One Life Adventures commented on this reviewGreat to hear you were able to see some spectacular places in Sri Lanka Charles! Thank you for the review!Trip date: May 2025 - 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. Thank you all so much for our incredible time!!Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review Marina!

Livia· May 19th, 2025It was a great tour with a super route. Afterwards, I felt like I had seen a lot of Sri Lanka without any stress. Rihas is an excellent guide who has extensive knowledge of the country's culture and traditions. He is very organized, so you won't have to worry about a thing.Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review Livia! We're delighted to hear that you had a great time in Sri Lanka with Rihas guiding you!Trip date: May 2025- AAisling· May 7th, 2025The tour was amazing and Rihas is a very very good tour guide, he is so knowledgeable about each place and tells about the history, legends and culture of the people in each stop. He also had loads of recommendations of restaurants and cafes, things to do during our free time etc. There was a good mix of experiences and relaxing, the first 5-6 days were mostly cultural activities and we had loads of Sri Lankan food, the last few days were more relaxing with time to go to the beach and chill. The food in Sri Lanka is so good, we rarely had a bad meal. The people are friendly and fun, and the monsoon season rarely affected our plans (May). Thank you Rihas, Morgan and Jaya for an amazing holiday ??Show moreOne Life Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review Aisling!

Asked on March 29th, 2025Why is this restricted to 18-39. I'd like to go but I'm 68. I'm well able to walk and cycle.
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025
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.

Asked on January 13th, 2025I'd now like to book your tour these dates, but I have 2 questions. 1) I'm 40 yrs old and I noticed your tours are for 18-39 yr olds. Could I still book? 2) My flight arrives in Sri Lanka at 1130p on March 24th so I would miss the welcome meeting. Would this be ok?
- One Life AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025
Yes, you are still eligible to join the tour. Regarding your late arrival, you will get a pickup with our transport, however, you might missed the welcome dinner and the group meeting. However, your guide will keep you in the loop on the group chat (we will create whatsapp group cchat 1 week prior) If the time is still enough you join the group dinner, they will inform you.
