South Coast Turtle Conservation & Day Tour
A real 6-stop private day tour that includes a sea turtle conservation visit (Ahungalla, next to Kosgoda) alongside Galle Fort, stilt fishermen, a moonstone mine, a lake safari, and a tea estate — not a standalone hatchery visit.
What's Included
- Private group tour with hotel pickup (Colombo, Kalutara, Negombo, or Galle)
- Ahungalla Sea Turtle Conservation Project
- Koggala Lake Safari with Cinnamon Island & Kothduwa Temple
- Meetiyagoda Moonstone Mine
- Galle Dutch Fort (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
- Stilt Fishermen of Koggala
- Handunugoda Tea Estate (Virgin White Tea)
- 6–10 hours, English-speaking driver-guide
What to Expect
This is a real, multi-stop South Coast highlights tour rather than a dedicated turtle hatchery visit — the turtle conservation stop (in Ahungalla, right next to Kosgoda on the same stretch of coast) is one of six real stops along the way. It works well if you'd rather see several South Coast highlights in one organised day than book each one separately, especially if Galle Fort is already on your list. The itinerary is reportedly customisable, so confirm the exact stop order and timing on the listing page before booking.

Real Project, Not a Zoo
The turtle stop's purpose is protecting eggs and hatchlings from poaching — go in expecting a conservation visit, not a pure photo stop.
Your Own Group, Own Schedule
This is a private group tour, not a shared departure — pickup from Colombo, Kalutara, Negombo, or Galle.
Already Includes Galle Fort & Stilt Fishermen
This same real tour is also the one listed on our Stilt Fishermen page — book once if you want both stops, not twice.
