Sri Lanka Holidays

Sri Lanka holidays offer a stunning blend of history, culture and wildlife with a spectacular landscape of palm-fringed beaches, lush forests and tranquil hill stations.

Tear yourself away from the beach and you will discover friendly people, mouth-watering food and beautiful scenery. Marvel at Sri Lanka's ancient cities of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and the rock fortress of Sigiriya, or discover the famous Temple of the Tooth in Kandy.

Further south, the plains give way to rolling hills and mountain peaks carpeted with rows of emerald tea plantations and a cool, refreshing climate. Sri Lanka’s verdant national parks are also a haven for wildlife, from over 400 species of birds to majestic elephants, as well as the elusive leopard.

Trailfinders offers a wide range of Sri Lanka holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Sri Lanka with your own private driver, on a cycling holiday, a sociable small group tour, or are simply looking for advice on the best luxury hotel for a relaxing beach holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.

Fabulous holiday of a lifetime.

"I had a brilliant experience with Trailfinders. Particularly with Anna Kanuik, who curated our holiday to Sri Lanka so perfectly. The balance between guided activities and rest days was just right. We aren't usually the sort of family who likes to be organised, but this trip hit just the right note in terms of being driven to places of interest and our guide only gave interesting and engaging information, but was also full of warmth and humour, so it was a joy to be around him. Definitely the best holiday we've ever had!"

You will save money and have a much more meaningful adventure

"Trailfinders booked our honeymoon in Peru as well has extraordinary adventures for us in Laos and Thailand; Sri Lanka and Vietnam and all 4 holidays have been sensational. They tailor the itinerary to us and have first hand knowledge of all excursions and hotels that they book. Their prices are extraordinarily good. There's no way that we could have booked what we did on each holiday privately for as good a rate as they got us. You will save money and have a much more meaningful adventure."

Chloe was super helpful

"Chloe was super helpful, inspiring and knowledgable in helping us to compile a private trip to Sri Lanka. Her own personal experience of the country was really helpful in assisting us to make decisions between the various options available and her positive attitude and organisational skills meant we now have a really exciting trip planned and booked!

First trip to beautiful Sri Lanka

"Our first booking with Trailfinders and our first trip to Sri Lanka. We decided to use a reputable agent having read the reviews we decided on Trailfinders for my 60th birthday celebrations. The service from booking to the many changes post booking and during our stay was impeccable. We had an idea what we wanted to see and do then opted for a personal tour guide for the first part of our holiday and Charlie our representative for Trailfinders explored many options to help with our final decision. The tour operator in Sri Lanka and Pesanna our personal guide was extremely knowledgeable, so friendly and went over and above our expectations and the seamless drop offs and pick ups just made our stay even better and removed any stress entirely. We stayed in 5 hotels over 16 days and I would do it all again. We had an issue at one of the hotels where there was unexpected building work next door. We spoke to Trailfinders via there amazing app and together with the Sri Lankan tour operator and our tour guide it was sorted out immediately. Nothing was too much trouble! Sri Lanka is the most incredible place with such kind people where we felt extremely safe and we hope to return. "
