10 Days Sri Lanka Grand Discovery Tour
THE BEST TOUR GUIDE
Can’t recommend travelling with Janaka enough! He is charismatic, knowledgeable, friendly and constantly went above and beyond for us. If you want to get the most out of your Sri Lanka trip, book with him!

Canoeing - 100% recommended even for a 1st timer
What an absolute treat for a 1st time experience. The wind was intense because of the rainy season but the view, the thrill. Unmatched. They have options to pay from like Koko or Mintpay if thats an interest to anyone. I believe you can choose between half an hour to 1 hour depending on which booking portal youre on. But I recommend getting in touch with the team. Such amazing, devouted people who even offered to reschedule because of the weather.
