Mini Island Hop details

The Red Dot Mini Island Hop is a simpler version of the full Red Dot Island Hop.

It offers the classic Sri Lanka holiday a week's tour plus a week on the beach but still offers the flexibility of choosing your own hotels.

Your holiday includes:

(i) A six-night tour around Sri Lanka (taking in the cultural triangle, Kandy and Nuwara Eliya & the Highlands).

(ii) A minimum of two nights (and a maximum of whatever you wish) at a beach hotel on Sri Lanka’s south or west coast.

(iii) A final stop in Colombo, Mount Lavinia or Negombo, most convenient for your flight home.


The Mini Island Hop – just like its larger cousin - does NOT lock you into large
groups, on a prearranged coach tour, but allows you to design your own holiday for your own personal group. You can explore the island at your own pace, in a car or minivan, with your personal driver-cum-guide.

And, once again, you can make your selections on-line with our auto-pricing facility.

Peak season on the west and south coast runs from November to mid-April, although August and September are also popular. The monsoon season traditionally only seriously affects the west and south coast in May and June, with another wet period in October - although even the rain often falls at night and there are some excellent deals available.

Kandy, the hill country capital, is the gateway to an invigorating land studded by tea estates and paddy fields. Around Nuwara Eliya, the mountain passes and the isolated plateau of Horton Plains, are spectacular.

Sri Lanka possessed a cultured civilization five centuries before Christ and the ruined cities of Polonnuruwa and Anuradhapura, and the rock fortress of Sigiriya remain marvelously-preserved monuments to a bygone age.
