12 days. From coast to highlands.
Bonfires on remote beaches, dolphin-spotting at sunrise, ancient cities,

From coast to highlands.

Bonfires on remote beaches, dolphin-spotting at sunrise, ancient cities, and train rides through tea country. This is Sri Lanka, done right.

Get ready for ancient cities, remote beaches, dolphin safaris, sunrise hikes, and lush green highlands that’ll take your breath away (in the best way). You’ll camp under the stars, climb sacred rocks, ride one of the world’s most scenic trains, and taste your way through spice markets and tea plantations.

It’s a trip of coastlines and culture, temples and tuk tuks, jungle zip lines and lazy mornings by the sea. You’ll explore fishing harbours, sacred temples, and wild national parks - with a group that’s here for both the adventure and the downtime.

Wildlife, temples & ancient cities
From Wilpattu safaris to UNESCO sites like Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa.

Dolphin spotting & each camping under the stars + a BBQ & bonfire you’ll never forget.

That iconic train ride
Ride through tea plantations and rolling hills on one of the world’s most scenic rail journeys.

Tea, temples & cultural gems
Sip Ceylon at the source, explore sacred temples, and get immersed in local life.

Sunrise scenes & secret swims.
Golden peaks, jungle trails, and dips in wild waters
