Frequently asked questions

Everything travellers usually ask before planning a Sri Lanka trip. Still stuck? Message us on WhatsApp - we're happy to help.

When is the best time to visit Sri Lanka?

It depends on the coast. The south and west coasts and hill country are best December–April; the east coast (Arugam Bay, Trincomalee) is best May–September. We plan every trip around the season you're travelling in.

How many days do I need in Sri Lanka?

Ten days covers the classic highlights plus beach time; two weeks lets you slow down and add the east coast or more beach. A week suits a beach-focused or short culture trip.

Do I need a private driver?

For most trips it's the best option - a private chauffeur-guide is flexible, relaxing and more affordable than many expect. We include it in almost every journey.

Is Sri Lanka good for families?

Very. Short safari mornings, big wildlife, gentle beaches and plenty of pool time make the safari-and-beach combination a family favourite.

Is Sri Lanka good for a honeymoon?

It's a wonderful honeymoon destination - fort hotels, tea-country hideaways, private safaris and barefoot-luxury beach villas. See our honeymoon journey and itinerary.

What happens after I enquire?

We review your dates, travel style and hotel preferences, then come back with a tailored first-draft idea for your trip.

How do I pay, and is it safe?

Trips are confirmed with a deposit and the balance before travel, through secure channels. See our Payment & Safety page for more details.

Can I combine surf, safari, culture and beach?

Absolutely - that's the whole point of tailor-made. We'll build a route that fits your interests and the season, without long, tiring drives.

Do you book flights?

We focus on your in-country trip - hotels, transfers, driver-guide and experiences. We're happy to advise on flights and timing.
