WE ARE TAKING 'PRE BOOKINGS' FOR THIS
2021 TOUR- HOW DOES IT WORK?
If you have a read below, it outlines a rough itinerary and outline of our Sri Lanka tour for 2021.
For anyone who is really keen to hold a spot on this tour- we are taking a holding deposit of $500
per person. There is an option one and an option two so you can choose which one would suit
your preferences and budget.
In May 2020 we will be heading over to Sri Lanka to visit all the accommodations and also test
out the whale swim and land activities to make sure it is suited to our vision of this trip. Once we
return we will release the final version of this tour, and anyone who has put down a deposit will
have the chance to get their money back if they are not satisfied with any changes that may
occur.
We have done a LOT of research and spoken to all the right people about where to go, but we
just want to make sure that it is a wonderful trip and falls in line with Majestic Whale Encounters
standards.
