Twenty years

With over 20 years’ experience in special interest travel to Sri Lanka, and steady investment in research and development, our team has created an exceptional array of tours.

Adventure travel takes in trekking, cycling and white-water rafting. Wildlife journeys range from general safaris to specialised birdwatching and dedicated leopard, blue whale and cetacean trips. Each of our special interest tours goes deep into a single field.

Our promise to every individual and group we meet: we will readily invest the resources it takes to create their perfect Sri Lanka trip.

02Adventure

Trekking

Tea trails & cloud forest

The Pekoe Trail through the tea-growing highlands is the newest jewel for trekkers, but it is the sheer diversity of terrain, climate and village culture in so short a distance that makes Sri Lanka irresistible on foot.

Half a day to 10 days

03Adventure

Cycling

Village lanes to coast to coast

Perhaps the most rewarding way to explore Sri Lanka. Ride half a day through nearby villages and forest trails, or six to ten days from coast to coast, with support vehicles, mechanics and crew or simply great bikes and a route map.

Wildlife

Leopards, elephants & whales

As one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, Sri Lanka is a tremendous opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts. Our specialist guides and naturalists track leopard and elephant, blue whales and spinner dolphins, and lead trips focused on a single species.
