Pilgrimage Tours
A Vibedu venture
A UNESCO Dutch fort where cobbled lanes meet the shimmering south coast.
Galle is the jewel of Sri Lanka's south coast, a walled colonial town where cobbled streets, boutique cafes and a lighthouse sit inside a 17th-century Dutch fort. Beyond the ramparts stretch some of the island's finest beaches, from Unawatuna's curving bay to the surf breaks of Weligama. It is an easy, scenic drive from Colombo along the coastal highway. Holiday Vibez pairs Galle's history with south-coast beach time for a relaxed close to your island tour.
Drive south along the coastal highway, arriving at Galle by afternoon. Sunset walk on the fort ramparts.
Explore the Dutch Fort, its museums, galleries and the historic lighthouse at your own pace.
Relax at Unawatuna, with time for swimming, snorkelling or a boat trip.
Visit the stilt fishermen and Japanese Peace Pagoda, then enjoy a seafood lunch.
Drive back to Colombo for your onward flight, stopping at a beach town along the way.

Galle offers a rare mix of history and beach in one place — a beautifully preserved Dutch fort ringed by the ocean, with golden bays just minutes away. It is one of the most atmospheric towns in South Asia and a highlight of any south-coast trip.
Inside and around the fort you'll find:
Galle is a comfortable two to two-and-a-half-hour drive from Colombo along the southern coastal highway. Most visitors travel by private car and driver, stopping at beach towns en route.
As a south-coast town, Galle is at its best December to March when the sea is calm and skies are clear — ideal for beaches and fort walks. This is also whale-watching season along the south coast.
Indian passport holders need an online ETA before arrival. It is usually quick to obtain, and Holiday Vibez assists you with the process.
Explore the fort on foot in the cooler morning or evening. Carry water, sun protection and modest cover for any temple visits. Fresh seafood and Ceylon tea are the local treats to seek out.
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
