If you’re short on time but want to experience the amazing culture of Sri Lanka then this is the ideal tour. Amazing food, sights and people. Can’t wait to come back!

This is a superb snapshot of Sri Lanka - such a variety of things packed into a short space of time.

Fantastic tour if limited time in Sri Lanka. Chance to see so many highlights without it feeling too frantic. Our leader, Sam, was knowledgeable, an engaging teacher and a positive, high-energy guide. Note most activities were necessary to stay with the group for the day. Also, hotels were very basic (as advertised).

Another excellent tour from intrepid! Simply Sri Lanka excellent tour if on a budget or you haven’t got much time. Learned so much about the country and culture. If you not been to Sri Lanka you need to visit it, it’s beautiful :)

Amazing trip to Sri Lanka! Great tour guide who was always helpful and kind, couldn’t have asked for more.

A jam packed Intrepid tour was the perfect introduction to my first group tour. a great group of people who I now call friends. A wonderful and very personable leader in Chathu and a fantastic destination in Sri Lanka. Snorkelling, hiking Lion Rock, elephant safari, yoga, turtle conservation visit, beautiful beaches, wonderful meals and accommodation. I would highly recommend everyone do this for their first visit to Sri Lanka. I will be back.

This was my first Intrepid trip, I went on my own and was a bit nervous as to whether I would get along with everyone as I'm not very extroverted however I didn't need to worry. The group got along and took me under their wing, and our tour guide Chathu was very approachable and knowledgeable. And Sri Lanka was just beautiful and vibrant. Highly recommend!

This was my first solo travel trip and my first with Intrepid. It was such a great way to explore the country and had a good range of activities including wildlife, cultural sites, and some walking/hiking. It was also great meeting everyone in the group from all over the world, and our group leader Prageeth was very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Simply Sri Lanka gives a good introduction to a fascinating country. The key centres are visited with the coast, historic and nature aspects all included. The Guide's knowledge and organisational skills added to this short visit, which I think will bring many back for a longer stay.

I would highly recommend using intrepid! The tour was planned out so well and the staff couldn’t have been nicer! I would highly recommend for both solo or group travellers.

Excellent trip with enjoyable trips, weather, food, people, Hotels and mostly group leader. However, unlike previous Intrepid trip, some additional activities were expensive which we had to pay for

I highly recommend this package! It was an amazing way to experience Sri Lanka and create friends along the way, no matter the age difference!

Excellent introduction to the beautiful island of Sri Lanka for those with a limited time frame. This trip covers some highlights of the coast as well as the interior and gives you a flavour of the country without feeling rushed. Friendly guides, beautiful scenery and delicious food, don't hesitate just book it, you won't regret it!

Nilanga! He was the best tour guide ever. I wish I could have done another week with him.

This was my first tour ever. It was such a great entry level trip to Sri Lanka. My guide was the biggest highlight for me and was so accomodating to everyone. I met some amazing people in my group and I can’t wait to go on another Intrepid trip.

This trip was truly a life changing experience. I was able to connect with the people and our guide Hashan in a way that I hadn't imagined, the itinerary was enough to cover the basics and make me want to discover more. We've lived a true local experience and laughed so much, I can't wait to book another Intrepid tour!

Where to begin!? We were lucky to have such a sumptuous group of people that I'm beyond grateful to be a part of. Hashan was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of Sri Lankan history and his cheeky grin was enjoyed by the whole group. I was truly mesmerised by the gemstone tour, particularly the introduction video which highlighted the blue topaz, green topaz, purple topaz, orange topaz, red topaz and white topaz. The wildlife was pretty special too with one of the tour members lucky enough to get an up close and personal experience with a bat in one of our accommodation stays. The breakfast sausages were also a mainstay in my culinary experience as was the very authentic street food tour and the overall service at most venues was exemplary. Overall, a great trip and one that I would recommend xoxo

My first Intrepid tour. Exceptional tour guide, and support throughout. Highly recommend!

What an amazing tour of a wonderful country. The sights, people and activities are out of this world and a trip I will cherish forever. Cham was an incredible leader and friend… book this trip!

Amazing trip with everything you need to see in a short time with expert guides
