This Tour Overview
From Mountain Summits to Ocean Swells
This 6-day itinerary begins with a scenic train ride into the misty hills of Ella, where sunrise hikes, zip-lining, and the iconic Nine Arches Bridge set the pace for adventure. From there the journey turns coastal, trading mountain trails for turquoise water.
In Mirissa you'll snorkel over coral reefs and, seasonally, watch for blue whales and dolphins, before exploring the cobblestone streets of UNESCO-listed Galle Fort and unwinding on the golden sands of Bentota. A short Colombo city tour rounds off the trip before departure.
