Chaithya Rd, Colombo 00100, Sri Lanka The current 29-metre-high (95 ft) lighthouse was built in 1952 after the Old Colombo Lighthouse was deactivated when its light became obscured by nearby buildings as part of the Colombo Harbor Expansion project. It was opened by Rt Hon D.S. Senanayake, the first prime minister of Ceylon. Built on a concrete base which is 12 m (39 ft) high, it has four statues of lions at its base.
Due to the panoramic view of the Indian Ocean it offered, it became a city landmark. With the escalation of the Sri Lankan Civil War, public access to the site was restricted. This was due to its placement in a high-security zone as it is across the street from the Naval Headquarters and close proximity of the Port of Colombo. 10 minutes

We saw the Shore Excursion Tour through Viator and booked with Kingfisher.
They are before one hour of Ship Docking time and we are so happy with our guide Aswar who is very friendly and trying to help us in every way,
Aswar showed and guided us explaining every places in Colombo. We extended our Tour for another two hours and started our shopping at Gem Museum, Tea Shop and Souvenirs Shop.
Kingfisher Tours are doing a great job with all their perfect well planned Itineraries and Professional Guide

Kingfisher Tours gave us an excellent tour of all the highlights of Colombo. This was our first time in Sri Lanka’s port city and we opted for a private tour. We were not disappointed. Our guide was great and very accommodating as we tend to walk a bit slower (we are in our 70s). Our guide took pictures of us a various locations as well. We highly recommend Kingfisher Tours Sri Lanka.
