What travelers are saying
- Leonora W1 contributionMy partner and I have just completed a fabulous 15 day private tour of Sri Lanka. It was such an enjoyable and memorable holiday thanks to the meticulous planning by this very professional tour company and our fabulous driver and guide Parthum Sathsara.
Communications with Reshani Habaragamuwa were flawless. She tailored an amazing itinerary according to our interests and always responded to emails promptly and courteously. We were very happy with hotel recommendations and the many interesting activities arranged.Our trip was for us a perfect mix of history, culture, wildlife and beaches. Reshani also called us on several occasions during the trip to check we were happy.
However what made our trip exceptional was our good fortune in having Parthem as our guide.From the moment he collected us from Colombo airport in the early hours of the morning he did everything he could to make our holiday perfect. He was always cheerful,polite,patient and punctual. Parthum’s English is excellent as is his knowledge of history. On the rare occasion Parthum didn’t know the answer to a question he soon found out.He skilfully handled the challenges of driving in Sri Lanka and our car was always immaculate. Parthum took us to or recommended wonderful restaurants and was able to secure the best seating at a cultural show and an early check in when requested. Our days flowed seamlessly due to his organisation and ability to quickly make rearrangements when necessary. We spent a lot of time in Parthum’s company and it was always a pleasure.
We had a wonderful experience in beautiful Sri Lanka courtesy of Blue Lanka Tours, Parthum Sathsara and the lovely Sri Lankan people.Written February 18, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was exhilarating to use our brains to detect clues and unlocking chests & doors.Written December 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nikkinick17 contributionsMy tour was simply fabulous with my tour guide Pink Panther. I was able to view areas of columbo while touring Galle. Pink Panther provided me with excellent service by accommodating me to view the sites I was interested in only. The tour started promptly. We went fruit sampling/shopping at local vendors and the fruit was simply yummy/fresh. I never felt rushed, I felt safe at all times, transportation provided was modern and extremely clean. The company was great about responding to any needs/concerns that I had right away. The company help me design the tour that was suitable for me. Galle is a must see while in the area. This is definitely a company to use especially if you are in favor of a company that caters to your needs/wants.Written December 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ben W1 contributionThis was a really fun few hours with a variety of different water activities which I would not hesitate to book again.
The experience included rafting, a zip line into the river and sliding down and jumping off rocks into the water. The guys running it kindly took photographs and videos of us during the experience which we really appreciated. The experience was also exclusive for me and my partner rather than a group experience.
The end to end experience lasted for around 3 hours. I would recommend water shoes if you have them and swim shorts to avoid scratching your legs when sliding down the rocks.Written February 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gerald V1 contribution"Colombo by Jeep" was a great experience which we never thought was available in Colombo. Visiting Sri Lanka after 26 years, I was looking for a way to show my wife and kids, Colombo. This was their first visit to this beautiful country. We were driven by Nirvana Jr who was very knowledgeable and a polite young man. He had a lot of patience to show and explain every venue. We will be taking back to Australia fun memories of our tour. Thank you.Written February 3, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Darren BFelixstowe, UK72 contributionsThe Perfect Honeymoon in Sri Lanka!
My wife and I spent 10 amazing days in Sri Lanka for our honeymoon, and Lush Sri Lankan Holidays made sure everything was absolutely perfect!
We stayed in two incredible hotels - Vista Vie on the south coast, right by the beach, and Wala Kulu in the hills. Both were just stunning! Great food, super friendly staff, and the team at Lush Sri Lankan even arranged some lovely surprises for us, which made the trip even more special.
Everything was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. If you’re planning a trip to Sri Lanka, definitely reach out to the team at Lush Sri Lankan Holidays - you won’t regret it!Written February 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
