Sunset Tours

The west and south coasts face the setting sun, and a short evening trip can be the best hour of your day. Popular choices include the ramparts at Galle, a quiet headland or a seafront promenade in Colombo.

We plan the timing so you arrive with light to spare and drive you home afterwards. Ask for a dinner stop on the way back if you like.
