Small hosts,
small tables
Workshops, kitchens and walks run by the people who own them. Often the person teaching you is the person who started it. Many are taking online bookings for the first time.

Meet Sri Lanka with 
Jackfruit is a marketplace for experiences run by Sri Lanka’s small businesses. Spend a morning at a potter’s wheel in Galle and leave with clay under your nails. Eat lunch in a family kitchen in Negombo, where second helpings arrive whether you asked or not. Walk through Pettah with someone who knows which cart has the best short eats, and will argue about it.
Most of these hosts have never had a way to take bookings from beyond their own lane. We give them one, plus help with the photos, the pricing and the listing. You get the island as the people who live here see it, sticky fingers included.

Hosted by the people who live here
Small hosts,
Plan the day around it
Save what catches your eye, share the list with whoever’s coming, and we’ll suggest what fits in between: lunch in Fort after a morning at the wheel, a nap before the evening surf.
Fair to the people who host you
Hosts set their own prices and keep most of what you pay. Our fees are published, so the only surprise on the day is how much rice you’ll be served.
Save yourself a seat at the table
Join the waitlist and you’ll hear first when bookings open, plus 10% off on your first booking.
Run something worth booking?
A pottery shed, a curry that people cross town for, a boat that goes out at dawn. We’re choosing our first 25 founding hosts across the Southern region of Sri Lanka. Founding hosts pay a lower commission for as long as they stay with us, and our team helps with photos, pricing and your listing. You don’t need a website, and you don’t need to write a word of English.
