"It was a well organised private tour for 12 days for my family. Most of the Hotels (4* & 5*) were great with great facilities, gestures, good meals and friendly staff. Our tour assistant Ms Chamsthsara was exceptional and prompt with all our queries. Our Chauffeur Dinesh was excellent, friendly and great with our grandkids too. Thank you Olanka Travels.

Unforgettable Sri Lanka Adventure with Olanka Travels – Huge Thanks to Shanika and Shalom!

We’ve just returned from an unforgettable 18-day journey across the beautiful island of Sri Lanka, and it was nothing short of extraordinary—thanks entirely to the incredible team at Olanka Travels.

From the very beginning, Shanika was a dream to work with. She was responsive, professional, and wonderfully attentive to our needs. Organizing a trip for a group of six can be complicated, but Shanika made it feel effortless. Every detail of our itinerary was carefully curated to match our interests and preferences, and no request was ever too much. Her attention to detail, efficiency, and warm communication gave us total confidence from start to finish—and made the planning process stress-free and enjoyable.

We also had the added pleasure of meeting Shanika in person on our last day in Colombo, which was an absolute treat. It was lovely to finally put a face to the name behind the flawless organization. Her warmth and genuine care for our experience shone through in person just as it did throughout the planning stages.

Equally amazing was our driver and guide, Shalom. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He was consistently punctual, professional, and incredibly friendly. The vehicle was spotless, spacious, and comfortable throughout our journey—an essential part of making long drives pleasant.

Shalom’s local knowledge and thoughtful recommendations added so much depth to our experience. He was always attentive to our needs and made sure we felt comfortable and safe wherever we went. His passion for sharing the beauty and culture of Sri Lanka was clear every step of the way, and by the end of the trip, we felt like we were saying goodbye to a dear friend.

This was a trip we will treasure forever, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and care of Shanika and Shalom. If you're planning a visit to Sri Lanka, we can’t recommend Olanka Travels enough.

Thank you, Shanika and Shalom, for the adventure of a lifetime!

We planned our Maldives tour through Olanka travels, and we’re so grateful to have been connected with Ms Monila Ebert who guided us every step of the way.

From the moment we started planning, she made the entire process smooth and stress-free — helping us choose the perfect resort, arranging special facilities and being available to assist us throughout the trip. Everything was well-organized and perfectly arranged, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy our special moments in paradise.

A heartfelt thank you to Ms Monila Ebert for making our dream honeymoon a reality. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring travel expert, we highly recommend reaching out to her through Olanka travels. 💙🌴✨

Absolutely not 1) They scammed me by promising something & reality was completely 2) it takes you 100 call to get 1 answer during critical situation (3)I had to drag and carry my luggage in the middle of nowhere & lost 6 hours of my day when their driver hit a pedestrian with no acknowledgement or compensation from them. If you have already registered with them, make sure you don't complete payment until you return as they are not trustworthy. it was truly a very disappointing experience with them

Mr Kosala made great arrangements for us and the tour guide MrJanith Perera was very efficient and quality of the vehicle was good. Look forward to visiting again.

Well organized tour by Olanka travels. Rashmi prepared the itineraries and worked patiently with us to make multiple customizations. Our tour guide Indika did an excellent job and made sure we had everything that we needed.

We got the Olanka through friends and we feel without knowing them
Do the payment was risky but it’s not happen like that. Rashmi was there to made selection of places and hotels and through the journey following up for the facilities and options. Recommend from my side.

Our experience with Olanka travels was good but we did have a few hiccups.
We were given the wrong number of the driver, and couldn't contact anyone when we landed which caused oanic.Some of the rooms which were given to us were also not of the best quality.
But want to mention that Divyanjalee was very helpful and always available for taking questions and helping us.
Special mention of our driver Lakhmal who was very good and he drove us around and showed us srilanka.
Thankyou Olanka travels

It was a great vacation. Everything was organised brilliantly. Hotels were very clean and hygiene. Driver Douglas was extremely polite. English spoken. Excellent driver and very focused and smooth in driving. Very ethical in nature

With Olanka experience was excellent from day one till last day. Overall excellent experience and u would wish them all the very best and keep up the excellent job

2 week trip. Our guide Saliya was outstanding. He is a great driver, very much fun to be with, and very knowledgeable. The major drawback for us was the location of several of the hotels that were far outside the cities/towns, so we were unable to walk about after a touring day or to find alternative places to eat. The train ride was disappointing despite the views along the way. The train is dirty with windows you could barely look out of. This was 1st class and I can't imagine what 2nd or 3rd was like. Overall great vacation but now I know better what to ask for when setting up tour. Olanka itself is a first class organization

