Sri Lanka Tours for Families
Sri Lanka is a great destination for families, with wildlife-rich national parks, great food, and blissful beaches as well as numerous cultural sites to explore. Our family holidays in Sri Lanka come with all the same benefits as our Signature group tours, including the services of our expert guides, airport transfers, great accommodation, and loads of included sightseeing. There's also a bit more free time than on our group tours, for you to unwind beside the hotel swimming pool as a family. Our family tours are suitable for children aged 5+, and we have a tour for teenagers which is suitable for those aged 10+. Get in touch today to find out more.
Private Tours of Sri Lanka
We have a range of options in Sri Lanka for those who prefer the idea of travelling privately, with just their friends or family, instead of on a group tour. These trips can be booked off the shelf with a range of accommodation standards, are escorted by a guide, and include airport transfers. There is also plenty of guided sightseeing in Colombo, Kandy, Dambulla and Sigiriya, as well as in less well-known destinations in Sri Lanka's north, such as Jaffna and Trincomalee. Plus why not bolt on a Maldives beach break to your Sri Lanka private tour?
Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit Sri Lanka for general sightseeing?
Despite Sri Lanka being a relatively small country, the weather varies widely across the island from one month to the next. Generally speaking December to March is the ideal season for travelling around Sri Lanka as it's mostly dry, warm, and sunny across most of the country.
What is the standard of hotels on your trips?
We use a mix of modern 4 - 5 star hotels and heritage properties on our trips. Most boast an outdoor swimming pool, which is great for cooling off after a day of sightseeing. Others are popular for their colonial charm and antique features. You can find out which hotels we regularly use on our group tours on the relevant tour page for each of our trips.
What sort of transport do you use?
On our Signature tours you'll be travelling in comfortable A/C private vehicles, the size of which will depend on the size of the group on that departure. We also include a scenic ride on the train between Kandy and Nuwara Eliya so you can sample the local transport and relax while the train slowly plies its route through verdant hills and tea plantations. While in the Cultural Triangle, you'll also travel by jeep and canoe to reach the village of Kayanwala for an insight into Sri Lanka's rural way of life.
How big are your Sri Lanka tour groups and what is the age of your travellers?
Our Signature escorted tours in Sri Lanka have a maximum group size of 24 though the average is around 14 on our more popular itineraries. If you're choosing a tour that visits more off-the-beaten-path spots, like our 12-day Sri Lanka Northeast Explorer tour, then the group size is often just 4-6 travellers. Our travellers are anywhere between the late 20s to late 60s in age, with an average age of around 48 - 50. And you'll find a real mix of ages on most departures. As long as you are relatively active and have a thirst for adventure, you'll get along just fine!
Can I combine my Sri Lanka package with a tour of India?
Sri Lanka lies off the south coast of India, and many travellers to the region like to visit the larger neighbour at the same time as a trip to Sri Lanka. Our Delhi to Colombo 15-day group tour starts in the Indian capital and takes in the highlights of the Golden Triangle, including Jaipur and the Taj Mahal in Agra. There's then a flight to Colombo (not included in the tour price) where you go on to explore the many highlights of Sri Lanka.
Is Sri Lanka a safe destination for travellers from the LGBTQ+ community?
According to the 2022 LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index, Sri Lanka scores an F rating for LGBTQ+ traveller safety, ranking 171st out of 203 countries. Same sex marriage is illegal and there are no constitutional or worker protections in place for the LGBTQ+ community. 0 - 25% of consulted citizens consider Sri Lanka a good place to live for gay and lesbian people. Laws prevent the discussion of pro-LGBTQ+ issues and homosexual intercourse results in 10 years in prison plus a fine. Gross indecency is punishable by up to 2 years in prison and a fine. This does not mean members of the LGBTQ+ community shouldn’t visit Sri Lanka, but precautions should be taken when travelling. As long as you use common sense, travelling in Sri Lanka shouldn’t be a problem. The LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index is designed to provide a good overall picture of attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community in each country and may not reflect the experience of foreign travellers to the country
Can I drink the tap water?
The tap water in Sri Lanka is unsafe to drink, and may make you unwell. To avoid this, stick to bottled and filtered water, and avoid eating foods such as salads, which may have been washed using tap water.
