Picture yourself standing above the morning mist on Pidurangala Rock, walking across Nine Arches Bridge in Ella, or relaxing on the golden sand of Silent Beach in Tangalle.

Combining aerial drone footage with crisp camera portraits lets you capture the full scale of Sri Lanka's landscapes instead of just a standard selfie.

I am Jezeel, the drone pilot and photographer behind DroneYourTour. I plan and shoot sessions for solo travelers, couples, friend groups, and surprise proposals so you never have to worry about drone rules, timing, or crowded viewpoints.

Wherever you are visiting from, we will plan the route around your travel dates, outfits, and favorite spots across the island.

Why book a drone pilot who's local?

Bringing a drone into Sri Lanka as a tourist requires strict permits. Booking a local pilot saves you time, customs hassle, and guesswork.

I know where you can and can't fly

Sri Lanka has strict rules around heritage sites and national parks. I handle safe, legal flying and know the quietest sunrise windows at Pidurangala Rock, Silent Beach in Tangalle, Nine Arches Bridge etc.

We plan around wind and weather

Tropical rain and mountain winds shift quickly. I monitor local forecasts and adjust our timing so we get clear skies and safe flying conditions.

You don't need to know how to pose

Whether you are solo, a couple, or a group of friends, I guide you on where to stand and walk so your photos and drone videos look effortless.

You don't have to arrange it all yourself

Need help arranging a local driver, tuk tuk, or entrance tickets? I share trusted local contacts and exact meeting points before your shoot.

Planning your outfits, climbs and proposal

A little preparation makes a huge difference in how your photos and drone videos turn out.

Outfits and comfortable shoes

Bright or flowing colors like white, red, yellow, or beige stand out vividly against green tea hills and blue ocean water. Bring sneakers or sandals with good grip for rocky climbs like Pidurangala Rock and Little Adam's Peak, and pack your outfit change in a small backpack.

Keeping a proposal secret

If you are planning a proposal, message me privately beforehand. We can pretend it is a standard travel shoot while I position the drone and camera for the big moment.
