Speak to our Sri Lanka specialist, David

“There’s nowhere like Sri Lanka. Having travelled all over the country, it wasn’t long before I fell completely in love with its beaches, tea hills, wild rainforest and national parks. Oh, and did I mention the spicy curries? They knocked my socks off!”

Sri Lanka Family Holidays

Sri Lanka is a fantastic destination for families with children of all ages, it’s easy to get around with our private transfers and the variety of excursions and the laid-back culture means a stress-free holiday for everyone.

Search for wild elephants and monkeys in the lush national parks, cycle through ancient cities and laze away the days on a sandy beach whilst the kids make sandcastles… Sri Lanka may be small in size but it packs a real punch when it comes to family-friendly activities.
