As always, the itinerary is flexible and Red Dot is happy to make changes to suit your needs.

Trinco Explorer | Day 2 & 3

Day 2 & 3

Explore the ruins of  Anuradhapura – Sri Lanka’s first capital and once the greatest monastic city of the ancient world. Anuradhapura was a royal capital for more than 100 Sri Lankan kings, and was also home to thousands of monks from dozens of monasteries. Anuradhapura is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Trinco Explorer | Day 4, 5 & 6

Day 4, 5 & 6

Immerse yourself in the life of Sri Lanka's east coast which houses some of the island's finest beaches – and that is quite an accolade. Take a boat ride to   Pigeon Island, a breeding site for Blue Rock Pigeon and ideal location for half-day snorkelling excursions. A whale and dolphin spotting excursion into the deep seas is possible during the season when the waters are calm. Explore Trincomalee town. Visit Fort Frederick, first used by the Portuguese in 1624, followed by the Dutch and later by the British. At the northern tip of Fort Frederick is Swami Rock which drops 110 metres into the sea. The view of the natural harbour and the Indian Ocean is breath-taking.

Day 7 & 8

Today you head back to the Cultural Triangle. Rise early the next day and climb  Sigiriya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most dramatic, inspiring and beautiful historical locations in the world. Worthy of being called the “eighth wonder of the world”, Sigiriya is Sri Lanka’s answer to the Taj Mahal and will astonish anyone with its outstandingly beautiful views, staggering engineering and peerless design.
