About this experience
Board your private, air-conditioned vehicle in Hikkaduwa and head inland with your English-speaking chauffeur guide for a 14-hour sweep through Sri Lanka's cultural heartland. The route climbs from the southern coast into the cool central highlands, where Kandy's skyline is dominated by the Temple of the Tooth Relic — one of Buddhism's most revered shrines. Along the way, step into workshops dedicated to gem crafting, woodcarving, and batik-making to see these traditional Sri Lankan crafts up close. Two 500 ml water bottles per person are provided for the journey.
The day also takes in the Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens, home to hundreds of plant and flower species spread across sweeping landscaped grounds. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are included; entrance tickets to the Temple of the Tooth Relic and Botanical Gardens, meals, and gratuities are your own expense. This private tour suits travellers aged five and above who want to cover half the island — beaches to highlands — in a single well-organised day with Lakpura.
