    Visited when MV Logos Hope was anchored there, the ship operated by the German Christian charitable organization housing a mobile bookstore on board. It was very crowded then but enjoyed the visit.

    Galle Harbour is a natural harbour, located in Galle, on the south-western coast of Sri Lanka. Currently Galle port serves as one of the most active regional ports in the country. It is also the only Sri Lankan port that provides facilities for pleasure yachts. International yacht societies have recognised Galle Harbour as one of the world's best attractions for yachting. Galle Harbour was one of the major harbours in the country since ancient times - even before the arrival of European colonists! It would continue to be the island's most important port until the construction of an artificial harbour in Colombo in 1873. One of the major reasons for the harbour's popularity, particularly during colonial times, was the presence of the Galle Fort.

    Visited the Galle Harbour to see Whales and Dolphins which is managed by Sri Lanka Navy and it was a great experience to see the depth or sea but was not very lucky to see a lot of Whales. It was a passenger ship which can occupy 300 people with 24 vip area seats , overall it was a really good experience…
