Overview

Experience the best of Sri Lanka’s culture and wildlife in just over a week on this private 8-day adventure. Travel between destinations in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with a personal chauffeur-guide, so you can relax and focus on the sights. Explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites – climb the ancient Sigiriya Rock Fortress, marvel at the golden Buddha statues of Dambulla Cave Temple, and visit Kandy’s sacred Temple of the Tooth – gaining insight into Sri Lanka’s rich history at each stop. Head out on an exhilarating jeep safari in Minneriya National Park to spot wild elephants in their natural habitat, and enjoy other unique experiences like a spice garden visit and a scenic drive through hill-country tea plantations. With door-to-door transport and a well-crafted itinerary, you’ll cover a huge variety of attractions without the stress of planning.

Please note: Admission fees for attractions and excursions are not included in the tour price and can be paid directly on site.
