Emkea· June 20th, 2025I had an amazing time during our trip in Sri Lanka! The trip is very varied in activities, with a lot of different cultures, history, food and nature related activities. The tour guide, Sumudu Peiris, was amazing and made sure everything was perfectly organised. The bus driver and his colleague were also great and always made me feel safe, even in the sometimes chaotic traffic of Sri Lanka. Would definitely recommend!Show more

His 28 years of experience shined brightly through all aspects of the amazing 12 days. The insight to the local culture, religions and the way of life is truly magnificent and something I will aspire to always. I am so grateful I chose to spend a big birthday of mine in Sri Lanka as alongside the incredible itinerary, Sumudu, Morgan and Jai made it extra special. I couldn’t highly recommend this tour enough as we seen and did so much over such a short period of time.

- JSJess· June 19th, 2025I cannot say enough about Sumudu Peiris! He has made my trip unforgettable and every day so special. With his enthusiasm and happiness every day he was a joy to have as our guide (genuinely couldn’t ask for a better one!!) I have learned so much about the Sri Lankan culture, food and religious practices thanks to him and experienced more than I could ever imagine. He made everyone feel so comfortable and tailored the experience for everyone’s needs and requirements with no problems or questions. Our driver and helper too were outstanding. The coach was spotless every day and they always greeted us with a smile. An all round incredible experience and I recommend to anyone!

Breakfast was included at every hotel, and the accommodations were all pretty nice! I loved having a clean private bus to transport in daily, shout out to Sanje and Opul as our assistant and driver.

- HHilal· May 28th, 2025Unforgettable 12-Day Tour Through Sri Lanka – Highly Recommended! I went on a 12-day tour through Sri Lanka in May – and it was absolutely fantastic! The entire trip was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide Sameera was incredibly friendly and not only had extensive knowledge about the country, culture, and history but also impressed the whole group with his warm personality. Our driver Opulaya and assistance Sanjeewa did also a great job! The itinerary was perfectly balanced – from the cultural highlights in Kandy and Dambulla to breathtaking nature experiences in the national park (including a safari!), all the way to relaxing days on the stunning southern beaches. I especially loved the visit to a tea plantation in the highlands and the scenic train ride through the lush greenery of Ella – it was like something out of a picture book! The food was consistently delicious – I truly fell in love with the local cuisine and its rich spices. The group was diverse, and the atmosphere was always great. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real Sri Lanka – authentic, warm, and full of fascinating impressions. I’ll definitely be back!Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for such a wonderful review Hilal!

- MJMarina· May 28th, 2025We had the best time exploring Sri Lanka on this tour! Our tour guide Sameera was great at keeping us all on track for schedule, advising what items and cash we would need for each stop, and providing a well-informed outline of the sites we saw and the history of Sri Lanka! Each afternoon, he would send us a detailed itinerary of what to expect for the following day, so we always knew what the plan was and how we needed to prepare. He had great food recommendations and ensured our safety throughout the entire trip. The bus driver Opul and co-driver Sanjeewa were super friendly and ensured our travel safety throughout our tour! The minibus was comfortable (even when experiencing travel sickness with the winding roads!) and always cleaned.

Our decision to set an age range of 18 to 45 is aimed at ensuring all participants share similar expectations and comfort levels during the tour. We aim to create an environment where everyone can connect easily with fellow travelers of similar ages and energy levels. While we recognize that age is not always indicative of fitness, our age range helps us manage expectations and create a balanced dynamic within the group.
