About Ceylonova Global Tours

Our Story

About Ceylonova Global Tours

Sri Lankan-owned, locally guided, passionately committed to showing you the very best of our island home.

Who We Are

Your gateway to the Pearl of the Indian Ocean

Ceylonova Global Tours was born from a simple belief: the best way to experience Sri Lanka is with people who call it home.

Based in Malabe, Colombo, we have been crafting unforgettable Sri Lankan journeys since 2012. From the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya to the misty tea trails of Ella, from leopard safaris in Yala to strolling the ramparts of Galle Fort — we design tours that go beyond the guidebook and into the heart of the island.

We are a full-service inbound tour operator serving independent travellers, families, honeymooners, and small groups from around the world. Whether you want a ready-made package or a completely custom route, our team handles every detail — transport, accommodation, entrance fees, activity bookings, and round-the-clock WhatsApp support — so you can focus on making memories.

Every itinerary is built by Sri Lankan travel specialists who understand road conditions, seasonal weather, festival calendars, and the quiet gems that never make it into mass-market brochures. That local knowledge is what turns a good holiday into an extraordinary one.

“We do not just show you Sri Lanka — we help you feel welcome here, as our guests and as friends of our island.”
