True to its nickname, ‘The Pearl of the Indian Ocean,’ Sri Lanka may be small, but it’s full of unforgettable experiences. Climb Lion Rock in Sigiriya, dine with friendly locals in Habarana, snap the perfect picture on a safari in Yala National Park and soak up a culture known for its warm hospitality—excitement is around every corner!

Why choose Bunnik?

With over 25 years of experience this award-winning, family-owned business provides a better way of touring! Bunniks overarching aim remains simple, to provide a better way for travellers to see the world. This is made possible through providing small group tours.

We do this by creating a series of unique holiday experiences:
  • Small group tours of no more than 20 passengers, specifically designed to capture the essence of the places we visit.
  • Tours that provide the perfect balance between organised sightseeing and free time for independent discovery.
  • Holidays that visit the famous attractions but also wander off the usual tourist trail.
  • Complete and stress-free tour packages with accommodation, guides, tipping, meals and airfares included (and much more!).
  • Independent travel packages are a flexible way to visit one or more destinations. They can also be added onto our small group tours for a unique experience!
  • A strong belief in responsible travel and sustainable tourism.

 Discover passion for this incredible planet and its inhabitants and experience your tour the ‘Bunnik Way’!
