Reviews for Vegan vacation in Sri Lanka
Tania Watt review 16 Jul 2025
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Seeing an elephant being born.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
This is not like a normal relaxing vacation. There’s a lot of ‘education’ so you will come away knowing much more about the country you have visited, the real issues, problems and culture of Sri Lanka and not just what the tourist board wants you to believe. Be prepared to be lectured - if this isn’t for you, don’t book this trip.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, we went to several places eg drama/dance centers, the university and saw benefits that had come from the operator. We also had a day with the leading elephant conservationist and having been informed about cruelty to elephants, were able to spread the word.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
The trip team were great. It was unfortunate that the whole group got D and V from the first hotel - Galle Face in Colombo, as did other hotel guests. Due to this we effectively missed the first 4-5 days of the vacation. I think that the Galle Face should provide compensation for this. However, the rest of the vacation was good, particularly the National Park and Nilaveli and hotels The Other Corner and Amanta beach resort.Read the operator's response here:
Thank you both for choosing to travel with us on your adventure in Sri Lanka.
We are truly sorry that you, along with other travelers, experienced food poisoning during our stay at the Galle Face Hotel, Colombo, Sri Lanka. We understand how much this affected your trip, and to be honest, it was difficult for us as well.
Despite the challenging start, we are sincerely glad to know that you were still able to enjoy the beauty of Sri Lanka – its people, culture, and customs – and that the rest of your journey was memorable in a positive way.
We thank you again for joining our Sri Lanka adventure.
