We did a 7-day private tour of Sri Lanka with Blue Lanka Tours and couldn’t have imagined a better way to experience the country.
Everything was perfectly organised from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the itinerary ran smoothly, and we felt completely looked after the entire time. A special highlight was when they arranged a birthday cake for my mom during the trip — such a thoughtful touch.
Our driver and guide, Thushara Udayanga, was outstanding: knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and always punctual. We felt safe and well cared for throughout the journey.
The mountain scenery and the train ride over the Nine Arches Bridge were unforgettable.
Truly an 11/10 experience — we highly recommend Blue Lanka Tours!

We previously reviewed the planning and booking stage with Blue Lanka Tours, which was excellent. Having now completed our three-week tour of Sri Lanka, we can confidently say the entire holiday exceeded our expectations.Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our main contact, Niwarthana, ensured the itinerary was perfectly organised, and all accommodations were exactly as requested. A special mention goes to our driver-guide Isuru — knowledgeable, professional, and a genuinely lovely person — who looked after us throughout, ensuring safe travel and sharing many memorable laughs along the way.Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, and experiencing it with a company like Blue Lanka Tours, who truly stand above the rest, made the journey exceptional. Highly recommended.Bill & Janet
THE BEST DECISION WE MADE ON OUR SRI LANKA TRIP!From start to finish, our experience with Blue Lanka Tours was simply outstanding. This isn’t just another “I had a nice time” review — this is a full-on recommendation to anyone serious about seeing Sri Lanka properly. Blue Lanka’s reputation for professionalism, responsiveness, and superb organisation is absolutely justified. The moment we booked, Niwarthana, our tour organiser, set the tone. She was prompt, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in designing a trip that reflected what we wanted — not a one-size-fits-all package. It felt like planning with a travel partner who actually cared about our interests and how we wanted to experience the island.Now let’s talk about the real magic on the road — our driver, Pradeep. If there’s one person you want behind the wheel of your Sri Lankan adventure, it’s him. Pradeep is the definition of calm competency: unfailingly punctual, incredibly safe on the often challenging roads, and with the kind of local knowledge that transforms a sightseeing trip into an immersive experience. Whether we were winding through hill country, spotting wildlife, or simply navigating our way between places, Pradeep handled everything with grace…and a warm sense of humour to boot.Every day felt effortless because Blue Lanka took care of logistics so we could actually enjoy the trip — hotels, transfers, timings, little unexpected gems along the way. Nothing was too much trouble. It was obvious that this company doesn’t just organise trips, it crafts journeys — and with people who genuinely love what they do. If you want professionalism, impeccable service, and local insight that genuinely enhances your travel experience, do yourself a favour — book with Blue Lanka Tours. Huge thanks to Niwarthana for the incredible planning, and to Pradeep for being the best driver/guide you could ask for. You made our Sri Lanka holiday unforgettable.
We had a great experience with Blue Lanka! With only 1 day in Colombo, we wanted to make the most of our limited time and Yuresha helped us put together a day trip that focused on the highlights, plus a few custom additions we had found on our own that we wanted to work in. Our guide Chamila was knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible - we felt like the day was well coordinated, stayed on schedule, and hit everything we had hoped for. I hope to come back to Sri Lanka for a longer visit and when I do, I'll be reaching out to Blue Lanka to set it all up.
I just got back from a three week trip to Sri Lanka including an extensive tour around the island with Blue Lanka Tours. The Blue Lanka staff was courteous, friendly, and professional throughout the planning process and the trip. Sakunthala was our tour manager; she is responsive and professional even answering messages at odd hours. Thushara was our tour guide and we couldn’t have been happier with his knowledge, guidance, and humor during our trip. I highly recommend Blue Lanka tours…book with them and have a memorable visit to this beautiful island!
