Our overnight adventure tour to Gal Oya National Park was an incredible experience from start to finish. The all-inclusive package ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable and immersive journey into nature. Exploring the park's diverse wildlife and landscapes, including boat safaris on Senanayake Samudraya Lake, was exhilarating.
