Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with beautiful people. We enjoyed the mix of the cultural triangle, hill country and beach which was ideal for a small group of friends with slightly varying preferences. There was something for everyone. (more)Angela Whyte

This was the most fantastic vacation. I was not that keen on going, but my husband is a very keen birder and he really wanted to go. I am now so glad he persuaded me, and will definitely visit Sri Lanka again... (more)John Diley
This was a really excellent vacation. We had fun, we were stimulated, we were educated and we made good friends with our locals who showed us their country. We also feel that we had excellent value for money with two locals, a new vehicle, most meals, all entrance fees and other extras included for a very inexpensive daily rate. (more)Keith Pigdon
From
£2,145

The daily hikes to rock pools for swimming, the early morning hikes to watch the sun rise, the fantastic food, the breathtaking scenery and our impromptu tuk-tuk and boat safari close to Sigiriya were the most memorable parts of our vacation. (more)Cecilie Gianneri
We all really enjoyed our visit to Sri Lanka and I would love to return to see more.
The places you chose for us to stay were really great. They were well spaced and considered our request for some down time as well as culture. (more)Caroline Tower
The most memorable part of the vacation was the national park and the sightings of leopards and sun bears. (more)Lynn Ridgers
From

The operator put together a really varied itinerary for us and so we were able to have some wonderful relaxation time with gorgeous sunsets (staying at the top of Chamarel was a highlight for the view!), incredible food at SALT, a lovely kayaking afternoon whilst glamping at Otentic, and a fabulous time swimming with sea turtles off of Grand Baie (more)Helen Dennis

All the parts of the vacation were good. Excellent trip. (more)Lucy Hadfield
It was all exciting really from the beautiful beachside hotels to the wildlife parks. At Palagama beach the food was amazing especially when I was shown their own vegetable garden and we picked fresh vegetables that were cooked as individual curries for my dinner that evening. I felt as if I had been away for at least a month - I had seen and done so much in that two weeks. (more)Susie Barrett

Memorable parts?
We were bold over by the quality of the hotels.
Tips?
The vacation is ideal for those wishing to relax and take things at a leisurely pace. Be aware most of the hotels are located in fairly remote locations so not ideal for sightseeing or activities but our driver was very good at suggesting an itinerary that suited us and fitted plenty of things on our travel days maximising our time.
Local benefits?
Not directly but we did visit and support some environmental... (more)Stuart McFarlane

Memorable parts?
The hike up Ella Rock
Tips?
Don’t waste any time in Colombo. Book hotels based upon recommendations if possible. There is a huge variety of quality at apparently the same standard. Old colonial is no longer necessarily the best.
Local benefits?
A mixture of all
Overall rating?
Brilliant! (more)Darren Cartlidge
From
£2,317
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Safaris without the hint of a doubt
Tips?
Get yourselves a mask because during the dry season you'll breath and eat a lot of dust. Dry season is better because there are almost no mosquitoes. Be generous to the people and they'll give back to you a hundred fold.
Local benefits?
We did not support conventional industrial touristic operators, we know we did not, nature was respected so it gave me the feeling that we reduced our footprint. Safaris on the contrary... (more)Damien Solerte

viewed early morning. Snakes, butterflies, lizards as well as birds at Sinharaja rainforest NP. Staying in an old tea plantation
house. Watching fruit bats fly over the lake at Kandy.
Tips?
Be prepared for very early morning starts. Work out a tipping strategy, and allow funds for tips. They are very flexible, so request any changes to the... (more)Wendy English

It was all amazing. I couldn’t choose one thing. The main things were seeing leopard and also hundreds of nesting painted storks on a lake in Yala, the elephants and their young at Minneriya and seeing turtles and sharks when snorkelling. (more)Catharine Fitzgerald
Seeing the leopards in Yala National Park (more)Beth James
The trip was well planned and the guide was well organised and very pleasant and helpful. It was great and I would definitely go back to Sri Lanka. (more)Catherine Stothart
From
£2,345

If I had to name one (memorable) part it would be seeing "the gathering" - 150+ elephants in one place was awe inspiring. Or perhaps seeing three leopards in one day or the sloth bears. Then there is the food.....wow
(more)Stuart Gadd
The country, scenery, wildlife and locals are amazing and our guide was particularly fantastic. (more)Christina Dodkin
There were lots of memorable moments, here's the top few in terms of wildlife: Kaudulla National Park Safari (~200 elephants on grasslands by lake). Mirissa Whale & Dolphin Sea Safari (7 Blue Whales & a pod of ~100 Spinner Dolphins)... (more)Andy Tanner

From
£2,490

Memorable parts?
Seeing leopards drinking at the waterside and sloth bears at Wilpattu National Park.
Tips?
We went on a wildlife tour of Sri Lanka and suggest you give yourselves a few rest days between safaris to recuperate as well as giving you more time to enjoy
the resorts where you are staying.
Local benefits?
Safari guides and drivers were employed from the local community as were hotel staff. The hotels where we stayed were environmentally aware. The National Parks... (more)Kim Plumb

Seeing a sloth bear whilst on safari in Yale was my highlight. The vacations with your guidance was a total success. Saw many things and will take home lots of good memories. Saw many things and will take home lots of good memories. (more)Steve Daish
The most memorable was the whale watching. To see the largest creatures on earth from maybe 20 or 30 metres away is a real privilege and to see them do the deep dive with the tail in the air is a iconic image. Also seeing leopards in the wild was a memorable moment.

Our vacation was a lifetime experience in a lot of ways. We had so many great moments and would not have managed to do so much without the opportunity of our own chaffeur guide. Ash was a star!
(more)David Carter
It was really wonderful. We still have a million things that we would like to do next time we go to Sri Lanka :)It was relaxing to have it all reserved and taken care of in advance. (more)Oana Timofte
It was excellent thanks to the organizational skills of the tour company, and to lovely people of Sri Lanka, who always had a smile and a greeting for us. (more)Sandy Easterbrook

on the East and South coasts. The amazing temples and quirky workshops - paper products from elephant dung and a whole array of products from coconut

The glories of Sri Lanka, from the Dambulla caves to Horton Plains to the southern ocean. This was a fabulous itinerary, leaving us with rich memories that will endure. Our guide, Srinath, was particularly knowledgeable and passionate about the archaeology, history, and Buddhist religion, helping make the ancient cities the most enjoyable and memorable part of the trip for us. The van was comfortable and Indica was a careful and safe driver.

It was all great. The diversity of bird life is astonishing - we saw 85 different types of bird - Sri Lanka is wonderful for anyone who likes bird watching... the food was good, the people friendly and it was a relaxing experience. (more)Catherine Stothart
Not a good trip but good birds.
(more)Martyn Todd
finally seeing a Leopard in the wild, it was not without its stress as there were too many jeeps trying to populate a very small space but eventually we were lucky and had wonderful views as an adult female came down to drink at a waterhole. (more)Chris Rose

Rainforest, elephants and monkeys
Tips?
Avoid kandy for any more than one night. Stay longer at the rainforest. Don't stay at the citrus...alledgelly a superior
room. Not! Take your paperwork with you so you can prove what you have booked as this happened 4 times. Be firm with
your driver and not to be taken to mates places! Also avoid spice plantation...rip off
