Complete package overview
A very relaxed 16-day complete Sri Lanka holiday designed for senior travellers and guests preferring a gentle pace, including selected hotels, daily breakfast, private chauffeur transport and the listed experiences across Negombo • Sigiriya / Habarana • Kandy • Nuwara Eliya • Ella • Udawalawe • Galle. The route includes accommodation, private chauffeur travel and a planned sightseeing programme. Entrance tickets and variable supplier activity fees are added only when specifically stated or requested in the final quotation. We can adjust nights, hotel category, meal plan, room type and activity level before confirmation.
Choose your hotel level
Each level remains a complete package. Only the accommodation standard, vehicle level, meal plan and experience detail change.
Slow Travel promise: Slow Travel packages intentionally use fewer hotel changes, later starts where practical, protected free time and longer stays in each region. The chauffeur remains private, so sightseeing can be shortened, moved or skipped without forcing the guest to follow a group-tour schedule.
Activities: Optional activities such as safaris, boat trips, train tickets, spa treatments and specialist guides are separately confirmed unless specifically included. A slow-travel day may deliberately contain only one main experience plus leisure time.
Coast season: South and west coast sea conditions vary by travel month. The current Sep–Oct hotel-rate basis can offer good value, but swimming, boat trips and water activities depend on actual weather/sea conditions and are never guaranteed by the public package price.
Wildlife: Udawalawe safari jeep and park fees remain separate unless specifically included. Two nights are used so the safari does not require a rushed arrival/departure sequence.
