Impact

Sustainability

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.

Best tour ever

I have been on a Bali tour with intro in the past and this was so good that I wanted to book another. Sri Lanka is somewhere I had never thought about in the past but after seeing the video at the end of my last trip I thought it looked amazing and it definitely has been. The group, accommodation and activities have all been amazing. Our group leader Morgan, was great and very informative and fun. Any issue we had was sorted by him very quickly. My favorite activities were the elephant safari and monastery visit. Mirissa has been my favorite hotel and love being right on the beach. I have booked my next trip to the Philippines and can't wait.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?

Intro Sri lanka

The whole experience was incredible. Favourite parts were the elephant safari and learning local cultures.
Our group leader, Eliza made the trip unforgettable from the moment we all arrived. I travelled solo but did not feel solo at any point during the trip.
I would highly recommend Intro, Eliza and the Sri Lanka experience.
Tip: bring loads of insect repellent, the mosquitos were everywhere. A lot of the accommodation had room repellent but would recommend plenty for when out and about.
In summary, if you are thinking of booking, I say DO IT! You will not regret it!

Great Trip

I would definitely recommend this trip! Sri Lanka is such a beautiful country and the trip has been designed very well to make sure we were able to visit all of the must see places and really get the most out of the trip. Our leader Eliza also made our trip. She made sure we had everything we needed from arrival information all the way to help with onward travel. She really made sure we had the most amazing experience and always went above and beyond for us. She was so knowledgeable about the country and we were so lucky to have met her and had her as our leader!

Pros
  • Travelling with other like-minded people
  • Having an experience leader who showed us the best places
  • Being able to explore another country

Great tour of Sri Lanka with Niall

Highly recommend the intro tour of Sri Lanka . I went for a 2 week holiday and had a great time with a lovely group of people. Our group leader Niall went above and beyond and made sure we all had a great time. The accommodation and itinerary far exceeded my expectations and I feel I saw the best of Sri Lanka. The itinerary was a great mix of culture, free time, fun, activities and lots of great food. I was a great break from work and I would recommend a group tour like this to anyone who wants to make the most out their annual leave or gap year. Thank you

Pros
  • See the best of Sri Lanka in two weeks
  • Meet like minded people
  • Have fun and experience things you have never before
Cons
  • N/A

TOP NOTCH!

I recently went on the 12 day Sri Lanka tour with Intro. Intro was the best tour group to join as a solo female, and Niall our group leader was top notch! The tour was perfectly balanced and ensured we covered so many activities in the 12 days. The safari was incredible, and sp the train journey to Ella. I loved every minute of it. Niall made sure everything ran smoothly and was as enjoyable as possible every step of the way! H
Especially the special touches he made on our last evening for my 30th birthday! He was also a pro photographer for the whole gang! 📸
Thanks Niall and thanks intro!

Pros
  • Accomodation
  • Cultural activities
  • Safari

Sri Lanka intro trip

The trip was amazing and very well planned. I was picked up the airport, the driver was waiting for me to arrive and Niall was waiting for me at the hotel.

Niall was very organised and an amazing tour leader. He made sure we all knew what was happening the next day with daily group meetings. He was very helpful organising onward travel after the trip.

I loved every day of this trip - it was a very cultural trip with lots of different activities organised by the company (surfing, safari, hiking, boat trip, lots of local food). I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to visit Sri Lanka.

Pros
  • Variety of activities
  • Amazing tour leader
  • Great group of people on the trip
Cons
  • I think the trip should be longer or have an option for it to be longer - an add on
  • I think the day of the surfing we should stay in Weligama instead of travel to Mirissa as we have a free afternoon and there is more to do there.

Amazing Experience!

My experience travelling with Intro Travel in Sri Lanka was absolutely incredible!

The trip met all of my expectations as far as accommodation and transport which were all of great standard and very comfortable. My group leader was very knowledgeable and clearly showed a passion for travel and showing people a great time while experiencing a country to its fullest. The contrast from the first half of the trip being adventurous and off the beaten path while travelling throughout the central area of the country, to the beautiful palm tree beaches and true relaxing holiday vibes of the second half truly made for my ideal holiday away.

Intro Travel was very helpful virtually about all of my pre trip inquiries and my group leader always went above and beyond for all group members throughout the trip. This truly was a fantastic experience

Thank you Intro Travel and thank you to my group leader David for the wonderful holiday.

CATS PYJAMAS

INTRO TRAVEL IS THE CATS PYJAMAS

12 beautiful days across Sri Lanka in our stylish party bus was a time I’ll never forget

Intro travel is the best way to show up to a country you know absolutely nothing about and have done little to no travel research on, to then leave 2 weeks later having hit all the epic hot spots and truly experienced a bit of the local culture, food and fantastic activities.

The itinerary is well planned and makes the most of experiencing everything while still having lots of time to chill and relax and enjoy the holiday vibes.

Our group leader Dave was a barrel of laughs and impressive with his knowledge of Sri Lankan culture and even speaking the local language. Dave is an absolute asset to the intro team, I’ve done my fair share of group tours and he has clearly got the gig down pat.

The trip was incredible and Sri Lanka surely made it quite high on my list of top destinations I’ve visited out of the 46 and counting!

Thanks intro!
