Family trip with beach stay, wildlife and culture
Sri Lanka has many surprises: endless white beaches, tropical palm tree forests and jungle as many children only know from the fairy tale books. But with this family trip, a dream world becomes reality. The route takes your family past the hidden gems of Sri Lanka. With new beautiful places and special encounters every day.
Beneath the shimmering waves of the east coast at Trincomalee lies a special underwater world. If you want to dive, you can also discover the many colors that are hidden under the blue water surface while snorkeling. If you go further out to sea, the dolphins will go with you. Playfully they jump out of the water and follow your boat, showing their tricks to everyone. Inland, it is the elephants that attract attention. Not only the largest specimens with their impressive stature, but also the little ones in the elephant sanctuary. These imposing animals belong here and know their way around, they lead you safely through the jungle.
