Private tours with your own chauffeur guide, from four days to a fortnight. Tell us the dates and the pace. We do the rest from our office in Colombo.
Ceylon Carriers Travels is a Colombo company that has planned Sri Lanka for visitors since 1973. Every tour below is private: your own air-conditioned vehicle, an English-speaking chauffeur guide, half-board hotels and airport transfers both ways.
Pick a route, then change anything you like. Most guests do. The four-day tour is where first visits start. The ten-day circuit is for people who want the whole island in one go.
From a four-day taster to a fortnight of Ayurveda. Every tour is priced per person on double sharing once we know your dates, hotels and season.

The same five things on every route, so the quote you get is the trip you take.
Rates are quoted per person on double sharing. Every package can be changed to suit you.
Most visitors apply online for an Electronic Travel Authorisation before they fly. The rules differ by nationality and change from year to year, so tell us your passport when you enquire and we will confirm exactly what applies to you.
There is always a good coast. December to March suits the west and south coasts and the hill country. April to September favours the east coast around Trincomalee and Arugam Bay. The cultural triangle works all year round.
Private. Each tour runs in your own air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking chauffeur guide, so the pace and the stops are yours. Nobody else is on the itinerary unless you bring them.
Yes. Every route on this page is a starting point. Swap hotels, add nights, drop a city or add whale watching in Mirissa between November and April. Send us your dates and we will rebuild it around you.
Message us on WhatsApp with your dates, the number of travellers and the route you like. Prices are per person on double sharing and depend on the season and the hotels you choose, so we quote each trip properly instead of printing one number that may not fit yours.
Send your dates and how many of you are travelling. You'll get a route, hotels and a price for your trip, not a brochure.
