The Adventure Company says
Rather than fly and flop on the nearest beach, enjoy an adventure around the island of Sri Lanka, also known as the land of Serendip. It’s packed with wonderful surprises for curious families.
Follow a carefully-planned family friendly itinerary and you will all enjoy the real Sri Lanka – sail out in a boat with local fishermen, learn how to make tea from leaf to cup, enjoy an elephant back safari and explore the many ancient temples.
We are proud to use local Group Leaders, who will guide you through their home country, taking you to local restaurants and family-run hotels. You may even join in a spontaneous game of cricket.
On our Elephant Paradise adventure, families arrive in Negombo, where sleepy fishing villages hug the Indian Ocean and coastal lagoons for fabulous views and delicious seafood. From November-April you’ll go out to spot hundreds of spinner dolphins. Then venture into the interior to the huge Lion’s Rock, which you can climb to see the ruins of King Kasyapa’s summer palace. Another highlight is the jungle safari – and of course, there’s time to relax on those paradise beaches.
Our Secrets of Sri Lanka trip takes you to the undiscovered east of the island, to the mesmerising beaches and slow pace of Trincomalee as well as jungle safaris, elephant encounters and temple visits.
On our Monkeys in the Jungle adventure, you can enjoy a ‘hands on’ experience at a primate conservation camp, tracking monkeys with a team of expert researchers in Polonnaruwa.
