Fully Bespoke

Every Ed-Et journey is designed from scratch around your interests, pace, and preferences. No two itineraries are identical — because no two travellers are the same.

100% Tailored

A legacy built on
authentic exchange.

Ed-Et Tours was founded in 1977 by Mr. D E A U M Jayatunge — a visionary who believed travel should be a profound exchange, not just a transit. In 2013, his son Arjuna Jayatunge carried that torch forward, reimagining the company for the modern explorer while honoring nearly half a century of operational wisdom. Today, Ed-Et stands at the intersection of generations: meticulous in care, agile in curation.

We believe true distinction lies in authenticity, not just in amenities. Our fleet ranges from standard comfort vehicles to Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and for those seeking a perspective from above, we integrate helicopter transfers seamlessly. Our highly trained guides are specialists in the art of immersion — connecting you with local artisans, community leaders, and culinary experts to create moments of real, lasting connection.

Voices from the island

★★★★★

Our Third Time, Still Perfect

"This marks our third journey organised by Ed-Et. First time was the cultural triangle, second was the beaches, now we're planning hill country exploration. Each trip has been flawless because they remember us — they know my wife doesn't eat shellfish, my father needs early dinners, and our children love animal encounters. That level of personal memory is rare. We don't book with others anymore."

Harry Bennet & Family United Kingdom · Multiple Visits Since 2018
★★★★★

Effortless Luxury with Deep Cultural Connection

"We've travelled with many high-end operators globally, but Ed-Et stands apart. The Mercedes fleet, the heritage properties selected, and the seamless helicopter transfer — every detail screamed quality. Yet it wasn't just luxury; our guide introduced us to a tea plantation owner who invited us into his family home for afternoon tea. Worth every dollar!"

Safari Dreams Made Real

"Yala at golden hour is something we'll never forget. Our guide was an expert tracker — he spotted leopards we would have missed without his knowledge. The jeep was comfortable, the timing impeccable, and Arjuna's team even arranged a private picnic on the beach afterward. Thank you for making our dream holiday a reality!"

They Built Our Dream Trip From Scratch

"We didn't want a standard itinerary. We wanted to learn pottery in Sigiriya villages, stay in a converted temple rest house, and meet local conservationists working on turtle protection. Ed-Et didn't hesitate — they delivered all three. The trip felt uniquely ours, not mass-produced."

Perfect for Grandparents, Parents & Kids Alike

"Booking a trip with three generations requires careful thinking. Speed limits for grandma's mobility, educational stops for the children, downtime for parents — we thought this was impossible to balance. Ed-Et nailed it. Morning activities for the kids, leisurely meals for adults, no one rushed, no one left behind. Our grandchildren still talk about feeding the elephants."

Shawn & Eliza Thomas Canada · Island Heritage Journey · 2026
★★★★★

Safe, Supported & Surprisingly Social

"As a solo female traveller, my concerns were valid. From the moment I landed, I felt protected. Private transfers, vetted accommodations, and constant check-ins from the ground team gave me peace of mind. My stay at the heritage boutique hotel within the UNESCO Galle Fort was so special. What a lot of history we share with Sri Lanka."
