The shape of the trip
Day by day.
One fort, two bays, and a rule we don’t break: no more than ninety minutes in the car on any day. Whales in the morning if it’s the season, a book in the afternoon, and a different seafood shack every night.
- Days 1–2
Galle
Inside the fort walls, with a morning walk along the ramparts and an afternoon in the Dutch Reformed Church and the maritime museum.
- Days 3–4
Mirissa
An early boat if the sea is kind, then a slow lunch and a long beach. Koggala’s stilt fishermen on the way.
- Days 5–7
Tangalle
The quiet end of the coast. A cookery class, a lagoon boat trip, and a last day with no plans beyond dinner.
What we’d want you to see
- Galle Fort before the day-trippers
- Whale watching off Mirissa
- A private cookery class in a village home
