    Amazing trip! We travelled to Sri Lanka in August/September 2019 and had a great experience with Step Lanka and our driver and guide Tharaka. We visited some amazing places and Tharaka used his knowledge to make sure we were able to make the most of each destination. He also found us the best and most cost effective way of doing the excursions, trips and classes that we wanted to do - pigeon island snorkelling and cookery class, in particular. Thanks so much for an unforgettable trip. We hope to come back again soon! Alex and Gemma

    Having travelled with Intrepid to Borneo in 215/16, we were keen to travel with the company again. I didn't think we could possibly match the experiences we had in Borneo, but I was wrong. This has been one of the best holidays of my life!!

    My leader, Nandana, was very helpful with everything. He helped us with looking for places for nice food, and with general information. His English was amazing too. Everything we went to was interesting, and a big difference in the range of things we did. We had some historic activities, and some animal activities. I enjoyed every minute of my trip.

All questions
  • A

    Arthur

    Asked on October 19th, 2024

    Are additional services to be paid for extra to the holiday cost? I thought the trains, bikes safari etc were all inclusive in the original price?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten October 2024

      Train ride, bike ride, safari, and visits to sites like the Dambulla Cave Temples, Sigiriya, and the Temple of the Tooth, are indeed part of the holiday package at no extra cost. These are covered in your original trip cost. However, some additional services will need to be paid for locally upon arrival in Sri Lanka, like the costs for certain entrance tickets, and other similar expenses. The approximate amount to be paid locally is around GBP 7.68 per person. This is not part of the pre-paid holiday cost and is to be settled directly during the tour.

    Sheila

    Asked on February 3rd, 2024

    Do you charge extra for solo travellers?

    Single supplement
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten February 2024

      We do have the single supplement option available for this tour if you want to have your own room with an additional cost. If you are okay to share rooms, then there won't be any costs.
