Deshan was our driver and guide on the Galle Full Day Tour we took May 6, 2023 and Deshan was fantastic in his driving ability and knowledge of sites and history; I strongly recommend him. I chose this port tour because it seem so unique compared to mosque and temple destinations and it didn’t disappoint. The Galle stilt fisherman were exactly how I imagined them, so exotic and friendly. The turtle hatchery was incredible to see hundreds of baby turtles swimming around in large vats, waiting to be released back to the ocean. Lastly we saw a private woman’s memorial to the 2004 tsunami victims with photos, descriptions of the devastation from the 80 ft wave, and her moving words about the tragic loss of all the people. I have traveled the world and this is one of the BEST excursions we have taken—one of the great memories of my life. This is in large part due to Deshan, our guide. And lastly he returned us to the ship in time to watch the live coronation of Charles III. What an experience!
Fabulous Galle tour
