• Marine Turtle Hatchery - In 1981 the Wildlife Protection Society established the famous Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery to protect Sri Lanka's turtles from extinction. Fishermen walk along the sandy beaches at night and collect the turtle eggs. Initially, they were then sold to who ever would pay the highest price. Once the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery opened, the hatchery began paying the fisherman for the eggs. Visitors of the hatchery can see the huge tanks filled with new born turtles. The baby turtles are fed and cared for until they are 2-4 years old. They are then taken to the sea and released during the safer hours of darkness. The main laying season is from October to April, but some eggs can be found at Kosgoda throughout the year.

• Lunuganga Estate - The land in which the Lunuganga estate resides now has a long beautiful history. It was a Dutch cinnamon garden and then a British rubber estate. The area around Lunuganga is the wettest and most fertile region of the island. To the east of the estate, lies the mysterious Sinharaja Forest, which is the last surviving primeval rain forest in the country. The estate itself sits beside two low hills along the Dedduwa Lake, and as you look further down you can see the Indian Ocean splash over coral reefs. As you breathe in the fresh air, you get a feeling of complete peace.
