Day 1–2: Embracing Coastal Bliss in Dickwella

Morning Adventure at the Hummanaya Blowhole

Start your day with an extraordinary natural wonder—Hummanaya Blowhole. As you stand on the cliffs, waiting for the next spray of water to burst 25 meters into the sky, you’ll feel the excitement build with every wave. It’s nature’s performance art, and you’ve got front-row seats.

Afternoons at Hiriketiya Beachbea

No trip to Dickwella is complete without a visit to Hiriketiya Beach. This crescent-shaped bay is a haven for surfers and beach lovers alike. Grab a fresh coconut from a local vendor and let the gentle waves lull you into complete relaxation. Feeling adventurous? Rent a surfboard and ride the playful waves—it’s beginner-friendly and oh-so-fun.

Evenings of Sunset Magic

Dickwella Beach is your ultimate spot for sunsets. Picture this: the sun dipping into the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues of orange and pink. Walk barefoot along the soft sand, letting the day’s warmth linger as you sip on a tropical cocktail from a beachfront cafe.

Day 3–4: History and Beauty in Galle

Mornings Exploring Galle Fort

Welcome to Galle Fort, where every corner whispers tales of history. Wander through cobblestone streets lined with Dutch colonial buildings, charming cafes, and boutique shops. Make your way to the iconic Galle Lighthouse, a postcard-perfect spot where the ocean breeze carries the scent of adventure.

An Afternoon Tea Experience

For something truly unique, visit the Handunugoda Tea Estate, where you’ll learn about Sri Lanka’s tea heritage and even sample virgin white tea—one of the rarest teas in the world. It’s an experience that’s as calming as the tea itself.

Beaches to Remember

In the afternoon, head to Unawatuna Beach, known for its golden sands and vibrant energy. If you’re craving something quieter, make your way to Jungle Beach, a hidden paradise surrounded by lush greenery. The turquoise waters and peaceful ambiance make it feel like your own private escape.

Sunset Splendor

For a sunset that will stay with you forever, find a cozy spot at the fort’s ramparts. Watching the sun set over the Indian Ocean, with the ancient walls glowing in the golden light, is nothing short of magical.
