Gayan Abeykoon
Director - Travel Designer
“ Tourism is a vast industry, and the guests come here to enjoy it. I’m in my early 40s and I too enjoy my life to the fullest. I’m so privileged to share what I have learned about culture, wildlife, beaches, food, birds, and most importantly the history of Sri Lanka.”
Gayan started his work in the travel industry over 23 years ago as a Tourist Driver. After a few years, he went to live and work in Australia for some time. There he learned to speak the English language well and learned a lot about Western customs and ways of life, which has given him a major advantage in working with foreign visitors to Sri Lanka when he returned to his beloved Sri Lanka and started SriLankan Pearl. ”

Esther was born in The Netherlands and through her love for and interest in Sri Lanka, she started to promote (traveling to) Sri Lanka to her large network, which resulted in being a Travel Consultant and Travel Designer at SriLankan Pearl. ”
Round tour with private transport
and chauffeur guide
With a private chauffeur guide and your personal itinerary you make the most of your time in Sri Lanka. This is particularly useful if you have a specific destination or activity in mind that may not be served by public transport. And you are always picked up and dropped at your overnight stay location.
Travelling in a private vehicle will be more comfortable than using public transport. You will have more space and amenities like air-conditioning, which can be especially important in Sri Lanka's tropical climate.
With a private chauffeur guide, you will not have to worry about navigating unfamiliar roads, finding transportation, or dealing with language barriers. Your guide will take care of all of these details, so you can focus on enjoying your trip.
Travelling in a private vehicle can be safer than using public transport in Sri Lanka, as you will have a designated driver and can avoid the crowds and chaos of public transport.
A private chauffeur-guide will also be able to provide valuable insights and information about the places you visit, as well as cultural and historical context, which can greatly enhance your understanding and appreciation of Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is known for its diverse landscapes, from lush rainforests and tea plantations to sandy beaches and ancient temples. These natural attractions can still be enjoyed, and with fewer tourists, it may be possible to experience them in a more peaceful and uncrowded environment.
Sri Lanka is also known for its rich culture and history, with many ancient sites and monuments to explore, as well as traditional festivals and ceremonies to witness.
By choosing to travel to Sri Lanka, tourists can help support the local economy and the people who rely on tourism for their livelihoods.
