Who We Are

Deep Roots in Arugam Bay & Kumana

We are a passionate team of local travel experts dedicated to creating authentic Sri Lankan experiences. With deep roots in our coastal community, we specialize in immersive tours that showcase the island’s rich culture, stunning wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes – from ancient rock temples to leopard safaris and coastal adventures.

Founded by Ansa alongside trusted friends Isak and Faina, our journey started back in 2005 with a single humble Tuk-Tuk and an unmatched passion for showing travelers secret surf breaks, hidden elephant watering points, and the deep wonders of Kumana National Park.
