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!

Negombo Lagoon Sunset Boat Cruise and Dutch Canal Tour

Fantastic lagoon tour!

We had a fantastic time touring Negombo Lagoon. We loved the birdlife, monkeys and the sleeping water monitors. The highlights were the mangrove island tour where we got to see the baby mangrove plants, and the sand bar picnic with fresh fruit and coconut drinks. We definitely recommend this tour, it’s a little oasis away from the noise of the city.

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.