While deciding on our honeymoon destination, we knew we didn’t want to spend the whole time sunbathing at boring beaches, but we also didn’t want to tire ourselves out with overwhelming hikes. We wanted a little bit of everything, and that’s exactly what we got! We ventured through the jungle in multiple safaris, climbed tall and beautiful mountains, sunbathed at jaw-dropping beaches, got to experience a different culture and taste the delicious local food. However, we were also offered something we never expected: a new friend. What initially was falsely advertised as a “private driver” turned out to be one of the kindest, most knowledgeable and enthusiastic people we’ve ever met. Thushara, who we thought would be our chauffeur, ended up being so much more! For starters, he’s a living encyclopedia. He knows every single detail about everything in Sri Lanka. On top of that, he always attended to our every need, even if it required some creative improvisation. If all that weren’t enough, he was also constantly looking out for us. Between his connections, his kindness and his forward-thinking, no obstacle got in our way.
We definitely recommend this experience, especially our guide Thushara, who we hope to see again soon.

Eduardo and Catarina.

Thank you @ Olanka travels for planning an amazing srilanka tour for our family. Ms Ama Kaveesha was very receptive of our requirements and made sure it was well catered to all the age groups. Our driver Dinesh was very cordial, very smooth driving and took us around our 7 day long journey very efficiently. His suggestions regarding local food and shopping were exceptional!
My kids had a wonderful time with Srilankan wild life, would definitely want to come back for more!!

Olanka Travels made our holidays a memorable time. Ms Rush Wijesinghe and Mr Sarath Wijesinghe were very helpful and friendly. Everything was easy and well organised thus we just have to enjoy the beautiful Sri Lanka

Mery, the tour planner assigned to me meticulously did all the detailed planning and made our SriLankan trip truly memorable.

God bless you

Thanks to Olanka Travels for my recent visit to Sri Lanka. Ms. Divyanjali was the organizer. Thank you Divya for the excellent itinerary tailored for me. Wish to cooperate with Olanka Travels for my Future visits too.

A Memorable 7-Day Journey Through Sri Lanka with Olanka Travels

Our recent 7-day tour of the breathtaking island of Sri Lanka was nothing short of magical, thanks to the impeccable planning and warm hospitality of Olanka Travels. From the moment we landed to the final goodbye, every detail was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty, culture, and charm of this incredible country.

A special shoutout to Sharanie, our Olanka representative, whose professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care made our entire trip seamless. She was always just a message away, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we were comfortable at every stage. Her recommendations, attention to detail, and warm demeanor truly enhanced our experience.

We were also incredibly fortunate to have Devaka as our pilot/driver throughout the journey. Not only was he an excellent driver navigating Sri Lanka’s diverse terrain with ease, but he was also a knowledgeable guide and a delightful companion. His punctuality, patience, and ever-smiling nature made each day enjoyable. Devaka went above and beyond to make us feel safe and welcome, and we are deeply grateful for his kindness.

Whether it was exploring ancient cities, relaxing on pristine beaches, or enjoying the serenity of the hill country, Olanka Travels ensured that every moment was special. This trip has left us with countless memories, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Olanka to anyone planning to discover the wonders of Sri Lanka.

Thank you, Sharanie and Devaka, for making our journey so memorable!

We had planned our trip with Olanka tours and it was wonderful and memorable for all our family members. Our tour organizer Ms. Rashmi Wijesinghe was very helpful, cooperative, prompt in replying and gave us 24x7 assistance. Even our driver Arjun was very calm and nice person. His driving was not rough at all. The itinerary suggested by her was very relaxed, not too hectic and covered all the sightseeing’s which needed to be. The hotels and resorts provided were the best, no complaints at all. Ms. Rashmi was so kind, she arranged a lovely surprise cake for my daughter on her birthday during our stay in Colombo. Thank you Olanka team, Ms. Rashmi and driver Arjun for making our trip memorable. If we visit again then we will definitely make arrangements with Olanka tours 👍👍

We had a wonderful family trip to Maldives arranged by Olanka. The travel consultant Hiruni helped us from start to finish our trip. She was absolutely outstanding, incredibly helpful, attentive and patient, providing us with wide range of options that perfectly suited our needs and preferences. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring we had the best experience made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Thanks her excellent support, our vacation turned out to be truly wonderful. we are extremely grateful for her dedication and professionalism and would highly recommend her services to anyone planning their next trip. she is definitely an asset to the Olanka travel.
Thanks to Anushka as well who provided full support to the entire trip.

Olanka helped us organise a short trip to Sri Lanka. Thanks to Ruvini from the office, who was always helpful and ready to assist, and our reliable, always on-time, and good-character driver and guide, Chamod, we had a great, intensive, and unforgettable time.
