Why travel with us
Six reasons, all practical
We are a travel company from Sri Lanka, not a website that resells other people's tours.
Here is what that means for you, from the day you book to the drive back to the airport.
A local team
We run every trip ourselves
Our trip planners, guides and drivers work for Ish Travel. When something changes on the road, the person fixing it knows the island and knows you.
In Sri Lanka we are from here. In our other five countries we work with guides we have travelled with ourselves.
Honest about money
Every price, in plain numbers
The price per person you see includes what we list, and nothing is added at checkout. No card fees.
- Pay 50% now and the rest after you arrive, or in full
- Single supplements shown next to every date
- Cancel up to 14 days before arrival with a 5% fee
Small groups
Never more than 20
Most groups are 8 to 12, small enough for one minibus, one table and a guide who knows every name by day two.
Travelling alone? Share a twin room with another traveller and pay no supplement.
Private, your way
One planner, from first message to flight home
Ask for a private tour and the same trip planner answers your WhatsApp, sends your quote and stays with you while you travel.
- Quote within 24 hours, with hotel options side by side
- Nothing to pay until you accept
- Change the pace on the day
Every booking includes
The things you don't see
The people
Who you will talk to
