independent trip to sri lanka - who went like that?
the situation - the sister offers to go there without any reservation at all, you see, she heard that you can take a taxi or a car with a driver right at the airport for hire for the entire trip. and the driver himself will tell you where it is interesting, and take you where you want, and live in guest houses, which the driver will also tell you ... personally, it’s all very dumb for me, somehow I’m not used to such uncertainty, so I ask for advice and opinions, but better - from the personal experience of such trips ... (we plan for January-February, just everything needs to be decided in advance)))

I traveled as a savage, combined India with Sri, everything was easy and simple. You will always find housing on the spot, grub too.
First read about the country you want to go - there is cheap public transport, you can even rent mopeds.
I did not use the services of guides and other batch milking.

))) My sister was the same as you: she was afraid of any uncertainty in independent travels.
I have not been to Sri Lanka, but according to the experience of other Asian countries, there are no problems in such trips. the only advice is that you and your sister still read about the country and the resort before the trip, prepare yourself mentally, otherwise if the driver turns out to be indifferent and does not advise anything interesting, you will have to navigate the terrain yourself.

"Take a taxi or a car with a driver right at the airport for hire for the entire period of the trip." - But something like this confuses me. Why do you constantly car under"one place "? How much is it? You have to lie on the beach. How are you with languages, will you be able to explain with the carrier? Two girls, security..."and the driver himself will tell you where it is interesting,"-most likely he will tell you where he"interesting " (profitable).
I think we need to decide on the base beach, and then decide on the spot with trips. Housing can also be viewed on booking sites, or indeed a hostel on a selected beach. Some kind of plan that takes into account your preferences is needed. There is still time - the expanses of the Internet will help you.

don't worry about safety - we won't be alone there ;)
about languages ​​- we can explain, I think))
As for everything else, thanks to everyone, I have already managed to re-read a bunch of forums and reviews, it seems that many people do this =)
and on the beaches we are also going to relax, about the car for a permanent time, I meant the excursion part of the holiday

You land in Colombo, before calling Saman, there is one in Hikkaduwa, they will meet you at the airport. They will bring you to the place, help with the settlement and with excursions too.

We went last year. And the second time I would go exactly as your sister plans)). I already know the prices and know where to go. Pre-booking is absolutely not needed. It's cheaper to rent a hotel on the spot and not overpay Agoda or Booking (it's cheaper to negotiate on the spot). And everything is real. very safe country. The main thing is to develop a plan for ourselves based on the "Internet prstory))
