Trips & Activities

SoulTribe Retreats was established with the mission to explore the beauty of our incredible host countries.

On each of our retreats, we hand-pick incredible, affordable experiences with local tour guides - the perfect blend of yoga and culture. Do as little or as much as you wish!

Udawalawe National Park (see elephants in the wild)
Temple and village tours
Guided jungle bicycle tour
Surf lessons
On-site bath house (one visit included in your stay)
Spa treatments

During retreat we take one full day off for excursions. Recommended excursion is a full day visit to Udawalawe National Park - one of the most reliable places in Sri Lanka to see wild elephants in their natural habitat. Wild herds of Sri Lankan elephants roam open grasslands and near the big reservoir, and sightings are frequent on jeep safaris. It’s also home to the Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home, a reputable rehabilitation centre where orphaned baby elephants are cared for before being released back into the wild

Absolutely incredible retreat as always with Jenn. Jenn picks places with incredible food, amazing people and always gets a good group of people who are friendly and welcoming. Jenn always suggests local things to do which are always a great way to travel and see local culture. Jenn's yoga style is wonderful and she is an outstanding teacher. I always learn so much from her creative, thoughtful, challenging and supportive style. I've been on 11 retreats with Jenn and I look forward to many more :)

Neelima, USA

The setting was beautiful, and the events were wonderfully planned from start to finish. The retreat also offered a beloved sense of community, sharing space with new friends added warmth and connection to 7 days spent together. Jenn is an awesome and incredibly knowledgeable teacher; her clear cues, thoughtful adjustments, and deep understanding of alignment and breath made every class engaging and accessible. I left feeling recharged and more connected to my practice. Look forward to many such soul-nourishing retreats.🙏❤️
