Indian Ocean Odyssey has developed from a passion for fulfilling the ultimate holiday dreams, and a continual quest for the finest beach experience ever. Recent years have provided us with an exciting and extending portfolio of options through Mozambique, the Seychelles, Mauritius and Zanzibar.
The sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean wash the shores of idyllic islands, and span clear depths thriving with wild sea life and stunning coral reefs.




Getting To:
British Airways, Air India, Jet Airways and Virgin Atlantic fly direct to most of India's major cities. National airlines are among the companies which fly to the islands: Sri Lankan Airlines to Sri Lanka, Air Mauritius to Mauritius and Air Seychelles to the Seychelles. Various charter flights offer flights to the Maldives Goa, Seychelles, Mauritius and Sri Lanka. In India you can fly between major cities with Air India or get an unlimited travel pass around the sub continent for one, two or three weeks with Jet Airways. Alternatively, consider the train. Over 63,000km tracks criss-cross India making it the perfect way to see the countryside in air-conditioned comfort.

A teardrop-shaped island cast adrift in the Indian Ocean, Sri lanka is filled with cultural and natural treasures. Indians, Portuguese, Dutch and British have all left their marks here, making for a delightful mix of ancient cities, monuments and atmospheric colonial architecture.

At the same time, palm-fringed beaches are never far away and lush mountainous greenery beckons inland. It's clear to see why Marco Polo proclaimed Sri Lanka to be one of the best islands in the world.

Highlights
Colombo, Sri Lanka's largest city, is noisy, frenetic - and just a little crazy. Thankfully, the breakdowns, snarled traffic and power cuts are received with a shrug and a smile. While the city holds less obvious interest than many other parts of the island, it's very colourful and worth a look.

North of the centre is the Fort district, the country's business centre. South is Galle Face Green, a seafront expanse of occasional green. East of the fort is the pungent Pettah bazaar district.

Culture buffs shouldn't miss the National Museum, the Art Gallery, and the city's mosques and temples.
