Colombo City by Tuk-Tuk

Enjoy a Ride Past Colonial Treasures Journey through the streets of Colombo in a three-wheeled tuk-tuk as you take in the sights of Sri Lanka’s capital. Take a break from modern transportation as you board your tuk-tuk and watch your skilled driver weave through traffic.

Pause to explore on foot as you stroll through Victoria Gardens from the Town Hall to Independence Square, built to commemorate Sri Lankan independence in 1948. After your tuk-tuk ride, a motor coach will transfer you the short distance back to your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
