Our tour leader Isanka (Ish) was a brilliant group leader who not only looked after the whole group with professionalism and care, was so well informed but also delivered so much interest that the tour was truly rewarding for the whole group.

Excellent tour leader, helped me climb up Sigiriya. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw a lot during the week and stayed in lovely hotels. The only downside was the poor service of Srilankan Air, but there was efficient help when our flight was cancellec

Excellent comprehensive tour of major highlights of Sri Lanka, with extras thrown in. Particularly loved the cave temples of Dambulla, climbing Sigirya Lion Rock, Tea Country, Nine Arches Rail Trip, 3 x wild life safaris, lots of elephants, fish market at Negombo, beautiful Galle, Helga's Folly in Kandy (a must-see that we did independently), Kandy Temple of the Tooth ceremony. Did not like the big sell of the wood carvers, the batik seller or the moonstone factory. Also some of the buffet meals weren't great.
Philip | Traveled in December
As it says on the tin, this is an active tour. Loads of action packed into it and you're left feeling you have experienced much of what Sri Lanka has to offer in a safely controlled way with an excellent guide. You need to be fit to enjoy it and, if you are, I highly recommend.
Deborah | Traveled in December
I had a great trip in Sri Lanka. We saw so much from Elephants, Bears, and even saw a whale on the whale watching trip. The cycling is moderate and we saw so much that we would never have seen from a vehicle. Ash and his team were helpful and knowledgeable and made the trip interesting. We always felt safe and looked after. I would thoroughly recommend this trip and have lovely memories of my time in Sri Lanka.
David | Traveled in December
The Active Sri Lanka trip was brilliant. We saw so many different things, wildlife, beautiful temples and tropical villages and did lots of activities, kayaking, whitewater rafting, cycling and hiking. Sri Lanka is a fascinating country with lovely people and delicious food. This trip has it all.
