    Frequently Asked Questions

    Find answers to common questions about our Family Fun Tour

    Is this tour suitable for children of all ages?

    Yes! Our Family Fun Tour is designed to be enjoyable for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. We've carefully selected activities that engage different age groups and provide flexibility in the itinerary to accommodate varying energy levels and interests. For very young children, we can arrange for appropriate car seats and recommend accommodations with family-friendly amenities. The pace is relaxed with plenty of downtime, and we can adjust activities based on your children's ages and interests.

    What safety measures are in place for families?

    Family safety is our top priority. All accommodations are selected for their family-friendly facilities and safety standards. Our vehicles are well-maintained and we can provide appropriate car seats upon request. Activities are chosen with safety in mind, and our guides are trained to work with families. We maintain flexible scheduling to avoid overtired children and always have contingency plans. We also provide 24/7 support throughout your tour for any concerns that may arise.

    How flexible is the itinerary for family needs?

    Extremely flexible! We understand that traveling with children requires adaptability. While we have a suggested itinerary, we can adjust it daily based on your family's energy levels, interests, and needs. If children need more downtime, we can reduce activities. If they're particularly enjoying something, we can extend that experience. We build in plenty of free time and offer alternative activities. Our guides are experienced in working with families and will help you customize each day to ensure everyone has a great experience.

    What about meals and dietary requirements for children?

    We carefully select restaurants and accommodations that offer child-friendly meal options. Most places can accommodate common dietary requirements and preferences. If your children have specific dietary needs or are picky eaters, please let us know in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements. We include breakfast and dinner in the tour package, while lunches are generally not included to provide flexibility for your family to eat when and where you prefer. Many restaurants offer Western options alongside Sri Lankan cuisine.

    What should we pack for our family trip to Sri Lanka?

    We recommend packing: lightweight clothing for the coastal areas, slightly warmer layers for Kandy, comfortable walking shoes, swimwear for everyone, sunscreen, hats, insect repellent, any necessary medications, and familiar comfort items for younger children. For temple visits, modest clothing covering shoulders and knees is required. Don't forget cameras to capture those special family moments! We provide a detailed family packing list upon booking to ensure you have everything you need for a comfortable trip.
