SRI LANKA PRIVATE JOURNEYS

Sri Lanka with Do Travel

 

Thoughtful routes. Personal connections. A journey at your own pace.

The People Behind the Journey

A journey through Sri Lanka brings together places that feel worlds apart: the hills around Kandy, the forests of Gal Oya, the surf of Arugam Bay and the quieter corners of the south coast.

Dallas and his team at Do Travel  helped connect these chapters of our journey. With transport between our stays arranged, we could give our attention to the places we had come to discover—and the moments along the way.

What We Valued

Personal Contact

Direct conversations with Dallas and his team gave the planning a personal connection, with someone to turn to as our journey took shape.

A Connected Itinerary

Transport between our stays brought the route together, linking the hills, forests and coastline into one continuous journey.

Space for Our Own Pace

Time to settle into each stay, enjoy an unhurried morning and discover more than the road between destinations.

A FemmVoyage Note

Some of our most lasting memories of Sri Lanka were made between destinations. Dallas shared stories of the island’s history and culture, stopping along the way to show us something we might otherwise have passed by. He invited us to look closer, taste unfamiliar flavours and understand more of everyday life.

For us, this is how a journey should feel: time to be curious, to experience a place through all the senses, and to learn from someone who knows it well.

Discovering Sri Lanka with Dallas

Do Travel specialises in private, tailor-made journeys across Sri Lanka. Dallas and his team can develop a complete itinerary based on your interests, travel dates and preferred pace, or arrange transport around destinations and accommodation you have already selected.

Routes can combine wildlife, cultural heritage, local cuisine, hill country and coastal stays. Planning takes into account the sequence of destinations, travel times and the experiences you wish to include.

A choice of vehicles allows transport to be matched to the number of passengers, luggage requirements and itinerary. Services range from individual airport and hotel transfers to journeys with a private driver throughout. The scope of arrangements and inclusions is agreed directly with Do Travel.

For FemmVoyage’s Sri Lanka journey, Dallas and his team coordinated transport between our stays. Along the route, Dallas shared insights into the island’s history, culture and daily life, adding local context to the places we visited.

FemmVoyage Notes

Planning Your Sri Lanka Journey

Practical answers to help you discuss your route, choose suitable transport and understand the arrangements before you travel.

Can Do Travel plan a complete itinerary?

Yes. You can approach Dallas with a list of destinations or simply describe your interests and ask him to develop the route. Share your travel dates, preferred pace and priorities, whether these include wildlife, cultural heritage, local food or time on the coast. The itinerary can then be developed around the journey you have in mind.

Can I arrange transport around hotels I have already booked?

Yes. Do Travel can work around accommodation and destinations you have already selected. Send the full property names, locations and confirmed dates so the team can connect each stage. If your bookings are not yet final, discuss the proposed route first to establish whether the sequence and travel time suit your plans.

Can I book an airport transfer or an individual journey?

Airport transfers and individual journeys can be discussed alongside longer trips. For an airport collection, provide your flight number, arrival date and destination. Confirm the meeting point, contact number and arrangements for flight delays before departure. For hotel transfers, include the exact collection and drop-off addresses.

How is the vehicle selected?

Do Travel has different vehicles available, allowing transport to be matched to the travelling party and itinerary. Give the team both the passenger count and the amount of luggage, including larger items such as surfboards or photography equipment. Confirm the proposed vehicle, luggage space and air-conditioning when reviewing your arrangements.

Will Dallas accompany us throughout the trip?

Confirm who will be driving before booking. Do Travel works with a team, so arranging a journey with Dallas does not automatically mean he will personally accompany every stage. If travelling with him is a particular preference, mention this in your initial enquiry and check his availability. Also clarify whether the same driver will remain with you throughout the agreed route.

What should families discuss before travelling?

Share the children’s ages and any requirements that could affect the vehicle or daily schedule. Discuss suitable journey lengths, regular breaks and child-seat requirements, including availability and fit, before confirming. Mention mobility needs or difficulty entering a vehicle at the same stage, so suitable arrangements can be considered in advance.

Are accommodation, safaris and entrance fees included?

Inclusions depend on the arrangements you agree with Do Travel. Request an itemised proposal showing what is covered by the price and what is payable separately. Ask specifically about accommodation, meals, entrance tickets, safari jeeps, local guides, parking and road charges. This makes it easier to compare proposals and budget for the complete journey.

How much flexibility should I allow in the route?

Ask for estimated driving times for each stage, allowing additional time for meals, visits and breaks. Discuss which days are best kept flexible and which activities require an advance reservation. If you would like to change the route during your trip, check what is possible and how this could affect driving hours, accommodation or the agreed price.

What should I confirm before accepting a proposal?

Obtain written confirmation of the itinerary, travel dates, vehicle arrangements, inclusions and total price, including the currency. Clarify any deposit, payment schedule and cancellation or amendment terms directly with Do Travel. Keep the booking confirmation and your contact details for the team available during the journey. Bookings and payments are arranged directly with Do Travel.
