Sri Lanka: Gal Oya National Park Overnight Tour

Take an adventurous trip to the Gal Oya National Park on this overnight tour. Experience Sri Lanka’s wildlife highlights via both jeep and boat and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime stay at the Oya Lodge with all meals included.

The adventure starts with a pickup from your accommodation. You’ll be driven to Gal Oya Lodge, to check in to one of the inviting wooden eco bungalows.

After enjoying lunch at the lodge’s main restaurant, embark on a jeep safari to explore the richness of Gal Oya’s wildlife. This national park is a sanctuary to 32 species of terrestrial mammals, including the langur, toque macaque, leopards, sloth bears, elephants, water buffalo, and more.

If you’re feeling more intrepid, the safari can continue on foot. Hike through the park with our expert naturalists to explore hidden corners of the park and see the wildlife up close.

After the first adventure, arrive back at the lodge to refresh before dinner at the lodge. The next day, following a delicious breakfast, start your exciting morning boat safari.

Enjoy the only opportunity in Sri Lanka which allows you to spot wildlife from the water: a unique way to immerse yourself in the animals’ habitats. With a little luck, you might even spot elephants swimming between islands or bathing at the lake’s edge on this 2-3 hour trip. 

Finally, arrive back at your lodge before being driven back to your accommodation.
