FAQ
Common questions, straight answers.
Can't find your answer? Our Auckland team picks up the phone seven days a week.
0800 574 584Why is this priced higher than a standard 7-day tour?
It includes premium hotels such as The Grand Hotel in Nuwara Eliya and Amangalla in Galle, which raise the cost of the trip.
Can this be made more affordable?
Yes. Replacing Amangalla or The Grand Hotel with standard 4-star alternatives can reduce the per-person price.
Is this suitable for a first Sri Lanka visit?
Yes. It covers the classic first-visit route: coast, Cultural Triangle, Kandy, tea country, Galle Fort, and Colombo.

I highly recommend this company - super reliable!
Majitha was super easy to deal with and did an amazing job booking our flights to Europe. He found us perfect flight times with great airlines, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Communication was fast, clear, and efficient — nothing was ever a hassle.

Majitha responds to all queries promptly
Majitha gives me options for the journey I am planning and advice on transit times and quality of service on the various airlines. When flight delays on Singapore Airlines meant I had to re-route my flight back to Auckland, he found me a better alternative route on WhatsApp.

The complete travel experience
From beginning to plan our trip to Sri Lanka to arriving back in New Zealand, the people at Fly Lanka were extremely helpful with both itinerary recommendations and flexibility. Our driver-guide Jayantha was knowledgeable and respectful, and every hotel — corporate and boutique — was superb.

Majitha listened to what we wanted in our flights and made a booking which was ideal for us. He came back to us several times with different options until we found the most suitable one. The options he gave were very reasonably priced as well. Thanks for all your patience and valuable help.
Tour
Truly amazing — saved our trip
On our leg from Athens to Belfast we were stranded after a flight change another agent didn't tell us about. I rang Majitha at Fly Lanka, he said give him five minutes, and true to his word he sent us links to tickets he procured for us. He is truly amazing.
Flight
Quick and easy
I managed to get my ticket done within a day. Majitha was quick to respond and all the discussion happened via WhatsApp. The rate was below the rate given by the airline website. He clarified all my doubts and explained all the procedures I needed to follow. Highly recommended.
