Thankyou for giving us the most wonderful trip .

Olanka Travels
We were really happy to choose Olanka. Their service was very very exceptional from the day we started asking quotes. Ms.Navodya was so professional in handling our itinerary. She made all the elements covered and provided a detailed one.
On arriving to the day we left the country, we were guided by a calm and professional chauffeur Mr.Anushka Indiga and driver Mr.Ridhigar. They walked through all the spots and explained the history, importance of the places. He understood our requirements and made our stay so comfortable.
Thanks Olanka.

We had Great experience in Sri Langka. We enjoyed the 5 days travelling which was planned by Olangka Travels. It was super fun and much relaxing. The hotel was good except hotel in Nuwara Eliya, the room was smelly and the TV is not working. Last day was very rushing as not enough time to do our shopping. The travel was very helpful and advised us when we needed her.

We recently had the pleasure of exploring Sri Lanka with Olanka Travels, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the team was professional, organized, and attentive to our needs. Our itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to visit stunning locations like Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Galle, and Colombo without feeling rushed.

The accommodations were comfortable, and the local guides provided insightful information about Sri Lanka's rich history and culture. Transportation was seamless, and we always felt safe and well taken care of.

A special shoutout to our driver, who was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. Olanka Travels made the trip hassle-free, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Sri Lanka.

If you're planning to visit Sri Lanka, I highly recommend Olanka Travels. They exceeded our expectations and made our vacation truly special!

We had a wonderful time in Sri Lanka thanks to Olanka. Our itinerary was carefully prepared and tailored to our requests. The hotels were beautiful and we had a unique experience every single day of our trip. We were lucky to have a kind and professional driver Anura who showed us the beauty of Sri Lanka whilst taking great care of us. He was extremely patient and helpful in accommodating our wishes. We would definitely recommend Olanka to anyone who wants to see the best of the beautiful country.

From the moment I made the inquiry on google for the holidays, the response have been really prompt & quick, our holiday experience was made invaluable

Samalya connected with me on whatsapp and understood our requirement, after made atleast 10 options/changes, before we finalized
After the process was smooth for payment, booking, etc.

Our trip was planned from airport pick up to 3 different places in Sri Lanka with 2 nights in each place, we visited Bentota, Nuwera Eliya & Colombo, however, we covered Galle & Kandy day trip, This way, we covered beach, hill station, shopping and the trip was memorable without any glitch.

Also Taranga who picked us from airport and until he dropped us back on the 7th day of our tour was very co operative, no rush with excellent driving skill.

Maybe given a chance, we would definitely come back to explore more....

My partner and me went on a 10 days holiday around the country. The experience was excellent. We are very happy both with Olanka services and their incredible country they showed us.
Our guide driver, Amila, is a 10/10 and he was taking care and providing with the best tips and sightseeings during the whole trip.
Also a big shoutout to Wasuda, who introduced us to Olanka and provided the best tour and hotels for us. We were able to met her and is a very nice person.

With my wife Henia we had a wonderful time in Sri Lanka from July 30 to August 8.
In the design of the trip Rangica Lakshi from Olanka Travel was very helpful and had excellent knowledge about the posibble routes and various hotels. I was extremely impressed in the design period by her attentive attitude, patience and quick response 24 hours a day.
She also checked during the tour that everything goes well. We enjoyed meeting her in Colombo in the last day.
The other excellent surprise was the driver. We asked for an English speaking driver, knowledgeable and kind and this perfectly describes our driver Mr. Janith Perrera.
From the meeting in the airport upon arrival on July 30 to the departure hall on August 8 he was always there, guiding us, supporting and helping beyond words can describe.
Thank you for excellent tour.

I had booked my tour to Sri Lanka from 9th to 14th August'24.
Coordinator name : Ms Mery Princyla

Worst part of the tour
-------------------------
The worst coordinator, no responsibility, no commitment, attitude, un ethical, non customer friendly, rude, poor communication, and un accountable.

She is the most unreliable person and not bothered about the customer once the entire payment is paid. Worst part was she'll tell you that she is in a meeting whenever you to reach her.

We reached Colombo on 9th early morning around 4:30 am. No one was there in the airport to receive us. Suddenly, Mr Rion of Olanka called me and informed me that he was to collect the balance payment and he collected the payment. She not bothered to inform us the person's name who will be collecting the payment.

After 8th August till 14th August'24, she didn't had the basic courtesy to call and speak to us. On 13th, she had sent a whatsapp message which I'll put it down for your understanding about her lethargy and behavior.

[13/08, 09:48] Mery Princyla Olanka Travels Srilanka: Good morning sir

[13/08, 09:48] Mery Princyla Olanka Travels Srilanka: Is everything good

[13/08, 09:48] Mery Princyla Olanka Travels Srilanka: How was your tour

[13/08, 09:49] Mery Princyla Olanka Travels Srilanka: Our tour tour end yesterday so I missed to message you

[13/08, 09:49] Mery Princyla Olanka Travels Srilanka: Did you get the breakfast

It's a classic example of the unprofessionalism.

Total disappointment.

The worst part in our trip was that she didn't communicate the hotels that my full name and we are pure vegetarians. She works as a courier person whose job is to just deliver. That's all.

If you try to reach Mr Ravi -CEO, his standard reply will be that he is in Australia.
No doubt, Olaka Travels is the most unprofessional tour operator.

Best part of the tour
-----------------------
I want to really mention, appreciate and our sincere thanks to Mr Vidurinda of Pinthaliya Hotel, Mr Rifkan of Victoria and Mr Mohan of The Palms for arranging vegetarian foods during our stay.

The best part of tour is that we got a good person as our guide/chauffeur Mr Viranga Thalagala who is very cordial, simple, customer friendly, good communication, patient, soft, polite and so caring. Thank you Viranga. He can be contacted in +94 71 843 3021.

