The site dates back to the reign of King Kasyapa (477-495 AD), who chose this site as his new capital.

5.00We had a fantastic experience recently with Suny Ceylon Travels. My daughter (33) and I had planned to join an organised mini-coach tour joining 10 or more strangers; however a neighbour recommended Nishan and SCT. Nishan was able to put together a very similar tour itinerary that was cheaper and used higher quality hotels. Our driver Sameer (Sam!) really looked after us. He explained much of the local farming and culture and always chose excellent lunch stops. One of our day trips - to Lion Rock - I really struggled with the heat and attempting (but failing) the 1200 steps even though we had started at 7am. As we had our own driver we had the flexibility to tweak our itinerary to avoid future sites with lots of steps or no shade. Sam was really helpful with this. Sam was excited to share the best of Sri Lanka with us. Whenever he collected us he was always on time, with a big smile and a clean and refreshingly cool car.

5.00We were lucky enough to have Chathu as our driver. He was super professional, very responsive and with little care with us. He found us nice places especially to eat, have us the best table to have the most beautiful view. Explanations and anecdotes during trips and visits. Open, flexible and available. We had a great trip to Sri Lanka thanks to him. I recommend it 1000%. Thank you for everything Chathu
Excellent experience

5.00Thank you Sunny Ceylon Travels for a magical trip to Sri Lanka! Nishan helped us coordinate the trip prior to arrival and ensured all was running smoothly once we hit the ground. It was all done with full transparency and care. Our tour guide and driver Shiran looked after us though out our stay. He was dedicated and always had our best interest at heart. We experienced hikes, safari, surfing, wonderful resorts and the charm and beauty of the varied landscape that Sri Lanka has to offer. People were warm and friendly everywhere we went. We highly recommend Sunny Ceylon Travels! ✨
Great experience in Sri Lanka

5.00Great experience. Very good communication before the stay to organize everything, and two super drivers ( Chattu & Sami) super friendly, listening to our requests, knowing the good corners and restaurants and offering things we had not thought of.
Excellent service!

5.00Many thanks to Sunny Ceylon Travels for organizing our 13-day family stay (8 adults and 6 children). We booked most of the accommodation by ourselves before contacting Nishan who then made us proposals for the missing accommodation., as well as a planning proposal. Everything was perfect! A magic circuit. Special mention for our 2 drivers Chathu and Sameera who were always punctual, accommodating and very pleasant. Chathu was always good advice and booked us most restaurants (which were very good choices), which allowed us to be guided. The children would have liked to stay another week (and so would we)! Thank you for showing us your beautiful country. I recommend 100%.

5.00We booked the tour from the UK, not really knowing much about Sri Lanka's size or scale, but were guided by expert Nishan at Sunny Ceylon as to our ideal itinerary. He was superb. Helpful, quick to respond, clear and straight answers to questions. He planned hotels, routes, excursions and train tickets for us, which meant that we were able to enjoy the holiday from the moment we touched down at Bandaranaike Airport at 3 in the morning! The actual driving part was conducted by Leyon who was a wonderful driver and guide. Constantly smiling, he made our trip really enjoyable, stopping frequently to buy some local foodstuff for us to try; or finding a guide to take us up Sigiriya; or a cool place to have an Ayurvedic massage. He kept his vehicle super clean and was always on time (well, bar once, but we don't talk about that). He was part of our team and really made the holiday fun and enjoyable. The highlights were Sigiriya, Horathapola Coconut Estate, snorkelling in Pigeon Island off Trincomalee, the surf of the South coast, the tea plantations in Nuwara Eliya, and a must see is staying in the Kingsley's Pearl in Galle Fort. The elephants were also beautiful, but not guaranteed, and so I would recommend one or a maximum of two trips. Similarly with temples - I would recommend Polonnaruwa to get an overview of a huge complex of government, religion and agriculture to really stretch your mind. Finally, the food was amazing! The best was served on banana leaves with big bowls of communal food at a place outside Parakrama Samudraya. Wow! But everywhere served amazing fresh, tasty and interesting food based on some core staples. We loved the Sri Lankan people and their hospitality and cannot recommend this holiday enough for people with teenage children who like to travel around a country and explore it. Thank you, Nishan and Leyon for a great time!!
