In Sri Lanka, Aqua-Firma operates expertly guided private tailor-made Wildlife & birdwatching Safaris, taking you through some of the country's most spectacular wild and man-made landscapes – garnished with some of South Asia's most iconic Cultural Sites and incredibly friendly people.

Sri Lanka has a long-established reputation for vibrant cultures; rolling hills stocked with the finest Ceylon tea; white sand beaches where men sit on tall poles to fish on the incoming tide; ancient temples and a British colonial heritage. It is also an island where rare tropical species of flora, birds and primates reside in precious rainforest refuges; elephants, leopards and antelope share forest, lakeland and savannah habitats.

We have enjoyed some incredible encounters over the years with blue whales, Brydes whales, sperm whales, spinner dolphins and more over the years in Sri Lanka. AQUA-FIRMA's Marine Life experts are constantly reviewing cetacean movement in Sri Lanka's waters, to assess the option of including sea outings to try and see them. Please Contact Us to discuss.

Wildlife & Birdlife Safaris

For an introduction to the prime wildlife and birdlife sanctuaries of Sri Lanka, make use of our Sri Lanka National Parks & Reserves Guide.

This includes Sri Lanka's largest wildlife haven area of Wilpattu; its largest tract of pristine rainforest at Sinharaja; and popular Yala, to hidden gems where we hardly see another person.

Sri Lanka's Ancient Monuments & British Colonial Architecture

For the country's most iconic ancient visitor sites we love to visit, peruse our Sri Lanka Cultural Sites & Monuments Guide. Highlights include reclining Buddhas of Dambulla Caves; ex-colonial Hill Stations of Nuwara Eliya; rock paintings of Sigiriya; and endless hidden gems we can pull in at whenever you feel like a top up of colour, architectural form and ancient atmosphere.

Expert Guides – Private Tailor-Made Safaris

Our private safaris can be designed around whatever focus, locations and duration you wish, be that wildlife, expertly guided birdwatching, whale watching, photography, culture, scenery or adventure activities such as trekking, biking and rafting. We are experts at snorkelling & scuba diving too, which for Sri Lanka is best combined with our island-based & yacht-based snorkel & dive holidays in the Maldives.
