Your Sri Lanka adventure
Sri Lanka is our most popular destination and literally has it all! From the famous stunning coastlines with golden sand and crystal clear waters to the rolling lush green tea plantations in hill country.
This somewhat undiscovered island has something for everyone, with sacred temples enriched with history, national parks packed with wildlife and the endless stretches of beautiful beaches.
All of our volunteering programme (except elephants) are located together and are based just 10 minutes away from the famous beach side town of Hikkaduwa. You will be living right on the beach, where you can snorkel, enjoy the spacious accommodation and experience the true way of life in Sri Lanka.
Our programmes start on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month throughout the year and you can choose to join us from 1-24 weeks.
Our structured and safe programmes mean volunteering in Sri Lanka is ideal for the first time in solo travellers. Volunteering is a perfect way to meet like-minded people and allows you to explore Sri Lanka as a group.
