Embark on a Colombo City and Shopping Tour, exploring landmarks like the iconic Gangaramaya Temple, a significant Buddhist site known for its diverse architectural influences. The temple is not just a place of worship but also a cultural and educational center, featuring intricate carvings and a sacred Bodhi tree.

Proceed to the beautiful Sigiriya Rock Fortress, which consists of 1,200 steps. The first part of the visit is a leisurely walk through the pleasure gardens, followed by the climb. There are two areas where you can take a break on the way up. The entire experience takes approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on your climbing speed.

Next, trek through an archetypal Sri Lankan village. The trek begins with a scenic walk along a bund of a Wewa (manmade reservoir). The amazing birdlife, butterflies, and possible sightings of crocodiles add to the charm of the trek. Observe the villagers as they go about their early morning tasks of fishing or washing clothes at the lake's periphery. Initially, you wade through a shallow stream and then cross a wider tributary in a catamaran with an obliging farmer to inspect Chena cultivation (slash-and-burn agriculture). Enjoy the farmer's humble hospitality, and with the guidance of the farmer, pick some fresh vegetables from the plot.

Return to the hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure.

Can you book my international airfares?

On some Islands Holiday Packages (e.g. Fiji), it is practical to include flights, so where we have done this it is indicated by the plane icon.

However, on the majority of our Holiday Packages, we do not include international flights.

We found that many customers may prefer to:

Travel on a specific airline of their choice
Have the flexibility to book flights with Frequent Flyer points
Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline
Use their travel agent for this service

We are able to assist with flights on any Holiday Package, so please just notify us during the Book Now process or contact our team.

Should I take travel insurance?

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.

What should I do before travelling?

Before you travel it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate documentation including visas. If you are travelling on a passport other than Australian or New Zealand, you will require a permit to re-enter Australia. It is your responsibility as the traveller and/or travel booker to meet all government entry requirements.
