Overview & Highlights

Colombo Airport – Yala National Park – Galle Fort City - Bentota – Colombo
  • Are you looking for some real adventure in Sri Lanka beyond usual culture and heritage trips? This 6-day Sri Lanka adventure tour is built around the kind of experiences that actually get your heart going.

  • Start in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka's most famous wildlife reserve and one of the best places in the world to spot leopards in the wild. From there move through Galle, a UNESCO-listed Dutch fort city where colonial history meets the Indian Ocean. Explore the scenic beaches of Bentota for water sports, river safaris, and turtle hatcheries on the country's most action-packed stretch of coastline.

  • Yala is the centrepiece. A morning jeep safari here puts you inside a landscape of dry woodland, open grassland, and dense jungle where leopards, elephants, sloth bears, peacocks, and crocodiles all share the same territory. It's raw, unpredictable, and completely unlike anything else on a Sri Lanka holiday package.

  • Galle Fort is where the adventure takes a cultural turn. You’ll come across centuries of Portuguese, Dutch, and British history packed inside ocean-facing ramparts, best explored on foot as the sun sets over the harbour.

  • The trip concludes in Colombo. Enjoy a city tour covering the capital's colonial landmarks, vibrant neighbourhoods, and some of the best shopping on any Sri Lanka adventure trip.

  • If you want a Sri Lanka trip that goes further than the usual trail, this is where to start. Plan now.
