With comfortable transfers and plenty of activities to keep the children entertained, Sri Lanka is becoming a popular choice for families. Our Sri Lanka family tours cover the highlights of this stunning country, from endless green tea hills to wild elephants and palm-fringed bays. 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.

Family friendly accommodation in Sri Lanka
The places you stay can make or break a family holiday. After a busy day exploring, you need somewhere comfortable, welcoming and family-friendly to return to. That’s why our family team seeks out and visits accommodation across Sri Lanka, looking for the right mix of atmosphere, location and facilities.
We love accommodation with a local feel and plenty of character. Stay with a local family in Kandy and learn to cook traditional dishes, or sleep in a safari tented lodge near Yala National Park, surrounded by wildlife. From family-run guesthouses to nature lodges and beach retreats, each stay adds something special to your Sri Lanka family holiday.
Flexible trips packed with adventure
Small, safe and packed with adventure, Sri Lanka is a fantastic destination for a family holiday. Wildlife lovers will enjoy spotting elephants, leopards and crocodiles in the country’s many national parks such as Yala National Park, water babies can try their hand at surfing in Arugam Bay and if you have older kids up for an active adventure, why not try climbing to the top of Adam’s Peak at sunrise?
Our bite-sized 2-4 day trips piece together easily, giving you the chance to create a personalised Sri Lanka family holiday. Alternatively, take a peek at our ready-made family itinerary choices, which can be tweaked to your liking.
Getting around in Sri Lanka
Throughout your Sri Lanka family holiday, you’ll travel in the comfort of your own air-conditioned car with a private English-speaking driver. He’ll take care of the routes and traffic while you sit back, relax and enjoy the views. Along the way, you can ask questions, pick up local tips and make spontaneous stops, whether that’s for a fresh coconut, a scenic viewpoint or a village you fancy exploring. With your own driver, there’s no need to worry about public transport or navigating unfamiliar roads, giving you more time to enjoy Sri Lanka together.
Peace of mind with our local partners
We work with a trusted local partner in Sri Lanka who knows the country inside out and shares our passion for meaningful travel. Together with our Product Managers, they seek out authentic experiences that support local communities and bring you closer to everyday Sri Lankan life.
And if you need a helping hand during your family holiday, our local team is available 24/7, so you can travel with peace of mind.
