Indigo Ocean Travels

Faehliex2014-10-14 13:20 We (my girlfriend and I) spent one week with Raja as our driver mid September 2014 in Sri Lanka. Accomodation was organized on our own. I contacted him only a few days before our arrival and he was luckily still available. After the first email he replied within one day. Our plan was a tour through south west of Sri Lanka without a fixed route, only some places we wanted to see and the drop off fixed. Raja was supporting us with recommendations in advance as well as during the trip. Pick up at the airport was working great, he was already waiting at arrivals. Raja assisted us with the communication as well as for purchasing souvenirs etc. However, he was never pushing us to visit any particular place and left us in general a lot space. Raja was only supporting on request. We felt all the time comfortable and safe with him. His language skills are very good & we had no trouble communicating throughout the trip. We spoke English with him but he is also speaking four other languages. As a driver he was very reliable and picked us up always on time. Also traffic in Sri Lanka can be quite chaotic Raja was having overview and was driving defensive, he went slow and didn't take any risks.. Also for accommodation he was having many recommendations. However, we preferred to organize this on our own since our preferances were more on Guesthouses than Hotels. About the car, it is a Nissan Sunny with AC which is very clean, comfortable and reliable. It was working fine also on the steep and curvy way to Horton Plains. Long story short, I can recommend Raja without any hesitation.

Dear Raja
Thank you for such a great holiday it was so much more than we imagined. 
We tried to post the review on your Indigo website but said the page was 
closed so I am emailing it to your address and also on tripadvisor.

"Our family have just spent 2 weeks in Sri Lanka with Indigo Ocean 
Travels with Raja as our tour guide. From the moment we contacted Raja 
we felt at ease, he replied quickly to all our enquires and we soon had 
our holiday planned.

Raja picked us up at the airport in his transport which had ample space 
and always spotlessly clean. Everyday Raja was always on time and ready 
for us his English is great and was full of knowledge and very 
experienced and helpful guide which included been at the right place at 
the right time. Raja was very organised and made the most of our days 
spending the right amount of time at each stop.
We were very relaxed around Raja and he was great with the children. 
Even though he was with us for 2 weeks he was never intrusive but there 
for any help we needed. Our accommodation was wonderful ideally located 
with great views to get a perfect sample of Sri Lanka.

Thank you so much for organising a memorable holiday and wish you all 
the best for the future. We would not hesitate to recommend."




Many Thanks Raja
Mark, Claire, Oliver and Abigail Sherry
