About this trip
Seven days sailing down Sri Lanka's south coast, mixing time on the water with proper time on land. It's a slow, steady way to see the coastline — you're not rushing between sights, you're sailing to them.
You'll stop at the old trading fort of Galle, drop anchor near remote beach towns, and pull into the fishing village of Kudawella. When you've had enough of the boat, there's swimming, surfing, and beach time built in.
This suits people who want culture and coastline without a packed itinerary — a fair bit of the trip is simply being on the water or by it.
