REVIEWS
Whale Watching and Galle Visit – Great Day and Great Value!
We had an amazing trip with Tony Sri Lanka Tours! Tony picked us up at 5 am and took us to Mirissa, where we had fantastic front-row seats for whale watching. We saw Blue Whales and Spinner Dolphins up close. On the way back, Tony also took us to Galle to see the Fort, Stick fishermen, and the Good Karma Hospital house a great bonus! It was a wonderful day, great value, and we’re so grateful to Tony for making it all happen!
