What Our Guests Say
“I had the most amazing experience. My guide, Lakmal, was so knowledgeable and went above and beyond for my trip. I would definitely recommend travelling Sri Lanka with Rediscover Journeys. I learnt so much about Sri Lanka’s history and culture and had an exceptional journey travelling around the country.”
— Emily Hunt, Australia
“I would rate 10+ stars if I could. We booked our trip through Stjernegaard and Rediscover was our local agency. Manoj, our driver-guide, was always friendly and on time. He provided us with water and snacks every day. He knew everything about his country and we learned a lot about history, nature and culture.”
— Plaia, Denmark
“The journey was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. The 7-day round tour took us across the island (around 1,200 km), giving us a truly diverse experience of Sri Lanka — from lush landscapes and cultural highlights to wildlife and local life. Everything was very well organised, and we always felt in safe and capable hands.”
— Gert Klitgaard Jacobsen, Denmark
“Rediscover as a company was always reachable and in touch with us, and extremely supportive and helpful when we involuntarily had to prolong our stay due to the war in the Middle East. We felt in the safest hands with them all the time and can only recommend the company to anyone planning to travel to Sri Lanka.”
— Gabby, Denmark
“Professional and prepared company. I definitely recommend for exploring Sri Lanka. My driver, Thushara, has been very knowledgeable and offered great insight into the country’s history.”
— Alina, Germany
“We had a wonderful roundtrip in Sri Lanka — beautiful places, good variation in sights, wonderful hotels and a fantastic guide/driver, Sam. We visited the central highlands, the cultural triangle, Sigiriya and Nilaveli.”
— Steinar Eggen Kristensen, Denmark
“We came to Sri Lanka and didn’t know what to expect. However we were overwhelmed by the people, the outstanding nature and the history of the country.”
— Mette Thøgersen, Denmark
“We have had a wonderful tour to Sri Lanka including places like Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella and now Galle. The spectacular landscape at Ella and the herd of elephants we saw close to Sigiriya were absolutely outstanding experiences.”
— Ulla and Brian, Denmark

Plan Your JourneyEverything you need to know about traveling in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is a year-round destination, but the best time depends on which part of the island you plan to explore. The west and south coasts are generally best from December to April, while the east coast is ideal from May to September.
Around 7 to 14 days is a good amount of time to experience Sri Lanka's highlights without rushing. A longer journey allows more time for wildlife, beaches, cultural sites, scenic train journeys and the hill country.
Most international travellers need travel authorisation or a visa to enter Sri Lanka, depending on their nationality and purpose of travel. Travellers should check the latest requirements through official Sri Lankan government channels before travelling.
Sri Lanka is a popular destination for international travellers. As with any destination, visitors should take normal precautions, look after their belongings, use reputable transport and follow local advice.
The official currency is the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). Your budget depends on accommodation, transportation, dining, activities and travel style. Sri Lanka offers everything from budget-friendly experiences to premium hotels and tailor-made luxury travel.
