A family story that lives on

Lankara Island Travels is not just any travel agency. It is an extension of my father's life's work, who for more than 40 years took people to the world behind the postcards. Not just as a profession, but as a passion. His mission was always the same: to let people feel, to meet, and to truly understand.

I carry on that philosophy today. With respect for traditions, an eye for detail, and genuine attention to the people we meet along the way. For us, travel is not about speed or numbers, but about meaning and connection.

More than a trip – an experience that stays with you

Our trips to Sri Lanka and Indonesia are never standard. They are carefully and fully custom-designed, tailored to who you are and what you are looking for. Whether you are traveling with your family, partner, friends, colleagues, a school group, or as a senior, we listen first and then design. What we aim to achieve is simple yet powerful: that years later you still think, “Wow, what a special trip that was.”

Not just a trip, but memories

for life

Not only because of the places you have seen, but above all because of how you experience them. Our trips stick with you, thanks to a well-thought-out combination of experience, comfort, and depth:

Real encounters with local people

You don't travel past life, but right through it. With carefully selected, certified national guides and specialized local escorts, we open doors to communities, traditions, and stories that normally remain hidden. Encounters that are sincere, warm, and personal.

Authentic food with attention to you

Food is an essential part of the travel experience. From homemade curries to fresh seafood by the sea and spices that you smell and taste on the spot. We also take allergies, dietary requirements, and personal preferences into careful consideration, so that you can enjoy your trip worry-free.

Everyday life behind the scenes

No superficial highlights, but insight into real life. You see how people live, work, cook, and live together. It is precisely these moments that give a tour of Sri Lanka or Indonesia depth and meaning.

Authentic experiences & hidden places

Thanks to our deep local knowledge, you will visit places you would never find on your own. Small villages, silent temples, pristine nature, and special encounters far away from mass tourism. These are the experiences that make your trip unique.



Flexibility in every situation

No rigid schedules to tie you down. We believe in flexibility. The journey can be adjusted along the way to suit your pace, interests, or unexpected circumstances. That provides peace of mind, freedom, and confidence.

Stories that stay with you

Every trip tells a story. About people, cultures, and sometimes about yourself too. Stories that you still share later, and that evoke that wow feeling all over again.

Educational, sensory, and in-depth

Traveling is learning without classrooms. You smell fresh Ceylon tea leaves, feel cinnamon sticks between your fingers, and discover where flavors, rituals, and traditions truly come from. In this way, your journey becomes an enrichment for all the senses.

Dutch and English-speaking guidance

You travel with the comfort of Dutch- and English-speaking guidance, combined with deep local knowledge. Our guides are professional, certified, and knowledgeable, ensuring you always understand what you see, hear, and experience.
