The trip

Different Vehicle.
Same SEAM Vibe.
Whole New Country.

SEAM's first non-motorcycle group trip and first trip outside Thailand. Trade the bike for a tuk tuk and explore Sri Lanka's south coast and hill country — golden beaches, gem mines, misty mountains, single-lane village roads. Open-air, slow paced, completely different rhythm.

Each tuk tuk fits 1–2 people. Ride solo or bring someone. No motorcycle license needed — tuk tuks are manual but easy to pick up, and we'll get everyone comfortable on day one in Negombo before hitting the road. Sri Lankan driving permits handled for you.
