An honest, up to date view from our team on the ground in Colombo.

Sri Lanka is a straightforward country to travel and tourism is running normally across the island.

Take the same precautions you would anywhere: watch your belongings in Colombo, swim only where the flags say, and treat the sea on the south coast with respect during the monsoon.

Our team is on the ground, so guidance is current rather than second hand. We update itineraries when local conditions change.
