How long has Recreative Solutions been operating?

We've been planning trips since 2014 — over a decade of local experience. In that time we have planned more than 5,000 tours across Sri Lanka for travellers from around the world.

How do you build a custom itinerary?

We start with a free consultation — a quick call or WhatsApp chat to understand your travel style, pace, interests, and budget. We then build a day-by-day itinerary from scratch. No templates, no copy-paste. You receive your personalised plan within 24 hours.

Are your prices fixed or do hidden charges appear later?

The price we quote is the price you pay. We believe in complete transparency — no hidden charges, no last-minute additions. We'll even recommend a smaller trip if that's genuinely the better option for you.

Private tour experience in Sri Lanka — Recreative Solutions

How We Started

Ten years of Sri Lanka trips no algorithm could plan.

We started Recreative Solutions after watching too many visitors miss what makes Sri Lanka extraordinary. Most operators run the same circuits, recommend the same hotel chains, and call it a custom tour. We were built to do the opposite.

Our team grew up here. We know the roads that don't appear on maps, the family kitchens that outperform any listed restaurant, the beaches where you won't share the shoreline with anyone. That local depth is what makes every itinerary feel like it was made for you — because it was.

Over the past decade, we've planned trips for more than 5,000 travellers. Every itinerary was built from scratch. No templates, no copy-paste. Just your trip.

What We Stand For

Three things we never compromise on.

We've built our reputation on a straightforward promise: handle every trip the way we'd want our own family's trip handled.

01 · Honesty

The price we quote is the price you pay.

We are SLTDA-licensed (TA/2024/0284) and operate with complete transparency. No hidden charges, no last-minute additions. We give honest advice even when a smaller trip is the right answer for you.

02 · Personal Touch

No templates. Just your trip.

We don't sell packages off a shelf. We ask questions, understand your travel style, and build a detailed itinerary around your pace, interests, and budget — not someone else's.

03 · Local Knowledge

The Sri Lanka most visitors never find.

We build in hidden trails, neighbourhood food stalls, and quiet corners of ancient cities that guidebooks treat as footnotes. That's where the truly memorable moments happen.

The Process

From first message to first morning in Sri Lanka.

We've refined this over thousands of trips. It's designed to be simple on your end — and thorough on ours.

What Travellers Say

Reviewed by travellers from around the world.

Over a decade of trips, thousands of travellers, one consistent feedback thread: it felt like we planned it ourselves.

"Every day of our 10-day trip was different, locally-sourced, and genuinely surprising. No tourist traps. They knew every corner of the island."

Sarah M. London, United Kingdom

Verified

"They handled our UAE visa in 3 days flat. I'd tried twice with another agency. Straightforward, no back-and-forth, just done."

Ravi K. Colombo, Sri Lanka

Verified

"What set them apart was the honesty. They told us exactly what to expect, what wasn't worth it for our timeline, and delivered on every promise."

Common Questions

Answers before you even need to ask.

Everything you'd want to know before booking — answered plainly.

Is Recreative Solutions a licensed travel agency?

Yes. We are fully licensed by the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) under registration number TA/2024/0284. Our licence is publicly verifiable on the SLTDA registry. This means we operate under national regulatory oversight and are held to professional standards for transparency and responsible tourism.

How long have you been operating, and how many trips have you planned?

We've been planning trips since 2014 — over a decade. In that time we have designed more than 5,000 custom itineraries for travellers from the UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, the UAE, India, and beyond. Every one was built from scratch. No templates.

How quickly will I receive a custom itinerary?

Within 24 hours of your initial consultation. We start with a quick call or WhatsApp chat to understand your requirements, then build a detailed day-by-day plan tailored to your travel style, group size, interests, and budget. Revisions are included — we refine until it's right.

What is your visa approval rate and which countries do you cover?

Our visa approval rate is 98% across all processed applications. We handle tourist and business visas for over 30 countries, including the UAE, India, the UK, Canada, Schengen nations, Turkey, Qatar, and Sri Lanka ETA. We manage all paperwork and follow-up — you submit your documents to us, and we do the rest.

Are there any hidden charges or fees I should know about?

None. The price we quote is the price you pay. We believe complete transparency is the baseline — not a feature. We will tell you upfront if your budget doesn't align with your preferences, and we will never add last-minute costs. We would rather lose a booking than compromise that standard.

Do you provide support during the trip, not just before it?

Yes, 24/7. From the moment you land until your departure transfer is confirmed, our team is reachable on WhatsApp, phone, or email — any hour, including weekends and holidays. We don't hand you a PDF and disappear. Real people, real responses, whatever time zone you're in.
