Round the Island by Boat
From the Turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean to the hidden bays of our island home, your Sri Lankan voyage starts here
Once they called it Taprobana, known for its unique location among the navel routes of old. From the ancient Greeks, to the merchant Arabs and even a rogue prince who found a hiding place among this paradise lost, Sri Lanka has been an integral part of the world’s history. Conquered by the Portuguese, Dutch and the English who established their colonies and left notable signs behind, the island’s illustrious history still has many mysteries waiting to be discovered. Among them are paths less travelled. At Round the Island we invite you to join us on a voyage of discovering the island’s undiscovered mysteries. Come, and take a curated tour with us through history, culture and everyday life of an island unlike any other.
