  This amazing tour around Sri Lanka was filled with adventure, safaris, wildlife, culture, history, hiking, natural beauty and relaxing on the beach. We were met at Colombo airport by Jagath, our private tour guide and driver who made us feel instantly welcome. Throughout the tour, Jagath was always prompt, reliable, helpful and extremely informative. His knowledge of Sri Lanka was exceptional. We were even lucky enough to be the first tour in his brand new car and we felt completely safe and comfortable driving to each destination. We also appreciated the cool aircon and complimentary bottled water each day. We were very happy with the selection of hotels we stayed at, some more so than others, and they included a great selection of dishes for breakfast and dinner. All the excursions on this tour were a great way to experience all that Sri Lanka has to offer, and we loved every minute of it!Show more

  Our 14-day journey through Sri Lanka with Exotic Perla's expert guide and driver Buddhika was nothing short of extraordinary—a heartfelt adventure that my daughter and I will treasure for a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in a country overflowing with rich native history, vibrant traditions, breathtaking landscapes, and beautiful colonial charm. Every destination revealed a new layer of Sri Lanka’s soul, blending ancient wonders with warm hospitality in the most unforgettable way. Traveling through Sri Lanka in April was absolutely perfect. Not only did we experience beautiful weather during the mornings, the countries breathtaking lightning and thunder storms did not disappoint. This made for spectacular photos and video. While April is Sri Lankan New Year, the month of May holds deep significance for Buddhists across the country, for those wishing to witness interesting cultural events. For anyone considering this remarkable destination, two weeks should truly be the minimum. To fully appreciate Sri Lanka’s incredible diversity, three or more weeks would be ideal. The tour itself was exceptionally well-curated, packed with unforgettable activities, breathtaking sights, and meaningful cultural experiences. See 'Sri Lanka Grand Discovery Circuit.' Despite the heat and humidity, Exotic Perla was wonderfully flexible, allowing us to adjust our itinerary to suit our needs and comfort. This thoughtful personalization made our journey even more enjoyable and seamless. A truly shining part of our experience was our exceptional guide, Buddhika what an absolute treasure—professional, knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely caring. His dedication went far beyond that of a tour guide. He treated my daughter with such kindness and protectiveness, like family, while showing me curiosity, attentiveness, and great respect. His passion for Sri Lanka and commitment to creating unforgettable memories elevated this trip beyond anything we could have imagined. Our adventure was filled with remarkable highlights. Climbing the awe-inspiring (Lion’s Rock) was both humbling and exhilarating, offering spectacular views and a profound connection to Sri Lanka’s ancient past. Witnessing majestic elephants in their natural habitat at Hurulu Eco Park was a magical experience we will never forget. Whitewater rafting brought thrilling excitement, while visiting the rescue dogs at Dogs of Ella sanctuary touched our hearts deeply. Our remarkably intuitive tour guide surprised us with this visit and we couldn't have been happier. Among our favorite destinations, the enchanting town of Ella. It completely captured our hearts with its misty mountain views, cool air, stylish restaurants, trendy bars, and magical atmosphere. It felt like a hidden paradise nestled in the hills. Kandy, by contrast, offered a bustling yet soulful city experience, with the serene beauty of Kandy Lake at it's center. My personal highlight in Kandy was visiting the sacred Tooth Relic Temple —an extraordinary spiritual and cultural landmark that left a lasting impression on me. This journey was so much more than a holiday—it was a deeply enriching bonding experience for my daughter and me, made extraordinary by the exceptional care, professionalism, and heartfelt service of Exotic Perla and Buddhika Herath. We leave Sri Lanka with hearts overflowing with gratitude, unforgettable memories, and profound admiration for this beautiful country. If you are considering exploring, we wholeheartedly recommend Exotic Perla. Their flexibility, professionalism, and genuine care transformed our travels into the adventure of a lifetime.
