Two dive coasts, historic Galle wrecks and a living fort on one southwest Sri Lanka trip
Accommodation listings are not available for this destination yet. Use the local planning notes to choose your base.
International visitors generally arrive via Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), then continue by prearranged car or via the Colombo coast-line rail network. The approved circuit consists of Galle, Unawatuna and Hikkaduwa only. Galle is a useful heritage base, Unawatuna is convenient for Divinguru's seasonal local operation, and Hikkaduwa suits its own reef and wreck departures. Sri Lanka Railways officially lists all three stations, but not every service stops everywhere. Verify train running, road traffic and dive-center pickup before making a tight connection.

Use the Sri Lanka Railways Coast Line for town-to-town connections where your train actually stops, and a prearranged car, taxi or tuk-tuk for station-to-beach, hill and dive-center transfers. The Galle Fort area can be explored on foot.
