6 days is not enough to see all Sri Lanka has to offer, wonderful place to visit.

Emma_P, Apr 2026

We loved our travels to Sri Lanka, and the things we saw. 6 days was not enough, and tried to put too much into each day. Our guide/driver was very pleasant and answered our questions about the sights we visited. There is so much to do, and a wide variety of activities for all ages. The people are very hospitable and friendly. The scenery is amazing, and nature/animals a joy to see. We were unfortunate to have a vehicle not upto standard, and had a part-day delay and had to switch vehicles daily for remainder of tour. Some vans/cars were better, but none I would describe as latest model. The accommodation was of good standard, and it felt like we had the whole hotel to ourselves in a couple of places, so staff were very attentive. As we had very busy days we did not get time to use all facilities, but the pools looked nice! 3 of the hotels we used were close to town, but the Fort Edge Retreat was misleading as very far from Galle Centre (and not the cleanest, or well appointed). The tour included transportation and accommodation, entrance fees are extra. You can pick and choose which to do. For 6 days I would recommend less, so you can really enjoy the time at ones you do and have time to relax also. If doing 8/10/12 days then pack in more of the options. We loved seeing the elephants, monkeys, turtles, the village safari experience, the train ride, tea factory, Kandy, Ella and Galle in particular stood out, but the whole trip was amazing experience - including the hikes in 30+ midday heat (suggest time those to early/late parts of day).

A beautiful little gem of a country

Jason_B, Mar 2026

Awesome way to spend a week in Sri Lanka my guide picked me up at the airport and off we went , the first thing that you notice is if you are arriving from India that the air and countryside are much cleaner and once you get into the hill country it’s breathtaking, only thing is it’s a lot of driving and some of it is white knuckle driving so if your a nervous person don’t go on this ! If you travel with a partner you can chat away with each other if your a solo traveler like me you might run out of things to chat about over the 6 days and also some of the places you visit and there will be lots ,some just might not interest you the guide will say go and visit and if you don’t want to they kinda get annoyed with you saying it’s on the schedule!! Other then that it’s amazing experience!!!!!
