morning trip upon request.

This is a half day excursion, with an early start to drive to Mirissa (1 ½ hours away), as the best viewing times are in the morning.

Galle Fort

Less than an hour away, this living monument, with a diverse heritage spanning more than 400 years, is a must visit. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, wander the lanes and discover historical and architectural treasures from Portuguese, Dutch and British times. Home today to an ethnically diverse community, the fort is a delight for shopping and dining. Come evening, join a game of cricket with the locals, or watch the sun set over the sea from the ramparts.
