4. Bookings & Confirmations
A booking is considered confirmed only upon receipt of a written confirmation email from Ceylon Paradiso and payment of the required deposit. Verbal agreements or website enquiries do not constitute a confirmed booking.
You are responsible for ensuring that all booking details, including passenger names, travel dates, accommodation preferences, and dietary or accessibility requirements, are accurate at the time of booking. Ceylon Paradiso accepts no liability for errors arising from inaccurate information provided by the Client.
5. Pricing & Payments
All prices quoted on our website or in written proposals are in US Dollars (USD) unless stated and are subject to change without prior notice until a booking is confirmed. Once confirmed in writing, the quoted price is binding for the specified itinerary.
Payments may be made via bank transfer, credit/debit card, or other methods as advised at the time of booking. Full payment is required no later than 30 days before the commencement of your tour, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Ceylon Paradiso reserves the right to apply surcharges for fuel price increases, government-imposed taxes or extraordinary cost increases beyond our control. We will notify you of any such surcharges as early as possible.
6. Cancellations & Refunds
Cancellation by the Client
Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to us. The following cancellation charges apply from the date the written notice is received:
- More than 60 days before departure: Loss of deposit only
- 30–60 days before departure: 50% of total tour cost
- 15–29 days before departure: 75% of the total tour cost

Cancellation by Ceylon Paradiso
In exceptional circumstances, including natural disasters, civil unrest, government travel advisories or force majeure events, Ceylon Paradiso reserves the right to cancel a confirmed booking. In such cases, we will offer a full refund of all monies paid or the option to reschedule at no additional cost. We are not liable for any consequential losses, such as airfares or visa fees.
No-Show Policy
No refund will be provided for no-shows or voluntary early departure from a tour once it has commenced.
7. Travel Insurance
Ceylon Paradiso strongly recommends that all Clients obtain comprehensive travel insurance prior to departure. Insurance should cover, at minimum, medical emergencies, trip cancellation, personal liability, and loss or theft of baggage. We do not provide travel insurance and accept no liability for losses that would be covered by adequate insurance.
8. Health, Safety & Client Obligations
You are responsible for ensuring that you are medically and physically fit to participate in your chosen tour activities. Clients with pre-existing medical conditions or disabilities must disclose these at the time of booking. We reserve the right to refuse participation in any activity where we reasonably believe it poses a risk to the Client or others.
All Clients are expected to comply with the instructions of our guides, drivers, and staff at all times; respect local laws, customs, religious sites, and wildlife; behave responsibly and in a manner that does not endanger others; and obtain all necessary visas, travel documents, and vaccinations required for entry into Sri Lanka.
Ceylon Paradiso accepts no responsibility for any loss, injury or delay arising from a client’s failure to comply with these obligations.
9. Liability & Disclaimer
While we take every precaution to ensure the safety and quality of our services, Ceylon Paradiso acts as an agent for hotels, transport providers, activity operators, and other third-party service providers. We are not liable for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, delay or expense arising from the acts, omissions or negligence of any third-party provider.
To the fullest extent permitted by Sri Lankan law, our total liability to any client for any claim shall not exceed the total amount paid by that client for the relevant tour or service.
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our own negligence.

Any disputes arising from or in connection with these terms shall first be referred to mediation. If mediation fails, disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Colombo, Sri Lanka.
