      The Marigold hotel was the highlight for me. The village and the horses. Great pool area. Very spiritual. Could have stayed for a week. Great memories made and great group of girls. Nitin and Danielle were amazing and calm leaders in every situation! We were blessed to have them. Felt safe the entire trip 👍 Thank you for the memories Sharon

      This was a fantastic trip with a great mix of culture, adventure, food and pampering. Vibrant women and their tour support do a great job in communication and planning. I love that the tour is adapted and Matt’s the need of the group. I’m really looking forward to travelling back in Sri Lanka with confidence now.

      Our Vibrant Women trip to Sri Lanka was amazing. Tammie led us through an amazing experience and always without fail smoothed any issues for our group. A beautiful group of women who shared the adventurous spirit to make this a very special and memorable experience. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and always interesting. The food was delicious. Thank you Vibrant Women for another fabulous holiday.

      l have travelled with Tammie on many retreats: Bali, Fiji, Vanuatu, Awaba, Mount Alford and Port Douglas. Each retreat is a different experience with the same amount of care taken to ensure you feel safe and well catered for. There is always the right amount of adventure, local experiences and down time. The camaraderie between the women is warm and often hilarious. Tammie's organisational skills and attention to detail are smooth and seamless, which make for a most enjoyable experience. Western Australia here I come. Cheryl
