      Operated and maintained by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority, the Colombo Lighthouse is located along the South of the Port of Colombo. The current structure was built in 1952 and opened by the first Prime Minister of Ceylon. The Lighthouse is built on a concrete base which is 12 metres high and consists of 4 statues of lions at its base. Also around the base of the lighthouse is a naval gun battery which is used by the Sri Lanka Navy for traditional gun salutes as of date. The total height of the Lighthouse is 29 meters while its characteristics include three white flashes every ten seconds.

      10 minutes here

    5. Galle Face Green

      The Galle Face Green, which is immediately south of Fort, is a long, thin park facing the Indian Ocean which fills up with food stalls and locals on weekday and weekend evenings as it is a popular meeting place to relax. A narrow arm of Beira Lake separates this district from Slave Island, a peninsula where the Dutch imprisoned slaves from their Asian colonies. Galle Road, Colombo’s long seafront boulevard runs south from Galle Face Green, eventually becoming the main coastal road to Galle and the Deep South. It’s always crowded with traffic and short on charm, but as the city’s main thoroughfare it also has some of the best shopping malls and a number of important buildings, including the official residence of Sri Lanka’s premier, the US Embassy, the British High Commission and some of the city’s top five star hotels.

    Colombo by night bike ride

    Ashan was a great host. He shared a wealth of knowledge and personal experiences of Colombo that gave us insights into life in Colombo. It was a safe ride through the city with a well planned route and points of interest. There was a back up vehicle at all times and was handy when one of us tired out. He went above and beyond to ensure he accommodated our interests and needs. Combined with his passion for his home town and love for tourism, it was an absolutely fascinating experience. A must-do on your first arrival to Colombo.

    Response from the operator: (J35807U03) Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience and our service. We are thrilled to hear the lasting impression the experience has left on you, Your wonderful comments and positive feedback are a great incentive for us to further ensure and enhance our level of service for the future as well. We hope to have you again here in Sri Lanka.

    Excellent Tour of Colombo

    This was a great way to see the city in all its splendour. By doing the cycling tour you are out on the streets where it all happens but you can cover a lot of ground and therefore you see far more than walking or in a tuk-tuk.. My Tour guide Nalinda was excellent in that he made me feel safe at all times and he issues you with all the cycling safety equipment.I got to see parts of the city, that I am sure many tourists don't experience, including eating Crab on the beach. I highly recommend this tour, which is all on the flat and ideal for cyclists of all abilities and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the experience.

    Great way to beat the traffic and see lots of places in one tour

    We had an excellent night bike riding tour. Guide was exceptional careful with safety. At all times it was explained to us what was happening and what to expect on the road. The places we visited were interesting and our guides knowledge was outstanding. The tour did run a little over time - but that was because it was jammed packed with information. Highly recommended.

    Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colombo.

    How much does Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Colombo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Colombo is not rushed.

    Is Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Colombo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Colombo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Colombo and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Colombo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Colombo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Colombo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flexi dates on all 5 to 7 days packages for car and English speaking driver, Sri Lanka Personal Tour Driver in private vehicle, Private Multi Day Sri Lanka Tour with Chauffeur. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Colombo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Colombo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo?

    +

    Included: Back-up vehicle and spare bicycles available during the tour in case of emergency; All guests will be provided with helmets, safety glasses, and reflective jackets as safety; Tour escort/host; and Light snacks and refreshments. Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Food and drinks, unless specified. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 68 listed pickup locations in and around Colombo. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Luxury Night Cycle Tour of Colombo if the weather is bad?

    +
