Honeymoons

For some couples, a romantic holiday is about experiences that stimulate the senses - and on that front Sri Lanka doesn’t disappoint. One of the most popular excursions is an elephant ride for two. Another unforgettable experience is an early morning hot air balloon ride over Sigiriya rock fortress or Udawalawe national park, spotting animals roaming below. To get up close and personal to the wildlife, take a two-day safari to Yala National Park in the southeast. Safaris leave from most of the coastal resorts.
