Impact 🌎

At INTRO our commitment to a sustainable future is a key principle, and the driving force behind our Small Change initiative, which we launched in 2017.

As part of our goal to make a real positive impact to the environment, we partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects in 2019 to plant 10 trees for every booking we received. And as a result we’ve planted tens of thousands of trees, aided reforestation, rehabilitated wildlife and reduced poverty in multiple local communities.

However we wanted to go even further and achieve true sustainability, so in late 2023 we began a new partnership with Path Net Zero to accurately measure our tours emissions, and Veritree to plant trees to offset those emissions.

We are now very proud to say that every INTRO tour is 100% carbon neutral.

Intro Sri Lanka Tour

The 12-day Sri Lanka tour was absolutely amazing. The activities were incredibly fun and well organized, and the accommodations were truly beautiful throughout the trip.

Between activities, there was plenty of free time to explore different places on your own, which made the experience even more enjoyable and flexible.

Our group leader, Amelia, was absolutely incredible. She was fun, kind, caring, and very outgoing. She made everyone feel included and ensured that everyone had the best possible experience. Thanks to her, we also got amazing photos from some of the most beautiful viewpoints (she knows the best spots) and learned a lot about Sri Lankan wildlife, culture, and important landmarks.

Amelia and the local guides were all very knowledgeable about the country and were always happy to answer any questions.

I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone considering visiting Sri Lanka—it was an unforgettable experience!

What was your funniest moment?
We had many fun game nights, but one of the funniest was when we did a quiz guessing each other’s baby photos.
Pros
  • The sunrise safari
  • The hikes
  • Surfing lesson

Intro Travel Sri Lanka Experience

I had an absolutely amazing time on this trip. I recommend it both to people traveling together or solo. It’s such a great way to meet people and see the best sights.

Meg was our group leader and she was absolutely incredible. She made everyone feel included. She’s fun, outgoing, and knowledgeable and made our group have the best time possible. Not only did we get top-quality photos of beautiful viewpoints from Meg, but we also learned a bit about the history of certain landmarks - I was worried I’d get bored learning about them, but trust me when I say it was incredible and fun.

I would 100% recommend this trip. Trip of a lifetime.

What was your funniest moment?
Our group leader made a quiz for us to do one night. It was a brilliant night. Both general knowledge questions and questions about our trip.
We had such a laugh as well as continuing to get to know each other as a group.
Pros
  • Exploring amazing views
  • Had an inclusive leader and a great group
  • The amazing food and recommendations
Cons
  • Would have liked more free time as the first few days are quite busy

Sri Lanka- Intro Travel

I was really pleased with the whole trip to Sri Lanka with Intro travel. From before the trip, to getting home, Steph (our leader) was so helpful with absolutely everything. The leader and guides were all very knowledgeable about the country and culture, and happy to answer any questions. The activities were fun and well spaced throughout the trip, meaning it was very well paced. I enjoyed the variety of activities which included visiting temples, a sunrise safari to see lots of elephants and other animals and chilled beach days- as well as it’s more.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
On a sunrise safari, I saw so many elephants and got so close to them from our jeep.
Pros
  • Excellent leader
  • Nice accommodation
  • Fun activities
Cons
  • Lots of travel

Sri Lanka trip December

We had an amazing time during our Sri Lanka trip with Intro! It was a good mix between traveling with the group and your own free time to explore. Because we were together as friends, we also loved to go shopping or grab lunch with the two of us. We enjoyed the fun activity’s on the tour and the recommendations in our free time. There is a lot to see a do. The mix of culture, nature and activity’s was perfect for us. The whole journey was so relaxed and only good vibes, in the group but also with the locals.

Don’t come over to prepared, just experience the tour and say yes to everything!

IntroTravel Sri Lanka

I had the best time touring Sri Lanka with IntroTravel and our group leader Steph! It was nice and relaxing to have everything already planned. There was never a point in the tour where i felt unsafe, our group leader always made sure of that. Learning about the culture was amazing and seeing the beautiful sights of this country.

Would highly recommend this tour, although if you are into partying all the time then you may be disappointed. This country is different to the rest of the typical backpacker countries in SE Asia but it makes it more wholesome.

Made memories and friendships that will last a lifetime!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Give everything a go! Come out your comfort zone and have the best time.

Intro Travel Sri Lanka

I have just finished the 12 Sri Lanka experience tour and this was my 6th tour with Intro. I came into this tour with expectations and it exceeded them by far. Steph our leader was amazing, especially considering I came on the tour with food poisoning, she helped me to get better really fast! The information before and during the tour was very good and detailed. The accommodation was also incredible and the activities were great, especially the sunrise safari (a core memory for life!). I’d highly recommend.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Bananas for a whole day to cure my salmonella poisoning!
Pros
  • Great accommodation
  • Sunrise elephant safari
  • Stunning food

Amazing Trip with Intro - and Meg!

Awesome 12 days exploring Sri Lanka. The trip covered everything we wanted to do, and I love that all the activities were included. Some of the highlights for me were; the cooking demonstration in the local village, the sunrise safari and seeing all the beautiful elephants, the surfing lesson in Weligama and the fun nights out!

Our leader, Meg, was so fun, friendly and knowledgeable. I couldn’t have imagined a better leader! She went out of her way to make sure we were having a great time, and she always had the best recommendations for us.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Surfing! All of the group was new to it and we all had a laugh and enjoyed ourselves anyway. Our amazing guide Meg, took millions of pictures and videos for us too! Legend!
Pros
  • New friends
  • Amazing tour leader
  • All the included activities

Sri Lanka 5 dec

Had a lovely time in Sri Lanka with the best guide, Meg. Got to experience the Sri Lankan culture, and got to see and do a lot of fun stuff. We really liked the travel route around in Sri Lanka. Our guide had control of everything and I could lean back and relax 🤩 I really loved the hikes and the surfing! The safari was also something extraordinary! We felt very safe with our buss driver. The bus’s driver and his colleague were always helpful and really friendly! This trip couldn’t be any better.

What was your funniest moment?
Almost dying by eating the “spicy” food in the local village
Pros
  • Beautiful nature
  • Relaxing
  • Cool experiences
Cons
  • Mosquitoes
