A few bags of Ceylon Tea from Dilmah is just one of many many amazing things Sri Lanka has to offer. And most of it wont fit in a bag. Which is why you need to come down here and experience the wonders yourself.

Ceylon Tea is widely regarded as some of the best in the world. Sri Lanka has many different tea growing regions (similar to wine), each with its distinct characteristics. The tea regions are also geographically diverse, ranging from mountainous cold climates to the sun-kissed foothills of Galle. And our tours almost always include a visit to tea country, often by train on a route that is considered one of the most scenic in the world.

We believe humanity's beauty is in its diversity. Just like the places we travel to from continent to continent are different. So are people. And that diversity spills out in our arts, culture, ideas and makes life so much more joyful and meaningful. Sri Lanka's LGBTIQ story is evolving but we are proud of being pioneers in LGBTIQ travel to Sri Lanka. Particularly as a LGBTIQ owned brand that is immersed in the local LGBTIQ community. And as we (Sri Lanka) emerge from a very difficult time we are hopeful for our future and Proud about weathering the storms, as our true and authentic selves.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH WORLD.

Our Story

All about Foozoo Travel

For the time poor traveller and the experience seeker

When you are busy managing your work, family or business in every waking moment of your life, Foozoo Travel offers a meaningful and rest assuring way out. Simply provide the Foozoo Team with your intended travel dates, interests and expectations and they will whip up a holiday. One that not only meets yours requirements, but also personalities, hobbies and so on. All you need to do is book the flights and hop on. From the moment you are welcomed at the airport, till the last goodbye, every aspect of your holiday is thought out and enhanced for your satisfaction.

A holiday that feels like a holiday – at your own pace

For some there is a thrill in figuring out a destination. For example certain travellers might enjoy doing their own research, picking transport modes and times of travel, deciding on which hotel to stay in when at a certain local destination. For others this just might see to take away from the time they have to enjoy Sri Lanka. This is why our plans handle all of these aspects in consultation with you. So when you start your holiday, it feels like one right throughout. Additionally, we pay attention to the pace of your holiday. So you may find the plan is nice and slow to go with your desire to wind things down or full on active to be in line with your desire to cover as much of the sights and sounds as possible.

Travel with your Sri Lankan BFF

From the moment you confirm your holiday with us, we put you in touch with a ‘Tour Manager’. This person will become your local best friend even before the holiday. You will stay in touch through WhatsApp, Facebook or Skype so you get to know each other. On arrival you will not be met by any representative but this friend you have been in touch with. He/She will then take you on a Sri Lankan holiday, like only a Sri Lankan best friend can. This eliminates the feeling that you work with a company and gives you a feeling of being, totally at ease. Now you won’t have qualms about wanting to see something more or do something else. Hence our saying, ‘we don’t do itineraries, we do friendships’. Our reviews will prove just how much this approach has transformed what could have been a ticking the boxes holiday into a full on immersive experience.

Foozoo Features - Built on local insights

Sri Lanka is becoming a big travel destination. And with it each destination is becoming one in a line of places you need to see or visit. That in our eyes, is completely wrong. Sri Lanka’s magic lies in how you experience a destination. So while time constraints may require you to go on the much travelled tourist route, we will make every one of those stops unique. This is achieved by pacing your travel, recommending minimum stay times, including local activities, meeting locals, doing what locals do and taking you ‘off the beaten track’. We refer to these inclusions and enhancements as ‘Foozoo Features’. Some of these include visiting secluded waterfalls only locals know off, spending a night in a tree house, fishing by a lake and then preparing your own fish, playing dress up in traditional Kandyan attire or even the selection of hotels where the property has a story to tell about that particular destination.

Why Foozoo Travel?

Traveling brings people together. It allows us to make connections, share ideas, and change the world for the better. Unfortunately, travel also causes environmental threats by way of increased carbon footprints, westernise local cultures and kill the magic. We are a company built on a philosophy of inclusiveness and run by people who love mother earth and its precious inhabitants. We believe in a success story that strikes a balance between what we can gain and what we can give. Therefore, every day we continue to change our business to reach the ultimate goal of being a 100% sustainable business that nurtures and enhances the quality of local communities, the immediate environments we work in and the planet at large. Some of our initiatives are:

• Supporting reforestation efforts by planting trees to offset the negative impacts of Co2 emissions arising from each tour.

• Limiting waste arising from each holiday by providing reusable travel packs featuring metal straws, cutlery, toothbrushes etc.

• Incorporating eco-friendly personal care item such as soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc

• Connecting with the human side by putting you in touch with needy people or communities. In the past these activities have involved supporting local LGBT organisations, provision of wheelchairs, planting trees or helping a rural school

These exercises and initiatives help us realise our goal of a fully rewarding travel experiences. One that rewards you with a holiday and the joy of connecting with fellow earthlings and one that rewards us in enabling these beautiful connections to take place.

Foozoo Travel & the LGBT Community

Because Foozoo Travel is LGBT owned it has a focus on LGBT travel. The same holistic approach of the business can therefore also extend into fostering a better understanding of the LGBT community among the local population. It also allows the founders a chance to showcase their home to a likeminded audience. However Foozoo Travel, in the spirit of inclusivity is really for everyone.

In the years ahead we look forward to aggressively marketing our products to pet friendly, disability friendly, solo women travel groups.

Is Foozoo Travel only for Sri Lanka?

The simple answer is no! We are working to expand the Foozoo travel experience to countries within the South Asian region. We are also looking to build a network to facilitate outbound travel from Sri Lanka and the region to other global destinations.
