The Unique Travel Company offers specialist escorted tours in the beautiful tropical island of Sri Lanka, which lies in the Indian Ocean just off the south east coast of India. Tours can either follow a pre-arranged themed itinerary over eight or fifteen days with departures on specific dates or they can be custom-designed to suit the holidaymaker?s own brief and time scales.
Themed itineraries take in the island?s heritage and cultural highlights; wildlife, national parks, wonderful beaches, tea plantations and dining experiences as well as optional adventure activities such as white water rafting and elephant rides. Prices are from ?530pp for an eight-day escorted tour based on two sharing.
Since the Unique Travel only offers holidays in Sri Lanka, their teams in the UK and on the island have vast experience and are able to offer the highest level of personal advice. This knowledge also ensures they can provide the best the island offers at competitive prices; there is only one price bracket throughout the year, including school holidays, other than at Christmas and New Year.
All the Unique Travel Company?s chauffeurs and guides are local, tourist board approved Sri Lankans who have worked for many years in the tourism industry ? their local knowledge and friendly enthusiasm to share their country with visitors is a real highlight of the holiday. Only air-conditioned vehicles are used with a maximum of twelve people in any one group.
Responsible Tourism
The Unique Travel Company is totally committed to environmental conservation, keeping wildlife in the wild and responsible tourism believing that local communities should benefit from tourism, wherever possible.
