Experience the Magic of Sri Lanka!
Join us for a 14-day journey through Sri Lanka - from lush highlands to quiet coastlines - built around good surf, great food, and a pace that lets you actually enjoy it.
We begin in Colombo to settle in before heading inland to the cooler hills of Nuwara Eliya. Stay in a tucked-away tea estate chateau with meals included, and take in the views from Ambuluwawa Tower along the way.
Next, hop aboard Sri Lanka’s most scenic train ride to Ella. Spend your days hiking, slowing down, or joining a local cooking class, with plenty of time to just take it easy.
From there, we head south to Hiriketiya, where we settle in for five days of surf, yoga, and beach time. You’ll surf a consistent, often uncrowded point break suited to progressing beginners, with a more advanced wave nearby. Daily surf, three yoga sessions a day, and time to reset properly.
As Sri Lanka’s south coast grows, much of it has shifted toward a busier party scene. This trip is designed to stay just outside of that - still social, but never centred around it. There’s the option of a safari or a night out at The Doctor’s House if you’re up for it.
We continue along the coast through Madiha before spending a couple of nights in Ahangama, where things pick up slightly - good food, music, and a livelier feel — before heading back to Colombo.
Dates: March 1st – March 14th, 2027
