Family Holidays
On a family holiday to Sri Lanka, marvel at the mighty Lion Rock of Sigiriya, watch tea pickers at work in the emerald hill country, or spot elephants and leopards on an exhilarating game drive before unwinding on one of Sri Lanka’s many golden beaches. From wildlife and culture to coastline and cuisine, the perfect family holiday awaits on this beautiful teardrop island.

Create your ideal adventure with a tailormade tour and your own private guide or simply check into one of the excellent family friendly hotels that line the coast for a relaxing beach escape. For the best of both worlds, combine the two - spend a few days exploring Sri Lanka’s highlights before heading to the seaside to round off your unforgettable family break. For more inspiration, check out our family friendly guide to Sri Lanka blog.

With more than 50 years’ experience, Trailfinders has developed the skills and expertise needed to put together all the pieces for an unforgettable family holiday. Our expert travel consultants are a mine of information and are the best people to ask to create your perfect trip.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT SRI LANKA?

The best time to visit Sri Lanka varies by region. The southwest coast enjoys warmer and drier weather throughout the winter months, so the best time to visit is generally between December and March. The east coast offers calmer waters and a drier climate at its best from April to September. Sri Lanka's central areas of the Cultural Triangle and Tea Country can be visited year round but are typically wetter between October and December.

For more information, take a look at our guide to the best time to visit Sri Lanka.
