This trip is the perfect combination of wildlife, history and beach. Learn to surf and admire ancient Buddhist statues in Sri Lanka before enjoying a slice of paradise with an island-hopping adventure in the Maldives.

Your adventure continues on the south coast of Sri Lanka where you'll have a week of surf lessons to help you catch your first wave. 

After mastering the board, it's time to relax on the beaches of the Maldives with an island-hopping package that takes you from the capital of Malé to Dhiffushi and Thulusdhoo - two picture-perfect tropical islands in the North Male Atoll.

Sri Lanka 12 day group adventure

Touch down in Colombo and find your way to Negombo a bit North. You can choose to take a local bus, or we can help arranging the transfer if you'd like.

In Negombo you'll join a group of like-minded backpackers on a tour of all the coolest highlights of Sri Lanka including Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Ella before you finish your trip in Hikkaduwa in the south. On this trip you can expect great company, stunning nature and tons of fun activities.

Ahangama 8-day surf camp

Surf's up! In Ahangama we've partnered up with a really cool surf camp, where you have 7 days to master the board and the Sri Lankan waves.

Use your body during the day, and your social skills during the evening. The camp is always full of young backpackers looking for a good time, and the vibe here is absolutely great. Surf, eat, have fun, sleep - repeat!

After your surf camp is over, head back to Colombo for your flight to the Maldives.

Malé Arrival package

Start your trip in the Maldives with two nights in the capital of Malé. You'll be collected at the airport and taken to your accommodation. It may be a capital city, but Malé isn't exactly big, so you'll have plenty of time to explore the sights before setting off for tropical paradise in the atolls.

North Male Atoll 8 days of island-hopping

Ai ai, captain! It's time for a sailing adventure. Board the ship and head out in the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean, because island hopping is what's up next! In the coming 8 days, you can look forward to some awesome snorkelling adventures in the turqouise waters, some white sand beaches and relaxation at its finest. Question is whether you 'by accident' miss your next flight home, because this trip will make you want to stay in the Maldives forever.