I saw a recommendation for this company on a forum when I was thinking of returning to Sri Lanka after 30+ years.I had a vague idea of where I wanted to revisit and sent an enquiry.Hashini came straight back with all the information I needed. Recommendations for a tour that suited us ‘friendly smaller hotels, nature, history, wildlife’ .I like that all the money stays in Sri Lanka and the company supports local charities.We booked two weeks with a driver. This company know what they are doing. They took my vague plan and put together a well balanced itinerary that included SO MUCH more. All communication was great. I’m so happy we chose Blue Lanka. We would have missed so much without the little added trips and detours. They chose great hotels. Everything was anticipated and taken care of. This is the way to see Sri Lanka!Our driver Guyan was an absolute star. He was a complete gentleman and we felt very well looked after. He was relentlessly cheerful, helpful and full of information and ideas. We only had to mention wanting to see something or try a local fruit and he made sure it happened. And he was such a great driver. Skilful and safe.Guyan was always there when we needed him but magically melted away to give us time alone. Always considerate and understanding.The costs of a driver guide tour are well worth it for a smooth and easy holiday with the flexibility to go anywhere and see all the extra things that make a holiday special
We booked a custom 13-night itinerary, and from the very beginning the process was incredibly easy. The consultants were so helpful, accommodating, and responsive, with fast replies and thoughtful recommendations. They were far more flexible, reasonable, and efficient than other tour companies we considered, which made the whole planning process completely stress-free.The tour company even took note of our anniversary celebration and surprised us with a beautiful cake, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch and really made us feel cared for.Our driver, Terrance, was absolutely 5-star. He was always punctual, spoke excellent English, and was consistently positive, friendly, and professional. He was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful throughout the trip, and always accommodating and flexible to our needs, which made a huge difference to our overall experience.Most of the hotels were clean and comfortable, with great staff and service. A small thing to note is that some hotels were not centrally located, so you would need a driver or transport to head out for dinner or into town.Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with so much to see, and planning this trip through Blue Lanka was well worth it. It was so nice to have a completely seamless holiday, with transport organised the entire way and someone reliable to handle all the tricky parts without wasting time. Their local knowledge and contacts gave us experiences we simply wouldn’t have had otherwise.One note for future travellers: I wouldn’t recommend adding Yala Safari. It was extremely busy with too many vehicles and long queues, and the safari driver there was not as good as the first safari we did at Kaudulla Eco Park near Sigiriya, which was an amazing experience and far more enjoyable overall.Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone traveling to Sri Lanka.
I am leaving this review about my experience with Blu Lanka with a heavy heart. I contacted this agency after reading numerous positive reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was nothing like what others have described.I planned a 13-day family trip and transferred the advance payment in AUD. My mistake was not confirming in advance what exchange rate would be applied—I trusted the agency to be fair and transparent, which turned out to be a serious error. They applied an exchange rate of AUD 1 = USD 0.5383 (21/05/2025), which is almost 0.10 lower than the actual market rate. In fact, at no point in 2025 did the exchange rate drop to the level they applied. I was appalled by this practice.After extensive discussions, I realised that this agency cannot be trusted. However, since half of the payment had already been made, I had no option but to proceed with the package.I clearly informed the agency that I was travelling with childrens and expected an itinerary tailored accordingly. Instead, what was provided was a very basic and uninspired package with 3rd class train tickets in a crowded train with no seats.Thankfully, our guide Danushka (freelancer) and driver Maturanka were absolutely amazing. Danushka transformed Blu Lanka’s ordinary itinerary into something special. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and proactive—suggesting meaningful changes and add-ons such as safaris and village tours etc. Both Danushka and Maturanka played a huge role in making our holiday memorable. Without them, the trip could have been a disaster.If you are planning a holiday with Blu Lanka, please be extremely cautious. Clarify every detail in advance and do not rely on trust alone.
We had a fantastic tour of the beautiful island of Sri Lanka - personalised for us by Blue Lanka tours. We found the comapny was exceptional - our contact in the office, Yuresha, was brilliant. She listened to what we were looking for and booked hotels and attractions for us, adjusting promptly if we decided on changes. There is absolutely no hidden charges for visits such as the Yala national park, but also cultural events etc.. When we arrived our guide, Dilshan picked us up in a lovely air conditioned car and drove us around for the full 14 days. The roads and driving in Sri Lanka are "tricky" however we always felt safe with Dilshan competently driving us around. We made so many memories on this beautiful island - with so much to see. I am sure we will be going back! I would highly recommend Blue Lanka if you are considering a holiday in Sri Lanka
