Question 2

What makes ISLAND+94 (Island Plus 94) different from conventional tour companies?

We don't show you Sri Lanka. We introduce you to it. Our four core journeys are starting points — not fixed packages. Every journey is 100% private, carefully shaped around your pace, preferred stays, experiences and budget, accompanied by a qualified English-speaking Driver-Guide and backed by dedicated local support.

Question 3

Are your Sri Lanka journeys private or shared?
