Where we fly.

We travel across the island. These are some of the places travellers ask for most.

  • Galle Fort & the south coast

    Ramparts, the lighthouse and the coastline from Unawatuna to Mirissa.

  • Ella & the hill country

    Rolling tea estates, misty valleys and the famous railway through the hills.

  • Sigiriya & the Cultural Triangle

    Jungle, lakes and rock landscapes around Sigiriya and Dambulla.

  • Mirissa & Weligama

    Palm-lined beaches, surf breaks and turquoise bays.

  • Arugam Bay & the east coast

    Surf points, lagoons and quiet beaches from Arugam Bay to Trincomalee.

  • Your villa or venue

    Anywhere on the island, from a private villa to a wedding venue.

Some heritage sites, sacred places and security areas are no-fly zones. We plan every route to follow Sri Lanka's drone rules.

Drone shoot questions.

Can I fly my own drone in Sri Lanka?

Drones in Sri Lanka must be registered with the Civil Aviation Authority, and flying also needs clearance from the Ministry of Defence. For most travellers it's easier to book a local pilot who already has the paperwork and knows where flying is allowed.

Where can you fly?

Most beaches, hill country and countryside locations are possible. Some heritage sites, sacred places, airports and security areas are no-fly zones, so we plan each shoot around the rules and suggest the best nearby spots.

Who arranges the permits?

We get the Ministry of Defence and Civil Aviation Authority approvals, and those fees are included in our prices. If your shoot is at a third-party location, such as a hotel, villa, venue or archaeological site, you'll need to get permission from that location. For example, a hotel shoot needs the hotel's approval.

What if the weather is bad?

Drones can't fly safely in heavy rain or strong wind. If the weather turns, we move your shoot to another time or day during your trip.

What do I get?

Every package includes a 1-minute edited video and 12 edited aerial photos. You also get all the raw footage from the shoot on a pen drive.

Do you work outside the south coast?

Yes. We can fly anywhere in Sri Lanka. Transport for our team to and from the shoot location is provided by the client. Tell us your route and dates, and we'll suggest where and when to fly.

Can you film proposals, honeymoons and weddings?

Yes. Aerial shots work beautifully for proposals, elopements and wedding venues. Message us early so we can plan the location and timing.
