"We had the most remarkable “Girls” trip to Sri Lanka/Maldives in April 2022. So much more than expected. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted to Sri Lanka by our guide, Dilan Dushmantha Fernando. We felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere, we had a fantastic start."

Traveler Stories

What Our Clients Say

Don't just take our word for it - hear from travelers who've experienced Sri Lanka with us.

I would like to recommend Dilan and his team. We travelled through Sri Lanka with Dilan of Island Hope Travels during summer 2023. We had the most amazing, unforgettable trip which was made all the more special due to the professionalism, reliability and knowledge of Dilan as our driver.

Taunton, Somerset

"I had a wonderful experience with Dilan's travel agency, thanks to his availability and professionalism. He made it possible for my partner and I to explore Sri Lanka for 10 days, accompanied by Mr. Krishanta — a trustworthy, polite, and helpful person. Everything was handled in an open and transparent way, which we truly appreciated."

Bianca Scacciati

"The culinary tour arranged by Island Hopes was phenomenal! We got to cook with local chefs, visit spice gardens, and dine in places we'd never find on our own. A truly immersive food experience."

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services and travel in Sri Lanka.

How far in advance should I book my trip?

We recommend booking at least 3-6 months in advance for peak season (December to April) to ensure availability at preferred accommodations. For other times, 1-3 months is usually sufficient. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible, but options may be limited.

What's included in your tour packages?

Our packages typically include accommodation, transportation, guide services, and some meals/activities as specified. We can also arrange flights, travel insurance, and special experiences upon request. Each package is customized, so inclusions vary based on your preferences.

Can you accommodate special dietary requirements?

Absolutely. Sri Lankan cuisine is diverse and can accommodate most dietary needs. Just let us know about any restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies, etc.) when booking, and we'll ensure all restaurants and accommodations are informed.

What's your cancellation policy?

Our cancellation policy varies depending on the services booked. Generally, deposits are refundable up to 60 days before travel, with decreasing percentages as the departure date approaches. We strongly recommend travel insurance to protect against unforeseen circumstances.

Is Sri Lanka safe for travelers?

Sri Lanka is generally very safe for travelers. We take extra precautions with transportation partners, accommodations, and guides to ensure your safety. Our 24/7 support line is always available if you need assistance during your trip.
