Top Jaffna Tours by Duration

With over 5 years of experience as a tour guide, I offer a unique opportunity to explore Jaffna. My passion lies in the way travel connects people, and having been a lifelong resident of Jaffna, I bring a perspective on its traditions that few others can. Exploring Jaffna with me ensures a deep dive into its culture, history, and lifestyle. Travelers can join me on my motorcycle, or if they hold a license, I can provide them with a motorcycle while accompanying them on another. This flexibility allows for a personalized experience where they can stop and immerse themselves in locations that interest them, enjoying a 360-degree view of the surroundings. Our motorcycles are in excellent condition and are ideal for exploring Jaffna. There are no additional charges for fuel, and I ensure a safe journey, guiding and supporting travellers throughout the tour. As a memento of the experience, each traveller receives a unique wooden key tag.

Visit the historic Fort of Jaffna. Spend some time in the famous Jaffna Library. See the spot where Sangamitta temporarily planted the bo tree at Naga Vihara. Visit the beautiful Nallur Kandaswamy Temple. Take a step into Jaffna's royal history by visiting Sangilian Thopu and Manthri Manai. Finish off with some souvenir shopping for friends and family in the market of Jaffna.

This Tour offers you some of the major attraction in Jaffna. Jaffna is a city on the northern tip of Sri Lanka. By the coast, star-shaped Jaffna Fort was built by the Portuguese in the 17th century and later occupied by the Dutch and British. Jaffna Public Library is a symbol of the city’s post-war regeneration. Jaffna Archaeological Museum has Dutch cannons and pre-colonial artifacts.

Explore the ancient city of Jaffna on this half day tour. You’ll get on your bike, and then your guide will take you to see the remnants of the Jaffna Kingdom, including the throne of the ancient Tamil Kings. See plenty of places of cultural significance, including churches, temples and more. You’ll wind your way through the busy streets of the market, and see the food on display. Stop by a local ice cream parlor for a snack, too.

Along with the main attractions of Delft Island—such as the Dutch Fort, Pigeon Nest, Dutch Hospital, beaches, Baobab tree, Queen’s Tower, and wild horses—we offer something more meaningful. As this is a glamping stay, guests have more time to slow down and truly feel the island vibe. You can walk around the village, observe daily island life, and experience how the local community lives peacefully and simply. Delft Village Stay is an experience-based eco community stay, where guests are encouraged to interact with the local community and enjoy traditional meals prepared with local, natural ingredients in a clean and hygienic way. This experience is best suited for adventure and experience seekers who enjoy nature, culture, and authenticity. Guests who expect luxury transport or 5-star hotel-style comfort should note that this island—and tour with Glamorous campsites —are not designed for that type of travel.
