FAQ
What is the difference between an excursion and a photography tour?
The multi-day tours cover multiple regions across Sri Lanka over five or more days. First Light’s excursions are compact, two-hour to single-day experiences focused on one location, area or festival. If you have limited time or want to focus on a specific subject, an excursion is the right choice.
How long do the excursions last?
The excursions range from two to eight hours and are structured to make the most of available light, with early starts and late evening endings. Full details are provided on each excursion page.
Where do the excursions operate?
All excursions currently operate along Sri Lanka’s south-west coast corridor, between Negombo in the north and Galle in the south. Each is based in a single location or compact area within this corridor.
How much do excursions cost?
Excursions are priced from $800. Each is available as a private booking for individuals, with pricing for small groups available on request. Get in touch for a full quote and availability.
How many photographers can join an excursion?
All excursions are available as private bookings for individuals or small groups. If you are travelling with others, get in touch to discuss group pricing and logistics.
Can I combine locations from different excursions?
Yes. The excursion itineraries are a starting point rather than a fixed programme. Locations from different excursions can be selected and combined into a customised tour built around your photographic interests. Get in touch to discuss your options.
