Overview
Get ready for your next trip with us to a country full of sunny beaches, ancient temples, friendly elephants, and tasty food. Welcome to Sri Lanka. We do not say this as a travel agency; we are saying this with experience, and we have helped hundreds of visitors fall in love with this small island of so much beauty. You will love the Sri Lanka tours! The welcoming people, spicy smells, and colorful landscapes make the anticipation worthwhile! You will land in a busy Colombo with beautiful markets and trendy cafes, then head to Kandy, where you will experience culture at every turn. And last, but not least, you will land in Galle, with its old-world colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and crashing surf against the fort...it was all so picturesque. One additional highlight of the Sri Lanka tours is climbing Sigiriya, a gigantic rock fortress with a royal palace on top; this place is not just reserved for kings and queens; you can experience this too, with awe-inspiring views all around.
As for the rest of the island, when you explore cool Nuwara Eliya with its green tea farms, be sure to take time visiting the wild elephants, leopards, and birds at Yala or Wilpattu, and let's not forget about the gorgeous coast. Oh, the coast! The beaches at Bentota are quiet and refreshing; it's the ideal place to finally take a break and do absolutely nothing. Mirissa may have a more active coastline, go surfing, scuba diving, and if you're lucky, whale watching. But what you do is also important - we have travelers looking for a cultural experience of Sri Lanka; visiting ancient, sacred temples, UNESCO cities, and colorful, happy festivities. Our more adventurous clients may wish to ride the ocean waves, hike the misted hills, or go deep into the jungle for a wild safari. Of course, many guests just want to relax and recharge by choosing restful Ayurvedic retreats or yoga getaways, with beautiful views to calm the mind. From village life to the city lights, from spicy street food to mountain tea, from sunset beaches to sacred sites - the island has so much to offer regardless of where you are. Whether you want to explore, relax, or simply feel alive, Sri Lanka gives you the freedom to do exactly that, your way.
Not sure when the best time to go is? We usually recommend December to April on the West and South, and May to September on the East. It's nice to be off-season, as you will probably find fewer people to contend with and better prices. It's also easy to get to Sri Lanka: check out your ETA, then get here via train, tuk-tuk, car, or a few short flights anywhere in Sri Lanka tours easy peasy! You can pick your stay—like a big hotel with a pool and view, or a small local home where friendly people cook your breakfast. Stay where you like—eco-lodge, beach hut, or cozy hotel and enjoy tasty food like rice and curry, hoppers, and kottu, or join a cooking class to make them! We will keep you safe and comfortable, show you local customs such as temple dress code, provide you with health, money, and drinking safe water tips. We've developed some sample itineraries to give you some ideas to start with. We have everything from a one-week itinerary, which provides you with the hotspots, going the whole hog full adventure, cultural, and beach time of two weeks, travelling with kids, honeymooning, and budget trip itineraries, and seasonal trips, as we may offer you some fantastic deals too! Yes, we have had some great reviews from past travelers, which included how we made their Sri Lanka tours smoother, memorable and full of "wow" moments, and we love hearing them (we also share them on our blog, and some travel tips and hidden gems and perfect spots for Instagram shots).
