Tours in the Indian Ocean

Bordered by the dramatic landscapes of Africa and the cultural melting pot of Asia, our Indian Ocean tours offer a wealth of unforgettable experiences for culture-seekers, lovers of the outdoors and wildlife enthusiasts alike.

During our 12-day Seychelles Island-Hopping tour, you’ll enjoy superb snorkelling among vibrant coral reefs in the pristine turquoise waters off the coast of Mahe, with the chance to spot whale sharks, clown fish and sea turtles. Lie back on the powdery palm-fringed beaches of Anse Lazio and Anse Intendance, then explore the rustic villages of La Digue by ox-drawn cart on an island entirely free of motorised vehicles. Hike the rugged and mountainous ridges of Praslin, listening out for the song of the Seychelles blue pigeon and the call of the Eurasian hobby as they soar above, before trekking through lush jungles of coco der mer trees at the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve.

Alternatively, immerse yourself in Sri Lanka’s fascinating culture as part of our four-day World Heritage Sri Lanka tour. Climb the towering ancient fortress of Sigiriya Rock, believed to be occupied by Buddhist monks from as early as the third century BC, before exploring Dambulla Rock Temple and its extensive cave network . Observe intricate rock paintings and historic Buddhist statues, while discovering the stories of prehistoric Sri Lankans depicted on its walls. Embark on an afternoon game drive through the lush jungles of Minneriya National Park to spot some of the world’s largest elephant herds in their natural environment. Your trip culminates in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kandy, as you take to two wheels and cycle through the verdant countryside, with undulating hills and vivid tea plantations all around. Visit the sacred 16th century Temple of the Tooth, admiring its ornate Kandyan architecture and meticulous ceiling murals, and browse locally crafted lacquerware at traditional bazaars.
