DAY 9 YALA – GALLE Enjoy the breakfast laid for you before we cruise through the south coast. But before we have another unique experience lined up for you to witness. Curd, a local delicacy enjoyed by many, but it is interesting to see how this is actually produced. Head to a curd makers home to witness the curd making process. You can closely examine how the different stages progress from the female buffaloes being milked, followed by straining, boiling and curing. The entire visit would not be complete if you do not have the opportunity to taste the curd, therefore pour some treacle and enjoy a fresh cup of this local delicacy! Witness the uncommon practice of fishing on a stick! This is no ordinary fishing technique, there might be several methods of catching a fish but this one is mind-boggling. Stilt Fishing is an old tradition practiced by fishing families in south-western-most Sri Lanka. Arriving in Galle check-in to the hotel, and towards evening head to the Galle Dutch Fort to end the day with unforgettable views. The Galle Dutch fort, a world heritage site. Marvel in the massive stone fort which the history roots run deep to the period of the sixteenth century and then has come to its present structure by the developments made by the Portuguese, Dutch and the British. You can head up to the rampart and walk along gazing at the clear blue Indian Ocean, and this is an ideal photo location as well! Learn about the interesting details as you walk along the narrow streets of the fort. DAY 10 GALLE – MIRISSA Rise up early and prepare for an amazing experience in the middle of the ocean. Transfer to Mirissa and board the boat. The crew will set sail early to peacefully reach the magnificent cetaceans as they emerge to delight you! Enjoy some refreshments on board. Tread in to the deep blue Indian Ocean in search of these wonderful species. Sri Lanka has recorded sightings of the blue whale, known to be the largest animal in the world alive at the moment, the sperm whale and other whale species which are more rarely spotted. You would also have the opportunity to witness mischievous dolphins swimming alongside the boat and cruising with you in the water.
