RAINBOW TOURS SRI LANKA

INSPIRATION FOR A LIFETIME!

Rainbow Tours offers an unbeatable combination of tailor made tour packages (1 day to multi night ), with travel advice based on over 40 years of experience backed up by professional, highly praised, safe drivers using tourist standard vehicles. Let us show you our island’s fabulous treasures in security and comfort!

Known as the ‘Jade Pendant in the Indian Ocean’ – explorer Marco Polo’s favourite island – Sri Lanka is perhaps as close to “Paradise” as you’ll get anywhere on this planet! Indeed, many believe it was the original “Garden of Eden” with Adam’s huge footprint implanted on the summit of the island’s sacred pilgrimage peak – Mt Sri Pada (Adam’s peak).

The miracle is that so much diversity is held in such a geographically small region blessed with friendly and welcoming inhabitants and a delightfully varied climate to suit all tastes. There are very few other tourist locations where you can explore:

No less than 8 Unesco World Heritage sites (6 cultural – including ancient ruined cities going back thousands of years – and 2 Natural).

Some of the world’s best beaches with highest quality surfing (+ wind & kite surfing), scuba diving over pristine coral reefs, whale/dolphin/turtle watching.

All kinds of sports – including golf, tennis and cricket.

Wildlife safaris to view Elephants, Leopards among a rich variety of fauna.

Nature trail Rainforest trekking with Bird Watching.

White river rafting/canoeing/kayaking, caving, abseiling, mountain biking, and even (seasonal) hot air ballooning!

The ancient Natural healing science of Ayurveda – using fresh local herbs, leaves and oils – is widely practiced in parallel to allopathic (western) medicine and can be experienced at the more modestly priced eco-tourism village level right through to expensive beach-side spas. We can recommend authentic, professional establishments at all prices.

Many visitors also come to enjoy one of the oldest railway systems in the world – still mainly unmodernized! – with spectacular views in the central mountain ranges. The most beautiful scenic section is from Nuwara Eliya to Ella and we can reserve tickets on this busy route (subject to ticket availability 1 month prior).

With such a beautiful setting, the island lends itself to romance and with the gathering trend towards celebrating important personal events in exotic locations, we are especially well placed to help you realize your romantic dream – whether with an inspirational wedding & honeymoon or a traditional ceremony reaffirming and celebrating partnership bonds.

Food is a vital ingredient in any successful holiday and again this abundant island excels in the culinary arts benefitting from an amazing diversity of locally grown, fresh produce and exotic fruit year round. Cookery classes are becoming increasingly popular and we can arrange/recommend suitable options.

Last but not least – where to stay? Again the visitor is spoiled for choice from luxury camping in Nature (even in Tree Houses!), to friendly and inexpensive Guest Houses and B&Bs, standard international tourist quality properties right up to 5 star boutique establishments of fine, international reputation at the top of the scale.

Something for everyone and all pockets. Perhaps best summed up as: “A little bit of everything where no one could ever be bored”
