Discover what makes Sri Lankaunforgettable
From the golden beaches of Mirissa to the calm shores of Unawatuna, Sri Lanka’s coastlines are a dream. Whether you’re snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, surfing world-class waves, or simply lounging under swaying palms, the island's tropical beauty offers the perfect escape for beach lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Sri Lanka is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts. Embark on a safari in Yala National Park, where you can spot leopards, elephants, and a variety of exotic birds in their natural habitat. For a more serene experience, visit Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, where you can get up close to these gentle giants as they bathe in the river.
Sri Lanka is home to some of the most awe-inspiring ancient sites in the world. Visit Sigiriya, an ancient rock fortress that rises 600 feet above the jungle, or explore the ruins of Anuradhapura, a city over 2,000 years old. These historical gems offer a unique blend of ancient architecture, mythology, and breathtaking views that make you feel like you've traveled back in time.
Sri Lanka's rich spice history is woven into its culture. Visit the lush spice gardens in Kandy, where you’ll discover the secrets behind the island’s famous cinnamon, cardamom, and pepper. Don’t miss the chance to savor Sri Lankan cuisine, from flavorful curries to street food delights, all bursting with the fresh spices that define the island’s unique flavor profile.

Overall: Thank you for your quick response and the itinerary really looks good. You are very proficient and professional I have to say.
Overall: I wanted to thank you for handling the organisation of our ground transportation and tour-guide services during our recent holiday in Sri Lanka. As quite experienced independent travelers we were initially a little wary of having a dedicated driver with us for the full duration of our stay but I have to say we were delighted with how things worked out. Our driver and guide John provided an excellent service, his driving was safe and courteous throughout and he understood our requirement to explore a little off the beaten track and not follow the crowds. His excellent English and personable manner made the occasional long day in the van pass pleasantly and his knowledge of Sri Lankan history, culture and nature was encyclopedic! Towards the end of our trip I understand a logistics issue meant that there was a possibility of our driver and van being used for another party and a replacement driver and car was to be sent. I would like to thank John and your team for understanding that this would have been a little stressful for us and therefore agreeing to proceed as originally planned. A measure of an excellent organisation is its ability to balance its logistics with customer demands and we are very appreciative of the stance you took. We hope to return to Sri Lanka to explore again in the not too distant future and hope perhaps to meet up with our driver John again one day.
We did a 6 day tour around Sri Lanka. We were collected from our Hotel in Negombo by our tour guide - who was brilliant and definitely enhanced our experience of the country! We did so many amazing things overs the six days, climbed Sigiriya Rock, visited the Dambulla Cave Temples, and Matale Spice Garden, had a city tour of Kandy, including a visit to the Temple of the Tooth Relic and a cultural dance show with fire walking which was absolutely fantastic! We also visited a Tea Plantation and factory. In our final two days of the tour we went on a game drive at Udawalawe National Park, as well as a Guided Trek in the Sinharaja Rainforest Reserve. We had a fantastic holiday and came away with so many memories that we will never forget! Thank you!
Замечательный гид. Узнали много интересного.
Personalized service. Not having to worry about getting from one place to another.
Great combination of activities! We love nature, trying new food, history and a little bit of relaxing(not that you get to relax when you have a 2 and 3 year old) on the beach. The whole family was very happy!
