The very farthest from Beruwella (- in Sri Lanka there is a beautiful Royal Botanical Garden, a cave temple in Dambulla is remembered, a special adventure is climbing Mount Sigiriya, Kandy and the Temple of the Tooth Relic, there are national stunning waterfalls nearby, you can go on a sea trip " The path of dolphins and whales", the trip often takes place in the south of the island, the Sinharaja forest may be of interest, but for you the closest and most accessible is a river safari on the Bentota River, a turtle farm in Kosgoda, visit the National Museum in Colombo, Galle Fort

from Beruwala to Sinharaj is a long journey, so it's hardly worth going there on a 6-day tour.
From Beruvella it is reasonable to get out in a complex way to the Galle fort, on the way - to the mask museum in Ambalangoda to look, on the way back from Galle take a safari on Madu Ganga for 1.5-2 hours (magically), then - to meet the turtles in the Viktor Hasselblad nursery in Kosgod. So there will be a lot of well-organized and diverse experiences. Time for the whole voyage: ~ 7-8 hours, slowly, with pleasure. With tea on the ancient terraces of Galea, a visit to the unique staircase and a collection of coats of arms in batik technique at the Jetwing Lighthouse Hotel and lunch before a boat trip in Balapitiyi.
The route is checked, the timing is too.
The level of impressions, of course, depends on the skill and erudition of the guide (but they seem to be by default :)

Also, I would like to know about:
1) Boat trip to the habitat of dolphins and whales.
2) Sea fishing
Has anyone gone fishing? where, how long does it take and how much does it cost?
Is it really worth it to take these tours?
(I love dolphins, and my husband faints from the word "fishing" :) :) :)

you shouldn’t combine fishing and dolphins with whales))), because you need to follow the whales, and stop and wait for fishing))), I was on these two trips, so I don’t recommend fishing, although maybe I was unlucky to catch something , while others are lucky, but I saw whales and dolphins, even close, not very far - I recommend)

If you have a tour booked through a t / agency, the manager MUST know the cost of excursions, because each of the host companies has its own nuances.
And general information about prices for food, drinks, souvenirs is in abundance HERE at the Forum. These are routine questions)) It seems that when selling tickets for inexpensive, managers do not "tire" customers too much with information :)

I am not a manager, I had a rest in Sri Lanka and have been in this country several times on business. My first trip was through CONNICENS, which did not take me on a boat trip and did not offer to see dolphins and whales, they offered a standard package for several days: first around the island, and then a hotel. I live in Moscow, I consider Connisance a reliable operator and, they did not let me down in the Maldives and on other trips, I advise. The trip was organized by Sri Lankan businessmen, with whom I collaborated, but I know that in Sri Lanka such a trip cost $ 100 per person - a foreigner. But there are many opportunities for fishing - this is with the host, and from the hotel you can negotiate through managers and with locals - they have a whole business on the coast there. Lanka-Lanochka answered you, in my opinion she works in some kind of travel agency, she knows in more detail, so she will answer this question in more detail. Have a good trip. I can give a mobile of a good Sri Lankan driver who does not drink at all, if you are interested - write in a personal

so far we have not been notified of anything :( we are still waiting for tickets, etc.
but as I read about the reviews, it’s better not to order excursions from our guides, because they don’t care and it turns out that it’s expensive, it’s better to go bargaining yourself ... :) but to what extent ???

It’s risky to take a trip very cheaply, and get the appropriate attitude and quality, first find out the cost from the travel agency, and then, knowing the prices, bargain for trips and travel, really save%% 30 40, agree with the local guide and driver from the travel agency, they in their free time, they will be taken for the same money, although it is better to cooperate with someone and take a minivan for a group, since the payment is for a car, and for a larger group, the costs are cheaper. Bargain at the same limit for clothes and other purchases not in supermarkets where there are no price tags, although intuition works here, and they are really good in quality, for example, jewelry will not be sold cheaply. minivan owners or drivers rarely agree to get cheaper, in order to really save money you can get on local shuttle cars, but the trains are shocking - I did not risk getting on the train.

A combined tour helps to avoid "experiments" during excursions, where the guide and t / operator are responsible for the quality of services.
PS As for "bargaining" with the owners of cars, who usually stand at hotels, for a trip on excursions, they already have established prices. At the beginning of a conversation, they are often overestimated, but it is possible to agree on quite realistic prices, for example, by meeting in a mini-group.
Tour for the whole day on the route Galle - Madu Ganga, we came out at 60 dollars / person, incl. a walk along the river and entrance tickets in turtles. nursery. True, tours of the fort and so on. I drove myself. The minibus was brand new, the driver was helpful, there were many impressions.
