more serious operators Tui, Turtez were presented in our hotel. I went to Antalya with Turtez, no complaints. I think they look good in the lanka too.
аватар gertzog9
I forgot to say: in Lanka the season is November-March. then the rainy season. take an umbrella and a spacesuit
аватар NatashaS
I wonder why Newstravel is not a more serious operator than Tui, Turtez?
аватар ksu75
I was advised by News Travel, but it is more expensive than Join Up.
аватар RBK2012
For peace of mind, it’s not a pity to pay extra!
аватар ksu75
It’s not a pity if the budget allows !!! not always because of stinginess they save, but in general, of course, you shouldn’t choose dubious operators - and the rest is spoiled and the risk is high
аватар Tanunik
Thanks everyone for the feedback. If possible, advise a personally verified tour operator in Sri Lanka. We are going there for the first time and even with the choice of a place there are continuous questions, professional recommendations are very necessary. About Join Up read not very positive reviews.

I traveled with NewsTravel, which is why I recommended him here.
In the Indurruva Beach Hotel, three stars. But I'm not very picky about the conditions.
If you still want to go on excursions, then it’s better to take the program: excursions and the beach. If you travel with local guys, it may be cheaper, but it will take a lot of time on the road, it is very exhausting. And so we went on excursions, and then you can go to nearby places and travel by yourself, and lie down on the beach!

for NatashaS. in Tangerine, I don’t remember if NewsTravel was presented, so I didn’t name it. And about the place - consider the following: you will have a long flight, then from Colombo 2-4.5 hours to the hotel. And the same way back. It gets pretty tedious. It is better not to take a hotel near Colombo - the ocean is dirty due to the proximity of the port and the big city. the most beautiful ocean is at the southern tip of the island, in the Gale region. But from there it is far to go on excursions (all the sights are in the middle of Lanka).
аватар Tanunik
Excursions are very important for us and we definitely plan active holidays, but the cleanliness of the ocean and the beach is also not the last thing. I really want to combine the clean coast, the ocean and the proximity of Colombo, if someone knows such a place, advise.

Then Kalutara or Bentotta will suit you. To Colombo 1.5-2 hours, to the elephant farm - about 4 hours drive, other attractions (Kandy, Sigiriya, Jambula) - further. Look at Tangerine beach hotel 4 *, next to it, on the same territory there is a 5 * hotel
аватар Tanunik
Thanks, we'll definitely take a look.

We rested at The Surf 4 * hotel in Bentota, we really liked it, we went from the tour operator Join Up because of the budget, other tour operators are more expensive. We have no complaints, we also read a lot of negative reviews, maybe we were lucky)))
аватар Tanunik
And who was the host? Were there any problems with the check-in or with the rooms?
аватар investle
We have Exotic Travel, there were no problems!
аватар Tanunik
If it's not a secret, how much does a holiday in Sri Lanka cost?
аватар investle
For two weeks with an excursion tour, plus the beach at the Indurruva Beach hotel for breakfast, it cost me $ 1,500. This includes all gifts, even additional excursions on the island. This was in the month of February. Flight - with a change in the Emirates!
аватар Tanunik
Thanks for the answer. We were also going to take a tour with excursions, but then we decided that we would take a beach holiday, but near Colombo, and we would go on excursions on our own. But so far they have not chosen the best option - the clear sea and the beach and the proximity of Colombo.
аватар investle
I advise you to take excursions first, and then the beach. You will lose a lot of time on the road and it will be very exhausting for you.
I had three days of excursions and that was quite enough!
аватар Tanunik
Unfortunately, the proposed excursions do not quite suit us, and the tour operators do not offer excursions that are of interest to us, so we will have to plan our leisure time, and it is in connection with the need to save travel time that we are looking for the optimal ratio Hotel (clear sea and beach) - Colombo and surroundings (excursions)
аватар investle
What excursions do you want?
аватар Tanunik
A zoo in Colombo, a nature reserve in Yala, Petah, there are a lot of temples in Colombo, we want to see as much as possible, waterfalls.
аватар investle
Yes, tour operators do not carry these places.
The locals will definitely have Yala, waterfalls, and there should be Colombo.
аватар Tanunik
Hope! The most difficult thing is to choose a hotel and especially the area. At first we chose Negombo, it seems to be very convenient in location, but almost everyone writes that Negombo has a very dirty ocean, then they seem to have chosen Bentota, but the railway is a bit embarrassing and the distance to Colombo is quite long, but so far no one has advised anything more suitable.
аватар investle
Maybe you can give phone numbers or mailboxes of local guides? Maybe they will advise something?
аватар Tanunik
Thank you, I will be very grateful

Our host was Concord Exotic Voyage. We took 3 days of excursions (Sigiriya, Dambula, Kandy, Pinavella), then 7 days of a beach holiday at the hotel. While staying at the hotel we ourselves traveled to the south of the island. The whole tour cost us $ 3,000 for two, these are excursions + a hotel with breakfast and dinner, and we also spent $ 1,000 there, but we did not deny ourselves anything, it could have been much more modest. We were very pleased with the trip.
аватар ksu75
How much did the tour cost? since they didn’t call me less than 2500 if with excursions?
