About this experience
By catamaran, car, train, off-road vehicles, and even elephants – we set off to explore Sri Lanka in all its glory. Get your cameras ready: you'll capture leopards, crocodiles, dolphins, blue whales, and wild monkeys through the lens. You'll see how sapphires are created, how spices are made, visit the largest cave temple, and walk through the ruins of an ancient fortress from the 5th century. We'll swim in azure waters, bask in the sun and get a velvety tan, ride on SUP boards, and snorkel.
