Grand Island Loop
Our most complete journey — twelve days from Negombo to the south coast, an included blue-whale boat off Mirissa, two days in Yala leopard country, the Ella Rock hike, the Sacred Tooth in Kandy and a Sigiriya village-life day to close.
This package can be customised to your liking
A slow, full loop designed for travellers who want to see everything without rushing — coastal mornings, an included Mirissa whale-watching boat, two days of Yala safari, the Ella Rock hike, the Sacred Tooth in Kandy and the Sigiriya rock fortress.
Two-night stays in Yala, Ella and Sigiriya let you settle in. On the final Sigiriya day we swap the spice garden for a village tuk-tuk + bullock cart morning and a real Sri Lankan cooking class with a local family.
