G Adventures sails through new destination

Sri Lanka is in hot demand – and it’s no wonder: the island is famed for it’s diverse landscapes, amazing scenery and buddhist ruins.

If that sentence alone made you want to visit, join the line. The demand for trips to Sri Lanka has tripled in the last year.

But never fear, brave travellers; G Adventures is here for you.

They’ve just launched a brand spanking new programme of group sailing tours along the southern coast, and are the first ever company to do so in Sri Lanka.

The standard is a seven-day ‘Sri Lanka Sailing’ trip and travels to and from Mirissa – starting from February 2. Did someone say winter escape? If seven days is definitely, 100 per cent not going to be enough time in paradise, you can combine the sailing with an on-land adventure.

But enough chit-chat; check out these new wanderlust-inducing itineraries straight from the horses mouth:

  • Sailing Sri Lanka

Discover the culture and wild, natural beauty of Sri Lanka, with a perfect mix of chill-out time and exploration. Sail along the southern coast of Sri Lanka, stopping along the way at the old trading fort of Galle, remote beach towns, and the fishing village of Kudawella.

When your land-locked feet get a little tired, there’s plenty of time for snorkelling, surfing, and enjoying the beach. And at under $2000 for a seven-day trip, you really have no excuse.

  • Sri Lanka Land & Sea

On this 14-day tour, search for wildlife on a safari, visit the historic city of Galle, and taste for yourself the exotic flavours at a spice plantation.

Then head over to the southern coast (with whales and dolphins as your travel companions) for some well-earned time with snorkelling, surfing, and a beach barbecue.

This one’s only $3399 per person – and well worth it for that pristine scenery.

Vince Donnelly, global sailing adventure of G Adventures, said that offering a sailing trip in Sri Lanka was a natural next step.

“We’re thrilled to be the first adventure company to explore Sri Lanka by sea. They say great things come in small packages and Sri Lanka is a fantastic destination with plenty to see, do and eat.

“These sailing trips have a local chief experience officer (CEO), skipper, and cook onboard, so travellers will also experience the local culture and flavours as they explore the stunning Sri Lankan coastline,” he said.

The launch of Sri Lanka sailing brings the number of sailing destinations offered by G Adventures to eight, with 19 different itineraries across the British Virgin Islands, Croatia, Cuba, Greece, Indonesia, Montenegro and Thailand.
