Tour Overview

This 10-day Sri Lanka honeymoon tour is paced for couples rather than checklisted sightseeing: the Cultural Triangle and Kandy come first, then the misty hill country around Nuwara Eliya and Ella, a Yala National Park safari, and a slow finish on Unawatuna beach. The private vehicle and flexible daily schedule leave room for quiet time together, not just moving between sites.

Tour Highlights

  Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Dambulla Cave Temple
  Little Adam's Peak and Ravana Falls near Ella
  Nuwara Eliya's tea country and Horton Plains
  Full-day safari inside Yala National Park
  Unawatuna beach at leisure
  Fully private vehicle and chauffeur throughout