My advice to people is to contact the hotels directly in Sri Lanka to avail the best discount and excellent service.

Don't ever plan your trip with Olanka Travels to avoid disappointments.

I responded to an advertisement on the company's website.They got back to me saying their website is being upgraded and the tour price is different as well as the hotels and tours offered.This is false and misleading advertising.They offer a well priced tour on website but when you want to book the tour the price and services offered change completely.Goodbye I don't need to be scammed.

We provided our flight schedule reaching Colombo on 2Aug and Return Flight on 10Aug ETD 0050hr.
We were given itinerary till 10th. We did not realise until the last minute on 9th, that it ticked one of us that we have to be at the airport on 9th evening!
Upon realising, we sent text to Sanduni, the coordinator, only to be offered with free buffet diiner on the 9th.
Quite ridiculously, as we had paid for transportation and a hotel stay on the 9th! We requested for refund but was turned down flat. The errror occurred from a professional travel agent!! The coordinator was bold to say that we had accepted the itinerary!
We email to the founder of Olanka and heard nothing, not even a courtesy reply. They Dont Accept blame and they just want sales.
Poor Management.

The reponse from the Olanka team is unreasonsable. Your professional team should advise better. Well, your reply shows the behaviour of the
whole team.

This is the first time that our family used the sevices of Olanka travels. To be honest, we were having some doubts because these days, dealing online with travel and tourism companies is quite risky.

After taking whatever precautions we could, we decided to go ahead and plan an 8 day/9 nights holiday through Olanka. And we realised that we made the right decision. All the three destinations we planned in Sri Lanka, the hotels, the kind of rooms we needed, the driver attached to us for the entire duration, the food requests - everything was taken care of by Olanka very well.

We would recommend Olanka travels and our Olanka contact person Shanika. They really rose to the ocassion and did a wonderful job of making our stay happy, comfortable, pleasant, and more importantly, safe and secure.

Hi every one, I want to share my experience with Olanka that might help to plan your trip to Sri Lanka. Overall I had a wonderful tour with Olanka. Starting from the itinerary till conclusion of the trip Ms Rangika from customer service guided and coordinated efficiently to make my stay worth memorable. I would mention here that Olanka quoted the least price of the trip as per my requirements. Moreover Mr Thissa who was detailed with the transport as driver was so polite, social, cooperative and served as the best guide to brief in depth the details of all historic and visiting places. Overall my 5 x days family trip to Sri Lanka remained outstanding with good memories.

We have know Thushira for a few years now .he has always been very helpful as our guide. His knowledge of the history of Sri Lanka is briliant .this trip he took us to Dambulla and Pinawalla elephant orphanage.l would recommend Thushira as your guide as he’s very knowledgeable and his English is briliant too

simply the best experience

I want to give a huge shoutout to Sanduni from O'lanka Travels. My friend Maria and her partner Victor from Spain had their first trip to Sri Lanka early this month and Sanduni made it absolutely perfect. Her service was top-notch!

Sanduni was incredibly dedicated and patient, answering all our questions with such flexibility. She crafted an agenda that fit all our needs and gave us the best pricing possible. Her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Her warm and friendly approach made us feel welcomed and valued throughout the planning process.

What stood out the most was Sanduni's ability to accommodate last-minute changes and special requests without any hassle. She provided excellent recommendations for activities and dining, ensuring we experienced the best of what Sri Lanka has to offer. Her local knowledge and passion for her country shone through in every interaction, making us even more excited about our trip.

I also want to highlight the exceptional service provided by their driver, Kamal. He was with them for 10 days, and his professionalism, knowledge, and kindness were outstanding. He made sure every part of their journey was comfortable and stress-free, sharing local insights and making sure they experienced the best of Sri Lanka. His driving skills and courteous nature made a significant difference in their trip.

These folks from O'lanka Travels truly provide great services. If you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka, I highly recommend working with Sanduni and her team. You won't be disappointed!

We arranged, with some hesitation, an 8 day Sri Lanka trip with Olanka Travels from 8 Jun to 15 Jun by just reading the reviews of those who have travelled with them.
Our point of contact at Olanka was Kaushi.She was very professional, prompt and efficient and made our planning of this trip smooth.
Though we had to postpone our trip 1 week later due to some medical issue with our travel companion, she efficiently assisted with the re-arrangement of hotel and itineary at such a short notice.
We are really very thankful to her.
Our guide and driver on this trip was Tusha, who made our trip very very enjoyable,memorable and safe.
As we were 4 ladies and above middle age, he ensured our safety and comfort througout the trip.
Initially I had some reservations travelling to Sri Lanka, but now I would say it was really a well arranged, safe and memorable trip.
Thanks to Olanka travel and team

Nice and enjoyable trip to Sri Lanka: We had a great time exploring various sections of the country, which are the most adventurous and verdant places I would suggest to everyone. I used Olanka Travels to book a 5 day, 4 night package. Mrs. Rangika, my travel advisor, planned and oversaw my family's trip expertly, and I heartily recommend her for any tour planning needs. I am grateful to Rangika and Olanks Travels for organizing my unforgettable vacation.

We took a 6 night 7 days tour from olanka. Rangika was the person who helped me with all the bookings and suggestions.. I have really admired her patience in dealing with all the issues that I had raised prior and during the trip. Everything went smooth.. The detailing was really good. And she was quick to answer things.

Olanka travels deserves all the praise for making our vacation in Srilanka a resounding success! Mery’s dedication to providing top-notch service was evident in every aspect of our trip. From seamless transportation arrangements to handpicked accommodations, everything was meticulously planned. Thanks to Olanka travels we were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our journey without any worries. Highly recommend!!
