Sri Lanka Odyssey: East Coast Beaches, Highlands & Southern Shores

Colombo → Negombo 14 days Up to 10

About this trip

Fourteen days across Sri Lanka's east coast, highlands and southern shores, mixing wildlife, culture and a fair bit of adrenaline. You'll move between ancient cave temples, tea country and beach towns, with an expert guide and private vehicle throughout.

Expect a proper mix of pace: safaris and temple visits alongside rock climbing, surfing, white water rafting and waterfall bathing. There's also a ride on Sri Lanka's famous hill country train line, with the kind of views that make you put your phone down.

Accommodation is at family-friendly resorts, meals lean into local Sri Lankan cooking, and the trip is fully guided from start to finish, so logistics are taken care of.

What you'll do

  • Explore ancient cave temples
  • Go on wildlife safaris to spot local flora and fauna
  • Try rock climbing, surfing and white water rafting
  • Bathe under waterfalls
  • Ride the scenic highlands train line
  • Enjoy a beach party on the coast
Good to know
  • Active trip — expect several adventure activities alongside sightseeing, not just a beach holiday
  • Family-friendly resorts throughout, suited to a relaxed base each night rather than constant moving on
  • Fully guided with private vehicle transport, so little to organise yourself
