The whole family will love Sigiriya’s impressive rock fortress and spotting elephants on a jeep safari. There’s even the opportunity to stay and learn to cook with the locals in Kandy which is a fantastic insight into traditional Sri Lankan culture.

Getting around in Sri Lanka

Throughout your Sri Lanka family holiday, you’ll travel by private car with an English-speaking driver. This not only gives you complete flexibility of where and when you stop, but also an in-depth insight into Sri Lanka as you can ask your driver questions about the places you’ll visit along the way. Plus all cars have air-conditioning to keep the whole family chilled.

Peace of mind with our local partners

In Sri Lanka, we work with a local partner who is just as passionate about meaningful travel as we are. They work closely with our Product Managers to discover new and enriching experiences that benefit the local population. The staff at our local office are available 24/7 in case you need assistance at any point throughout your Sri Lanka family holiday.
