An Unforgettable Adventure Through Sri Lanka!

The itinerary offered a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and comfort. Every day brought something new — from wildlife safaris and scenic nature walks to temple visits and authentic local experiences — all complemented by stays in beautiful premium hotels, which provided the perfect place to relax and recharge. One of the standout highlights was the food — every meal was bursting with flavour, and the cooking class in Ella was one of my favourite experiences. We made eight delicious curries with a local family — such a fun and memorable way to connect with the culture! Sri Lanka is an absolute must!

A wonderful visit to an incredible country.

This trip was full of unforgettable experiences that provided a wonderful insight to this fascinating and beautiful country. Most days were pretty busy, but there wasn't anything I would want to have missed.

Beautiful and busy Sri Lanka

This trip was a good tour of the island with a mix of cultural sites (Sigiriya, temples, Buddhist villages etc) with wildlife sites (some river/lake tours) and two opportunities for safaris in the national park. It was quite busy at times and although we stayed in some amazingly beautiful (and expensive!) hotels we didn't always get the chance to appreciate them. Lots of big chain hotels which feels a little away from the small group ethos. The Guide was brilliant and the transport excellent - although it was a large coach.

Beautiful Sri Lanka!

What a truly beautiful country, filled with beautiful people. With so much to experience in a relatively short space of time, this is the way to do it. It's a packed schedule and very 'full on' although we did have an air conditioned coach with driver and assistant for the entire trip making all transfers and trips very easy. No stress there. Some days were early starts and occasional late finishes so limited the time spent at the hotels for relaxation, however you can always make the decision to drop out of some activities. I took part in all of the planned activities, opted out of the optional whale watching, resulting in just one full day of very welcome down time at the beach. We were warmly greeted at each hotel, usually with a drink or flower and made to feel welcome.
