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.

Left us stranded

We had booked from 8 months ago as part of our honeymoon. When we arrived to Sri Lanka on the day they cancelled the tour. Despite us repeatedly shocking up on them to see if it was going ahead, even as we were boarding. Completely left us stranded during a pandemic and is refusing to refund. However the airlines, the accomodation is the Maldives were kind and understanding of the plight. Do not trust. We were left salvaging our honeymoon and relied on the kind hearted nature of the Sri Lankan people.

Unforgettable adventure

This is the second organised tour I have completed in the last few years. We have opted for Intro Travel tour based mainly on a great balance between getting to know the culture and still having time for fun and relaxation. Not only was I not disappointed, I can honestly say it was my favourite holiday so far... There was me thinking Machu Picchu was unbeatable :) Our guide - Stuart met us at the airport and from the very first moment was easy to talk to and approachable. Despite working to a scheduled program, I still felt that I was able to have an input, as he always asked what we wanted to do. Sri Lanka itself... well go explore and see for yourself. It's a beautiful destination where people wear their hearts on their sleeves and the biggest smiles I have seen so far ♡

What would you improve about this program?
Adding a cooking class... the food was out of this world and the mini taster presentation on how to make coconut sambol just left me literally hungry for more

Amazing experience

From begging was everything amazing. First week I had problems with stiff neck, was very uncomfortable but Everyone tried to help, still didn’t want to missed anything from trip, cause everything what was in our itinerary I wanted to visit or see. Food was so tasty and that tuna for last night OH GOSH, never eat something better. Accommodation was just stunning. Trip were well planned. But I think you should do more days not only 12 days. BIG thank you to Stuart, he knows what he is doing and he was funny.

The trip starts in Negombo and goes around the country. It is a 12 day trip and includes lots of activities including safari, surfing, yoga, hiking, temples and some local village experiences. The group size varies but the average is around 12 people.

What was your funniest moment?
Not funniest, but we had a lot of laugh when we played German techno.

Best Sri Lanka tour

Intro travels Sri Lanka experience tour has been an absolute blast, this has been my first group tour whilst traveling and I have truly been blown away at easy and the fun the trip has been. The accommodation was a really highlight with some amazing and unique hotels. Stu was a great leader making the trip effortless, banding everyone together immediately. It was great not to have to think about times, check ins, traveling or where to eat . The tour has a great mix of of activities from seeing some unique sights across the country to relaxing at beautiful beaches in the south. The elephant sunrise safari was a truly magical experience. The tour had a great mix of like minded people from around the world, I can not recommend this tour enough!

Sri Lanka trip

Fab trip, this is my 4th trip with Intro and probably my favourite.
Amazing experiences and an amazing guide.
Would definitely recommend to everyone for solo travellers and groups. The guide is fab at making everyone feel part of the group. Loved the food recommendations, the different options in restaurants and included breakfasts made life much easier. The local guides also added to the tour, making it much easier to learn about Sri Lanka and its unique culture. The morning spent with the monks in the monastery was amazing and something I would never be able to experience out with the tour. Cannnot wait to hear about future intro trips as I find intro Travel my favourite travel company. Lyndsay has been an awesome guide, patience of a saint.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The elephants and amazing nature of such a beautiful country
