A Perfect Escape into Paradise - Sri Lanka wasn’t just a trip it was a feeling I’ll carry forever.
From the moment I stepped onto this beautiful island, everything felt different — calmer, brighter, and... read more full of life. The beaches of Weligama gave me some of the best moments, with its soothing waves, golden sunsets, and an energy that instantly lifts your soul.
Every place I visited had its own charm — lush greenery, peaceful surroundings, and breathtaking views that made me pause and just take it all in. It’s not just about the places, but the vibe Sri Lanka gives you pure positivity.
What truly made this journey special was the people. The warmth and kindness of Sri Lanka made me feel at home, no matter where I went.
This journey was more than travel — it was a collection of unforgettable memories, emotions, and moments of pure happiness.

An Unforgettable Senior Holiday in Sri Lanka - Our senior citizen getaway to Sri Lanka was an absolutely wonderful experience — we truly enjoyed every moment of the holiday.
A special thank you goes to our tour... read more director, Sharon DeSilva, who did an amazing job organising the trip and thoughtfully accommodating our needs throughout. Her attention to detail and flexibility made all the difference. Having a private tour allowed us the freedom to adjust plans along the way, which made the experience even more relaxed and enjoyable. Our driver, Thushara DeSilva, was equally fantastic — always helpful, friendly, and committed to making our journey smooth and pleasant.
The hotels we stayed in were first class, providing comfort, excellent service, and a perfect place to unwind after each day of exploring.
One of the most unforgettable highlights of our trip was visiting the elephant orphanage — a truly special and memorable experience that will stay with us forever. Another incredible moment was swimming with the turtles at Turtle Beach, which was simply magical.
We also really appreciated the option of half board, with breakfast and a main meal included each day. This made everything so easy and stress-free, allowing us to focus on enjoying the trip without worrying about meal arrangements.
Overall, it was a beautifully organised and deeply enjoyable holiday that we will always cherish.

We had a fantastic time and everything was taken care of from the time we were picked up from the... read more airport by our driver Thushara De Silva until we were dropped off again.
The beauty of our tour was that we could change it as we went along to suit us and our driver/guide was always helpful and happy to do so. Sri Lanka is a great and cultural country and has something for everyone. It is also very reasonably priced and great value for money. We are definitely going back and we will be using Sharon and the Getaway team again.
