Choose your hotel level

Each level remains a complete package. Only the accommodation standard, vehicle level, meal plan and experience detail change.

East Coast season: Sri Lanka Tourism identifies the May–September southwest-monsoon period as a strong time to explore the eastern dry-zone destinations including Trincomalee and Arugam Bay. October–November is more transitional, so Trustker reconfirms sea conditions and marine activity operation for the exact travel dates.

Marine activities: Swimming, snorkeling, diving, Pigeon Island trips, whale/dolphin watching, lagoon trips and other marine activities depend on sea/weather conditions, park/supplier operation and current local rules. Boat, guide, equipment and entrance charges are separate unless specifically included in the final quotation.

Family planning: Family packages use family-suitable hotel examples and protected leisure time. Child pricing depends on exact ages, room occupancy and the selected hotel's child policy; water activities are arranged only when age, swimming ability and local conditions are suitable.
