A week along the coast of Sri Lanka, from the colonial harbours of the south to the blue-whale waters offshore and the reefs of the east. This route pairs UNESCO forts and stilt fishermen with some of the finest whale watching on earth. Expect Dutch ramparts and palm-fringed bays, great whales close to shore and coral reefs in warm, clear water, a richly varied island voyage.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter reef. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
