Overview & Highlights

Colombo – Pinnawala – Nuwara Eliya – Bentota – Colombo
  • Sri Lanka has a way of keeping every member of the family genuinely happy and this 6-day Sri Lanka family tour package is built to prove exactly that.

  • Your Sri Lanka family trip starts at Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, one of Sri Lanka's most beloved wildlife stops, where rescued and orphaned elephants are bathed, fed, and cared for by dedicated handlers. Watching a herd of elephants walk to the river and play in the water is one of those experiences that children and adults remember equally well.

  • From there, the road climbs into Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka's cool, misty hill station known as Little England, surrounded by rolling tea estates and colonial-era charm that feels completely unlike the rest of the island.

  • Two days here give the family time to explore Victoria Park, go boating on Lake Gregory, visit a working tea factory to see how Ceylon's famous Orange Pekoe is made, and walk through Hakgala Botanical Garden, a highland garden where the Ramayana's Ashok Vatika is believed to have stood.

  • Bentota's golden beaches, warm Indian Ocean water, and calm conditions make it one of Sri Lanka's most family-friendly beach destinations. A Madu River boat safari through mangrove islands and a visit to the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery where you can watch newly hatched turtles up close before they're released into the sea, round off the beach days perfectly.

  • Colombo closes the trip with a city tour and some of the best shopping on any Sri Lanka family holiday. Plan your escape now.
