Why we love it
Visit the ramparts around sunset and walk around the fort walls while learning of the Portuguese, Dutch, and British history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Take a boat trip to spot whales about an hour off the southern coast. While sighting blue whales and sperm whales, keep an eye out for spinner and bottlenose dolphins.
Bike through green paddy fields to the coast, ending at the beach for a swim and a cocktail.
Explore Koggala Lake by boat, visiting the Talathuduwa Temple and a spice garden. Stop at a small island to meet a couple who harvest cinnamon and float through a bird sanctuary.
Visit the Handunugoda tea estate to tour the factory, learn how to produce tea, have a sampling and discover their specialty white tea.
Prepare traditional Sri Lankan rice and curry based on recipes handed down from generation to generation.
Beginners and experts alike can catch a wave at many of Sri Lanka's southern beaches, which offer a variety of surf conditions.
Judy & Chris
We had an amazing holiday in Sri Lanka. All the hotels, transfers, trips and experiences arranged by True Travel were perfect and all the arrangements went seamlessly according to plan. Our guide and driver, Thusita, was a really nice man and so knowledgeable, going out of his way to make sure that we experienced many of the Sri Lankan foods and traditions as possible. I would recommend True Travel to anyone especially if you have not visited the country before.
