Adventure In Sri Lanka

The weather is variable and there's possibility of rainfall during the whole year, but there’s no real ‘bad’ time of year to go on this adventure. Sri Lanka has a lot of sunshine in every season.

Pick up at the airport. You’ll get detailed info on where to go and who to meet once you book.

The majority of the group members are solo travelers, so joining one of the group tours is a great way to meet people and make friends. Before your trip starts they'll put you in touch with the rest of your group so you can start chatting and get to know each other. The accommodation is mostly twin or triple share, so we will put you in a room with someone of the same gender. Occasionally there are private room options for an extra charge.

Deciding whether to get vaccinated before you travel is a personal choice. There are no mandatory vaccinations.

The groups are small, of 12-16 people.

All activities, accommodation, transport and some meals are included so you’ll just need money for extra meals, drinks, shopping and onward travel. We recommend bringing at least $600 / £300 spending money. It’s best to take a Visa or Master Card debit, credit or travel money card. There are ATM’s available throughout Sri Lanka so it’s easy to get access to cash. Some places accept credit card but not all.
