Luxury Family Tours & Holidays Sri Lanka

Safaris will leave you wide-eyed, spotting elephants, monkeys, and perhaps a leopard on a private game drive through Yala National Park. Children can also partake in junior programmes at select lodges that create age-perfect wildlife excursions, which don’t require long drives or silent viewing.

From Wilpattu’s leopards to Gal Oya’s boat safaris, families can experience Sri Lanka’s wildlife from every angle. Younger travellers will love hearing stories by the campfire, while older children enjoy spotting elephants swimming in Senanayake Samudraya Lake.

Families can relax on Sri Lanka’s sun-drenched coasts where children can snorkel in Tangalle’s calm waters or try their first surf lesson on the South Coast. Teens will love the lively beach cafés and the chance to explore Galle’s seaside history before watching the sunset from the ramparts.

For those looking to dig into the surf scene, older children and teens can learn to ride the mellow waves of Weligama with private surf lessons tailored to their level. It’s a fun, active way for families to spend time together in one of Sri Lanka’s most welcoming surf spots.

Families can hop aboard the scenic Kandy-to-Hatton train, winding past emerald tea hills and local villages. Watch the changing landscapes through open carriage windows on this unforgettable ride into Tea Country.

Families can wander through lush tea estates, learning how to pick leaves before sampling fresh brews with a lunch picnic. Parents can unwind at the world-class spas with Ayurvedic treatments or seek out more fun at Kandy’s Royal Botanical Gardens.

Explore Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle as a family, from ascending Sigiriya Rock Fortress to discovering ancient palace ruins in Polonnaruwa. Guided tours bring history to life for children, sparking curiosity about the island’s remarkable past.
