Transport in Sri Lanka

Journeys in Sri Lanka can be a challenge but Red Dot’s careful itinerary planning and rich range of transport options, all of which follow professional health and safety procedures, ensure you can enjoy your stay to the full.

By far the most popular solution is to hire a car and driver, and we firmly believe that our pool of Sri Lanka chauffeur-guides is the best in the country. Red Dot does not recommend driving in Sri Lanka unless you have experience driving in other South Asian countries. Internal flights around Sri Lanka by plane or helicopter are a great solution for our luxury travellers to reduce long journey times.

Don’t forget, too, that Red Dot can also book your international flights – ensuring for UK customers that you receive full ATOL protection on your holiday. Sri Lanka is also home to one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world, and if you like to take to the water opportunities are springing up with every year. However you like to travel around Sri Lanka, Red Dot has the perfect solution.
