Sri Lanka Group Tours
for Solo Travellers

Our Sri Lanka trips are built for travellers aged 18–39, with most people in their 20s and 30s and a great mix of ages on every trip. We know age is something a lot of people think about before booking, especially when joining a group of people they haven’t met before. But as you’ll see from our reviews, once you arrive and start getting to know everyone, age quickly becomes the last thing on your mind. It’s much more about the people you meet and the experiences you share along the way.

Our Sri Lanka trips have around 12–16 travellers on average. We like to keep our groups small and personal, so you’ll get to know everyone pretty quickly and never feel like you’re part of a huge tour group. It’s a great balance of having plenty of people to share the adventure with, while still keeping that relaxed, travelling-with-friends vibe. Think of it as travelling with a bunch of friends, with your Group Leader being that one organised friend who knows the plan each day!

Our trips are packed with great activities, but we know having time to do your own thing is just as important. That’s why we build free time into our group tours in Sri Lanka, whether you fancy exploring, relaxing on the beach or heading out for some local food.

And if you’re not sure what to do with it, you won’t be short on recommendations. Our experienced team know Sri Lanka inside out and are always happy to share their favourite spots, places to eat and things to do.

Your trip price includes your accommodation, transport and plenty of unforgettable experiences, with our team on hand to support you throughout the trip. You’ll need to cover your flights, travel insurance and spending money. Prices depend on the trip and departure date, so you’ll find the latest price on each trip page. We also offer flexible deposits and payment plans to help spread the cost.

Once you’ve booked your flights, paid off your trip and got some solid travel insurance, you’ll be all set for that Sri Lanka adventure. We suggest bringing no less than £300/$400, but this should be the bare minimum. We suggest working from an average of £400–500/$500–700 over 2 weeks, which will cover things like shopping, drinks, extra meals and anything else you fancy treating yourself to… maybe a few massages!?

Most of our travellers join us solo, so we’ll pair you up with another traveller of the same gender and similar age from your group. Rooms are twin-share, so you’ll each have your own bed.

Travelling with a friend or partner? We’ll make sure you’re allocated a room together so you can enjoy the experience side by side.

Fancy having your own space? Private room upgrades are available on all our Sri Lanka group trips. You can add this when booking your trip, subject to availability.

Most travellers need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to enter Sri Lanka, which you can apply for online through the official Sri Lankan government website before you travel. A standard tourist ETA allows a 30-day stay, and we recommend applying at least a few days before you fly. Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months from the date you arrive, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel.

Be sure to do your own research, as each country/passport will have different entry requirements and these can change. It’s your responsibility to make sure you’ve ticked all the necessary boxes to enter Sri Lanka hassle-free.

*You must check your visa eligibility as we are not visa experts. The information above is general in nature. Here’s a blog that we put together to help; ‘An Unofficial Visa Guide to Asia & Australia’.

Absolutely! Sri Lanka is a popular destination for solo travellers, and it’s a great place to start if you’re new to travelling on your own. Most people join our trips solo, so you’ll be meeting plenty of others in the same boat and exploring Sri Lanka together from Day 1.

You’ll have support from our team throughout the trip, with your accommodation and transport taken care of, so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about the logistics. As anywhere, it helps to stay aware, look after your belongings and use common sense, and we’ll share local tips along the way.

We’ve got you covered from the moment you land! We include an airport pickup on Day 1, so we’ll be there to meet you and take you to your accommodation in Negombo. Planning to arrive a few days early? No problem! You can add pre-tour accommodation when booking your Sri Lanka trip or request it afterwards, subject to availability. If you book your extra nights with us, your airport pickup is included too!

Around 2 weeks before your trip, we’ll also set up a private WhatsApp group so you can start getting to know your fellow travellers, ask questions and get all the important info before the adventure begins!
