- Learn to Water Ski: Take pleasure in the sensation of the water beneath your feet and the wind in your hair. This beach is the perfect spot for a trip to go water skiing without taking any risks. The gorgeous water expanses become an addiction for adrenaline junkies because of the lack of significant stones and the challenging terrain.

Everyone should make the most of their opportunities.
- Banana Boat & Tube Rides: As their names suggest, banana boats and tube rides are tubes that are rope-attached to a speed boat and have a banana-like shape. The journey should be exciting, complete with enormous waves that break over your head. Bentota visitors have the choice of single-ring rides or couch rides, both of which are appropriate for visitors of any age.

More water activities are available for your enjoyment. At Galle, our next stop, we’ll tour the renowned Galle Fort, which is located on Galle Cove. The Portuguese built it in 1588, and the Dutch renovated it starting in 1649. It still emanates elegance and is today recognized as a major piece of architectural history despite being more than 432 years old. Our next trip will be to the Sea Turtle Hatchery Farm in Galle, which aims to increase the baby turtles’ robustness. You’ll be given a tour of the place by a guide that starts at the entrance. You might take a boat tour on the lovely Madu River close to Balapitiya town the next evening. The neighboring creek creates a number of islands, and the area’s biological system also results in a gorgeous wetland. It is the conclusion of the day, so you will be transported back to the hotel for the night.
Day 3 – Colombo to Airport Drop Off
On the third day, you’ll go to Colombo to see the city before your flight out of Sri Lanka. We will first visit Gangaramaya Temple after breakfast. The Gangaramaya Temple, one of Colombo’s most important temples, mixes traditional and contemporary design features. It is located on the Beira Lake and was completed in the late 19th century. In the heart of Colombo, Sri Lanka, is where you can find the Beira Lake. It used to encompass a little more than 1.65 km2 (0.64 sq mi) of land, but because of various circumstances, it has subsequently shrunk to just 0.65 km2 (0.25 sq mi) now. The lake fulfilled a number of functions during the Portuguese, Dutch, and English colonial periods. It continues to go by its Portuguese name. It is connected to a variety of complicated canals, which facilitate moving products easily around the city and suburbs.
After that, we’ll head for the Galle Face. Galle Face is a 500 m (1,600 ft) long urban park in the center of Colombo that covers 5 hectares (12 acres). Despite the fact that the ancient Galle Face Green encompassed a far bigger area than what is now visible, Governor Sir Henry George Ward created the promenade in 1859. The Independence Memorial Hall, also known as the Independence Commemoration Hall, is a national memorial in Sri Lanka that was built to honor the day on February 4, 1948, when a Ceylonese-elected legislature reclaimed total authority of the nation. It is located in Colombo’s Cinnamon Gardens near Independence Square, often referred to as Torrington Square. They also hold the Independence Memorial Museum. The Old Colombo Dutch Hospital, commonly referred to as The Dutch Hospital, was constructed in Sri Lanka during the Dutch colonial era and is said to be the oldest structure in the Colombo Fort neighborhood. It is a historical structure that is now a retail and dining destination. You may get some food and buy souvenirs here. Your voyage with The Sri Lanka Tours is now over, and, in accordance with your wishes, your respectful guide will drop you off at the airport or in Colombo.
