Sri Lanka is the kind of place you really need two years to explore on a family holiday, rather than our usual two-week ration. It is just such a fascinating place. Sun and sand aplenty with miles of unspoilt beaches and warm seas. Cool mountainous uplands where the tea plantations are found. Hindu Temples, towering Pagodas, ancient fortresses and giant Buddhas are around every corner. Jungles, working elephants, fishermen on stilts, spice fields, Wilderness Parks, rivers to raft on, bays to snorkel in and everywhere are smiling people for whom the word ‘childfriendly‘ seems to have been invented. So what to do? One solution is to choose a Sri Lankan family Adventure Holiday where the family gets to see a good selection of these wonders. Some lounging on the beach is included but the emphasis is on jeep rides through the jungle, viewing the firewalkers and dancers at a local festival, going out to watch the dolphins and even maybe a bit of white water rafting if you are up for it.  In other words, a family holiday with a difference. A little bit of adventure to give you that special, once in a lifetime, family holiday. All that, some really amazing curries, and the best cup of tea in the world thrown in. Sri Lanka was once called the Isle of Serendip, meaning something discovered by accident that is really lovely. It hasn’t changed! Check out our top selection of Sri Lanka Family Holidays below.
