One of the history's most famous explorers, Marco Polo, declared Sri Lanka simply the finest island in the world, and it's known as a Pearl of the Indian Ocean thanks to its astonishing natural beauty.

Our tours to Sri Lanka show you the very best of the country's superb scenery and bring you closer to its diverse wildlife. As soon as you arrive in Colombo, you'll be greeted by warm tropical air, the heady aroma of spices and the vibrant colours of wildflowers. In Yala National Park, you'll hear the sound of a tropical dawn chorus as you wait to spot leopards, water buffalo, saltwater crocodiles, wild boar, sloth bears, and a huge variety of birdlife as well as its most famous residents, elephants - the herd is over 300 strong. Discover four of Sri Lanka's UNESCO World Heritage sites - the Golden Temple Dambulla, the sacred city of Kandy, Sigiriya and the old town Galle Fort - and explore the lush forests of the interior with the vast plantations of tea, rubber and coconuts.
