Everyday was magical- the views, the activities, the vibes, the tour guide, the people. Such a vibrant, exciting range of experiences that were fun, rich in culture, and very memorable. The tour was well organised with lots of hotspots yet also enough free time to relax and take in the beauty of Bali. Our tour guide David went above and beyond to make sure everyone was full of joy. Thank you One life, will be hitting you up for Japan next year :)

It’s a great tour and you get to see so much of Sri Lanka without feeling like you’re on a tour and being told what to do. Sri Lanka would be difficult to travel around alone so the tour took off a lot of pressure and meant I could relax.
We did such a range of activities on the tour which was awesome and meant we got to see so much of Sri Lanka. Loved the safaris, Ella train and beaches down south.
Dave was such an awesome tour guide! He is easy to get along with, could have a laugh and consistently went out of his way to make sure we were enjoying the trip, having fun and being looked after. He made this trip so much better! The guys in Sri Lanka (Ravi, Morgan and Bobby) also did an awesome job looking after us. They consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were safe, enjoying ourselves and being looked after by the locals.
Couldn’t recommend this tour enough and I’ll definitely be trying out the others tours!

The itinerary takes to you to a bunch of awesome places the country has to offer and there is a real focus on helping locals and being environmentally conscious.
One Life uses a local guide as well as a western guide, this means that you get both the local insight / knowledge and someone who knows about the western world that can explain further and provide perspective from their experience gathered whilst living in the country.
There is also a local driver and assistant that help you navigate to each of your stops, and who will go above and beyond to make your trip comfortable.
On my trip I feel as though I got one of the best combos staff wise the One Life Sri Lanka team has to offer. Dave was my One Life guide and was an all round good egg; any question or request was addressed with a genuine effort to answer it or fulfil it. Dave was able to have a laugh and provide a bit of banter whilst still being professional enough and make sure things ran smoothly.
Ravi was my local Sri Lankan guide; this man was a wealth of knowledge, with over 30 years of experience working as a guide in Sri Lanka. With a never ending supply of random facts and answers to any question, this man had a great attitude and was fully committed to providing the best experience to people visiting his country.
My driver was Bobby and his offsider was Morgan; these two guys always had a smile to greet you with and put in a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure travel logistic ran smoothly. While Bobby makes sure you get to where you need to be on time and safely, Morgan is like a coiled spring ready to help with any incidentals that come up in the in between.
This trip will provide you with the chance to see amazing views after some great hikes, chances for you to immerse yourself in local cuisine and industry, whilst learning about the vast history of this beautiful country. Beaches, mountains, yoga, hikes, waterfalls, wildlife, and opportunities to make great friends are all available to be found in this trip.

Dave and Ravi makes the trip go smooth and flawless, and funny! And Morgan and Bobby take care of the driving, the bags and everything we need on a long trip. They have been excellent. Just sit back and enjoy the trip.
My highlight was just hamring with the group and the guys from One Life at night with good food and som drinks.
But if I has to pick on spesific thing, I think my favorite is Ella.

I loved the scenery, elephants, swimming in the waterfalls and the epic train ride! It was really well paced and we experienced so much! The guides really made the trip! Dave made it such fun! His passion and positive attitude were infectious! Ravi shared such knowledge and experience! It was awesome hanging with the local guys! Awesome trip!
Worth doing! The country has so many hidden wonders and one life is top notch at finding them. The organisation was excellent and our tour guide was ready to sort out anything you need.

The organisation was excellent and our tour guide was ready to sort out anything you need. They cannot do enough for you. I would say if someone is more introverted, it may not be the right one for them as most of them time is spent as a group.
The variety of places that we visited made the trip so different each day, I felt like I got to see so many aspects of sri lanka.
The cooking class was so special and I can't wait to cook when I get home.
The optional activity to do yoga in the morning in Ella was one of my main highlights. The view and the peace to start the day - never had anything like it.
Loved the nights out, meal options and our tour guide, both local and one life worked like a dream team.

Do it! Worth every penny and you see the best bits of Sri Lanka and go of the hidden tracks
Would like to say a huge shout out to Dave, Ravi, Bobby and Morgan for being actual legends and making this …Do it! Worth every penny and you see the best bits of Sri Lanka and go of the hidden tracks
Would like to say a huge shout out to Dave, Ravi, Bobby and Morgan for being actual legends and making this the best trip going. We all felt so safe and had such an amazing time!
Some best parts were safaris, whale watching, train ride and group cricket and volley ball on the beach (I must say we had the best group!)
The ‘spa’ was an experience in itself even if it took days and numerous showers to get the bowl of oil outta my hair.
Corona virus didn’t stop us, we had the best time!!
Would recommend this trip to anyone!
The guys all went above and beyond expectations, flexible and a lot of fun! Its a must do trip!
Always doing something, never a dull time, great people, great times!!
