Private Transfer from Colombo to Galle

The fastest route to Sri Lanka's colonial jewel. The Southern Expressway whisks you from Colombo to Galle Fort in just 2 hours—a journey that once took half a day. Alternatively, the old coastal road (3+ hours) offers palm-fringed beaches, turtle hatcheries, and fishing villages for those with time to spare. Either way, arrival at Galle Fort is magical: 17th-century Dutch ramparts, boutique cafes, and sunset ocean views. The UNESCO World Heritage fortress is Sri Lanka's most atmospheric destination.
