    Had an amazing time on this trip. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and on the trip, you get to experience the gorgeous coastline, amazing hikes with stunning views and the local culture. Thought the trip was well paced, the hotels were of a high standard and the CEO and team were really helpful.

    The 12 days really flew by as we were introduced to beautiful Sri Lanka including the culture, the scenery, the local people and the food. Our CEO Cham really went above and beyond for us all making sure that we were able to experience as much as possible and he really looked after us all. I would highly recommend this tour, it was a wonderful experience

    Asked on February 12th, 2025

    I am wondering first of all if you have availability for the February 17th tour, my previouse booking was canceled due to the fact that they didn't collect enough people for the tour so I am out for an organised tour a bit last minute?

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      I can just come to the hotel where we all are being gathered for the tour on the 17th. But I have a question regarding the departure since I am flying back from Colombo on the morning of the first of March and I am not sure if you can support with transfer from Hikkaduwa to Colombo and if so how much would that cost?

    • A

      Antonio

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      It seems like in the brochure that there are many 'optional' options in the brochure. How does it work? Are we supposed to organise those on our own or do we vote in the group and then decide what are we going to do?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2025

      We do have availability on the 17th Feb departure however this does fall into our late request. This means your booking is not confirmed until we receive notification from our local operations team.

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2025

      We do offer transfers back to Colombo from Hikkaduwa and the price is 155.00 EUR for 1 person.
