This is a lovely way to spend 3 hours seeing village life around the east side of Galle. It's at a gentle pace, with plenty of stopping and photo opportunities of the villagers.
Chameera picks you up from your hotel in his tuk tuk and takes you back to his house to collect the bikes and start the tour.
We choose the lagoon tour. This takes you down back lanes, along a lagoon, and through a village two.
I think the locals know him well, as they happily pop up when he's in sight, and do their bit.
You should see :
1. A fisherman wading through a river, bottom picking clams and oysters
2. A widow of the tsunami demonstrating how to net for prawns.
3. A cottage industry husking coconuts and turning then into string. Run by the traditional village folk, most of who seem to be in their 70s. It's a fading industry
4. A temple.
Summary - it's a gentle, pleasant way to spend 3 hours. All bikes and equipment are provided.
Cost per person is Rp2000. Small kids are half price.
