Step into the soul of Southern Sri Lanka. Every moment-whether by river, sea, or sanctuary-invites you to connect, discover, and belong. We have curated a set of intimate experiences for those who seek connection with mother nature and appreciate the gentle warmth of genuine Sri lankan hospitality.

Tuk tuk on the beach

Tuk-tuk ride to a secluded beach picnic

As the morning heat starts to build, we're in for a special treat. Pack your sunglasses and the tub of sunscreen for a bumpy ride to the beach on tuk tuk. 

Enjoy the gourmet picnic basket we have prepared especially for your tastebuds and combined with a few chilled beers and ice tea. Imagine munching on delicious local delicacies with the sound of waves in your ears and the taste of salt on your lips. It's the perfect intermission!

Turtle Sanctuary at Dawn. Walk the Shore where life Begins..

Get ready for an aww-inducing experience as you help release baby turtles into the ocean. These tiny creatures, no bigger than the palm of your hand, will captivate your heart as they make their wobbly way towards the waves. It's a poignant reminder of the delicate balance of nature and the importance of preservation efforts.!
Boat ride on the river surrounded by lush trees

Madu River Safari. Mangroves, Crocodiles & a Secret Cinnamon Island.

Glide through emerald mangroves as the river reveals its quiet wonders—kingfishers darting, water monitors sunning, and the gentle hush of nature all around. 

Drift towards a hidden cinnamon island, where local hands share the art of spice and tradition. Here, every bend is a new story, and every ripple connects you to the wild, unhurried rhythm of Southern Sri Lanka.

Explore local markets, Fresh Fruits & a Sri Lankan Cooking Class

Begin your morning wandering vibrant village markets, baskets brimming with locally sourced fruits, colourful veggies and fragrant herbs. 

Meet local vendors, discover the colours and flavours of the island, then return to Legacy’s kitchen. 

Here, guided by a local cook, you’ll craft traditional Sri Lankan dishes—each bite a celebration of heritage, hospitality, and the joy of cooking together.
