Most amazing moments
Riding across Ceylon has been an absolutely amazing experience. I have done it 3 times now, in 2023, 2024 and 2025 and every single time has been the highlight of my year. The routes are stunning, the temperature is just perfectly warm without being too hot, the food is delicious. The team at Across Ceylon are so hospitable, they became our dearest friends..

Cycling through Sri Lanka.
Myself and group of twenty fellow Cyclists from the UAE have just experienced and amazing stress free cycling tour in the heart of Sri Lanka all thanks to Across Ceylon. From our arrival to our departure they took care of everything, from transport to accommodation. However for our group the most important part was the safety of the rides, for which Across Ceylon provided a fleet of vehicles for every ride. Food and water was also provided to support our group on the routes provided by them. They also helped us capture our memories by providing a team of photographers to record our rides and free time excursions. Would I use Across Ceylon again as a travel partner, most certainly. Would I recommend Across Ceylon most definitely. Russell Lee UAE

Another Outstanding Cycling Adventure with Across Ceylon!
This was my third organised cycling trip with Across Ceylon, and once again, it was nothing short of amazing. Their fantastic organisation, attention to detail, and continuous improvements year after year really set them apart. The entire team was incredibly attentive, always checking in to make sure we were happy and that everything was going smoothly. From the well supported group rides to the variety of additional activities that filled our itineraries, we were truly made to feel like VIP guests every single day. We were well looked after, well fed, and kept hydrated throughout the trip. The scenery in Sri Lanka is absolutely stunning, and Across Ceylon ensures you get to experience it in the best possible way; safely, professionally, and enjoyably. If you want to visit Sri Lanka and cycle with a professional team who will take exceptional care of you, I highly recommend Across Ceylon. You won't be disappointed! Thank you Rajith, Ruchira and the whole Across Team.

We initially planed to spend 5-7 days, but it was so nice on the way that we extend our journey to 14 days. I will go there again next year for sure. Greetings from Poland

A gorgeous day along the southern route!
I had an amazing day cycling the southern coast with the Across Ceylon team. They arrived at my hotel with a beautiful Bianchi disc wheel road bike. We cycled north along stunning beaches. Stopped for fresh coconuts, a local lunch on the beach, and then beers to finish off the day. Biggest thank you to everyone who made this day special- i will absolutely be back!
