Explore Sri Lanka in 9 Days with 3 Star Accommodations & driver

Unforgettable Sri Lanka Experience with Excellent Service

Me and my family had an amazing 9 day family trip to Sri Lanka in April, organized by Destination Plus, and everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. From the very beginning, the communication and planning were excellent. The itinerary was well balanced, covering beautiful beaches, cultural sites, and scenic hill country, giving us a complete experience of Sri Lanka. A special thank you to our driver, Lahiru, who truly made our trip unforgettable. He was always punctual, professional, and incredibly kind. His driving was very safe, and he had great knowledge about the country, sharing interesting information along the way. He was also very flexible and always willing to adjust plans to suit our needs, which made traveling with family so comfortable. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and all arrangements such as hotels and transfers were smooth and hassle free. We really appreciated the attention to detail and the care taken to ensure we had a memorable experience. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, and thanks to Destination Plus and Lahiru, we were able to enjoy it to the fullest without any stress. We highly recommend Destination Plus to anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka. Thank you again for an unforgettable holiday.

Unawatuna Lagoon Canoeing Excursion

Amazing experience. Never...

Amazing experience. Never experienced anything so peaceful. We happened to canoe during the rains so didn’t get to see birds or any wildlife around, but the experience was extremely blissful. The tour provider were also wvry professional and caring. They cared enough to click a picture of us from over the damn on his own.
