This company has really impressed me; they are genuinely committed to sustainability and community involvement (just ask - they have many tangible examples)."

Island Adventures was founded in 2015 when two friends (with extensive experience in the travel industry in Sri Lanka) decided to build a business around their passion for showcasing their country at its best. The company is staffed by an expert team and professional guides who consistently deliver to the highest level of service.
