Honest insights from past guests on our Trekking and Hiking Sri Lanka tours

Best of Sri Lanka

The tour was fantastic although we would have preferred to add two nights at Yalta and reduce the beach nights at Earls Reef Hotel. Also although we did a day trip to Colombo from Bentoto, the traffic held us up and limited our time in Colombo. If we had finished our tour with one night in Colombo we could have seen more

Fantastic trip - highly recommended

Great trip from start to finish showcasing lots of different parts of Sri Lanka. The hiking was great and really got you away from the tourist hot spots. Beautiful scenery up in the mountains and forests, tea plantations, lakes, waterfalls. It was more beautiful than I had imagined. Hotels were all of a good standard, several with pools. I would have preferred not to camp the one night but that is just me! I liked that there weren't lots of long road journeys and the itinerary was well paced. Lots of opportunities to sample Sri Lankan food. Great wildlife and birds. We were lucky enough to spot a leopard but the safari would have been fun even if we hadn't as there was still lots to see. Overall, a brilliant trip as you see and do so much in the 15 days.

Walking the best of Sri Lanka

I have recently returned from the most incredible walking trip in Sri Lanka. The walks were very diverse, up mountains, through rainforests and around serene lakes. We also explored the cities, beaches and National Parks (where we were lucky enough to see a Leopard!). Our leader, Ruwan, was first class - he was very organised, friendly, told us interesting stories about the culture and history and took us to meet lots of local families, who were all lovely. I couldn't speak of this trip more highly.

Best tour we’ve ever had

We booked and paid for this tour pre-Covid in late 2019. Australia closed its borders one week before we were due to commence our best of Sri Lanka holiday in March 2020. Bookmundi and HOT tourism assured me that we could postpone our tour until it was safe to travel and we were ready to go. They placed no time limit on how long it would take. True to their word we rebooked and and commenced our tour in late June this year. We’ve (Myself, wife and daughter) had absolutely no regrets. The best of Sri Lanka tour took us to some wonderful cultural and historical sites. Not to mention the natural beauty that Sri Lanka has to offer. If you are considering taking this tour I advise you not to hesitate. It is great value for money and a lot of fun and very relaxing. Sri Lanka is a wonderful place to visit and I hope to come back again someday soon.

Certainly 'The Best of Sri Lanka'.

From start to finish this was a great tour. We got a real feel for the culture, history and the people of Sri Lanka. We experienced jungle, beach, fish market, farmers' market, village life, historical sites and throughout had magnificent views of this beautiful country. Hotels were clean and comfortable and buffet food gave us plenty of choice. This is a 'must do' tour!
