A Sri Lankan family company creating journeys with warmth, curiosity and a deep respect for the island we call home.
Chris Lanka Holidays began with a simple idea that the best way to experience Sri Lanka is through the eyes of the people who call it home. What started as a small, family-run operation has grown into a trusted name in tailor-made Sri Lankan travel, built one carefully planned journey at a time. Today, our team of local experts continues that same tradition, combining generations of on-the-ground knowledge with genuine hospitality to design journeys that feel personal, authentic, and effortlessly organised, from the moment of arrival to the final farewell.
Our team has spent years exploring every corner of Sri Lanka, from hidden village trails to viewpoints, and that on-ground familiarity shapes every itinerary we design.
We manage every moving part of your journey – transport, accommodation, timings, and last-minute changes - so you can focus on the experience rather than the logistics.
As a family-owned company, we bring a personal level of care to every booking, building relationships with travellers rather than simply processing transactions.
Every journey is supported by experienced, professionally trained drivers and a well-maintained fleet of vehicles, so comfort and safety are never an afterthought.
Chris Lanka Holidays is guided by a small, hands-on board that combines decades of Sri Lankan business experience with a first-hand understanding of the markets we serve.
Chris Perera founded Chris Lanka Holidays after more than 30 years leading Personal Financial Services at one of Sri Lanka’s leading private banks. That experience in building trust and delivering exceptional service now shapes every itinerary the company designs. Having spent decades helping people achieve their financial goals, Christus turned to a lifelong passion for travel, creating tailor-made holidays that introduce guests from Australia, the UK, Canada and beyond to the authentic beauty, culture, wildlife and hospitality of Sri Lanka.
Christine Perera leads Chris Lanka Holidays’ presence in Australia from her base in Adelaide, South Australia, giving the team a first-hand understanding of what Australian travellers expect from a Sri Lankan holiday. A graduate in Business Analytics and a qualified Early Childhood Teacher, she brings sharp analytical thinking and genuine care to every itinerary, working directly with clients and travel partners across Australia from the first inquiry through to the completion of the journey.
Dulari Perera brings more than 20 years of business leadership to Chris Lanka Holidays as the Promoter and Managing Director of Premier Management Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, where she has led the development of a well-established international school. She has also represented a world-renowned beer brand as one of its principal consignment agents in Sri Lanka. Her experience in operations, customer service and people leadership shapes the caring, approachable service every Chris Lanka Holidays guest receives.
Our mission is to design journeys that go beyond sightseeing, connecting guests with local people, traditions and places while supporting the communities that make those experiences possible, always delivered with the care and reliability of a family-run business.
We envision Chris Lanka Holidays as Sri Lanka’s most trusted name in personalised travel, recognised for journeys that leave travellers with an understanding of the island rather than a checklist of sights.
