Here at Scott Dunn, our destination experts know the very best things to do in Sri Lanka, having explored the country from every angle to find you the most exclusive and memorable experiences, all guided by knowledgeable insiders.

If there’s one thing you must do in Sri Lanka, it’s a wildlife safari, with the country home to many magnificent national parks teeming with animals. The Wilpattu National Park is one of the best Sri Lanka attractions, offering full and half-day safaris where you’ll get to see elephants, giraffes, and even leopards if you’re lucky.

For those looking for an exhilarating adventure, a hike through the Knuckles Reserve Forest is a spectacular experience. On a safari or hiking tour, we’ll even book you fantastic local guides that will show you the best off-grid spots and nature’s highlights.

Meanwhile, if you’re keen to try a fun and active pursuit during your trip, we can even arrange for private surf lessons, as Sri Lanka serves up fantastic surf along the south coast. After you’ve hit the waves, you can then kick back and relax with a cocktail as you watch the sunset from the beach. Bliss.

Foodies will no doubt love the local cuisine, with Sri Lankan dishes renowned for their unique flavors and delicious combinations. Why not let us arrange a private cookery course for you, ready to impress your friends and family when you’re home?
