We were nine persons in total and were in Sri Lanka from 13-23 March, 2024. We were received by them at the airport on 13th and dropped off at the airport on 23rd. The vehicle and the Driver (Ranjith (Read More)) provided by them was excellent. At every stage they took care of our needs. Hotels were nice in most places, barring one or two.

Projects Abroad has been making a positive impact on the world for over 30 years, and I was fortunate enough to recently participate in their mission. During my volunteer work in Sri Lanka, I was warm (Read More)ly welcomed into my host family's home and was able to fully immerse myself in their culture, language, food, and lifestyle. My experience was deeply meaningful, and the Sri Lankan people will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you, Project Abroad and Sri Lanka, for this rewarding experience! As Archbishop Desmond Tutu said, "Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world." I encourage anyone considering volunteering abroad to take the leap and make a difference.

Had the greatest experience with these guys! Sri Lanka was my first solo international trip and Projects Abroad made it so easy for me. Over the span of four months, I participated in medical and Engl (Read More)ish teaching volunteer programs, and throughout every step, their guidance and support were unwavering, making sure that I made the most out of my time there. From orientation to the daily assistance at my placement, I always felt valued and empowered to make a real difference. Everyone was most welcoming, including my host family, project supervisors, and fellow volunteers, making me feel truly at home and allowing me to fully immerse myself in the local culture. Beyond my primary volunteer roles, Projects Abroad also provided opportunities to engage with various healthcare initiatives and community development projects, and every moment felt meaningful and rewarding. Sri Lanka also had the most vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes to explore in my free time. Through Projects Abroad I made some very good travel buddies that I traveled the country with, and I always got the best advice on where to go next. To this day Sri Lanka remains one of the most memorable places I visited. I still remember the pristine beaches, majestic mountains, forests, and historic sites. The connections I formed with the local community surely left a lasting impact on me. My time in Sri Lanka with Projects Abroad was definitely an unforgettable one. For anyone seeking adventure, cultural immersion, and the opportunity to make a positive impact, I wholeheartedly recommend Projects Abroad! In Sri Lanka, you'll discover not only the beauty of the country but also the depth of your own potential to effect change. It's an experience I would rate 10 out of 10, and one I encourage others to embark on for a truly transformative volunteering experience!

We were delighted with Asian Island from the start. As soon as we started corresponding, we realised they were a professional, caring and most of all knowledgable company. We changed hotels many times (Read More)!! . Altered dates, plans and budget several times and they had unending patience and professionalism when corresponding with us. Once in Sri lanka, from the moment we met our driver and throughout our tour we were supported. The financial transaction (final payment) was descreet and everything was upfront regarding money and currency. When we were forced to step back from the 'plan' due to illness, it was met with understanding and suggestions to make things easier for us. When one hotel was not up to standard, they communicated with complete understanding and noted our feedback. Thankyou for everything. We would recommend you again in a minute. The suggested hotels overall were of good standard and we found the detsils given accurate. Dear Gishan We made it in good time to the airport and have had time to talk about how much we enjoyed our holiday in Srilanka. We also want to give generous feedback about our lovely kind and respectful driver Susantha. He was descreet but always available. He showed us many extra attractions, including nature and cultural highlights, sharing helpful details about food and history, while he safely drove us from place to place. He always made us feel comfortable and safe and at all times, he was kind and patient to our teen children. When he got lost or couldnt find somewhere, he dealt with it calmly and professionally and always got us to the correct place. We would wholehearted recommend him to any family travelling in Srilanka.
