Our Story

Built on Family, Driven by Passion

Jeewa - He Sets The Foundation

Founded in Honour of a Legacy

Jeewa Travel Company was founded in honour of our late father, Jeewan Fernando, a respected and highly experienced tour guide who dedicated over four decades to introducing Sri Lanka to travellers from around the world.

Today, his values are carried forward by two siblings committed to thoughtful travel and meaningful experiences. Having grown up building genuine connections with people from around the world, we learned early that travel is about more than places.

That belief continues to guide everything we do - because what we create is not just a trip, but an experience.
