If you are interested in the man behind this company, I can tell you my short story. In my young age years I was working as a quality controller and a storekeeping manager in the constructions and textile fields at the most important and biggest companies of Sri Lanka. These highly responsible positions were very nice, but they were not satisfying my wanderlust and my love of nature, culture and outdoor activities. So first, I went abroad, I lived and worked in Israel for 2 years. As my father was a professional driver, and I have learnt the proper skills and practices from him in my very early ages, when I come back to Sri Lanka, I started same, to be a tourist driver  in the tourism industry.  After completing several other courses and gaining certificates (certified tourist driver, advanced English and computer sciences, business management) and a lot of experience, I founded my own company dedicated to the tourism. The God gives me a big luck to find the love of my life, my wife, who is a European lady, working in the similar field as me, so later on we not only become partners in our life-journey, but in our business too. SunRide Tours is a family –run business, with a passionate and friendly and professional approach.

My motto is:

“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live.”

(Hans Christian Andersen)
