Excellent day trip with loads to see and experience. Our driver, Deshan spoke very good English and pointed things out along the way. Very courteous and polite. Drove safely.

It was a great bird watching tour! We started early, 0530am, and got to the marsh just in time for sunrise! My driver Gayan was at the hotel 15 minutes before the scheduled pickup, so we had time to get a quick breakfast and tea! The boat captain was awesome, very knowledgeable, and quick to spot lots of tiny birds in the distance! We got to see 6-8 Kingfishers and some naughty monkeys! A delicious coconut, some bananas, and a smooth ride made the experience worth repeating!

This excursion was one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka. Our guide Chamile was incredibly knowledgeable and told us what to look for and what we were experiencing. He found the perfect balance between being a guide and giving us room to enjoy the experience with his expert guidance. The pilot of the catamaran (sajeewa) guided us around the lagoon with such a relaxed ease. We started at dawn and meandering around the lagoon spotting some of the 146 species of birds was incredibly peaceful and fascinating. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. This may not be as flashy as seeing turtles or elephants. But it was an amazing experience that i will treasure and one that i wasn’t expecting.

It was a very remarkable trip from colombo to kandy. We visited many good places and sites on the way and our driver Mr Shamind helped us alot during this trip to guid our journey and helped us to find good foods of our taste. Overall it was very memorable trip for us.

We arrived in Sri Lanka late afternoon and had a private night tour of Colombo booked due to our short stop over, however wanted to see what we could. Booking times were available until late, however with a 5:30pm arrival, Trip Advisor advised an 8:30pm night tour would be fine when we checked with them. Driver was 30mins late, and we had to chase up Trip Advisor to see if they were coming. On arrival he didn’t seem to know what was included. Our hotel manager even was concerned and spoke with him to ensure we were all good and even obtained his contact number. Private guided tours in the past, we would be provided with local knowledge etc. We arrived at the first stop, and were asked on arrival to pay for entry, luckily I had my confirmation on me to show this was advised to be covered in my package, eventually they let us in. Our guide stayed outside, so we were not really sure what we were looking at, if we could take photos etc. Next stop, closed, and the guide advised that this time of night most places were closed. Took us to what was open. Again stayed at the car and we wondered around ourselves not sure what was going on at the stop. Found it very disappointing. If we booked as per timeslot availability and advised it was fine, Trip Advisor should have know venues would be closed and we wouldn’t get the experience paid for. With later times online available, those booking these times would miss most of it. Felt like good money was taken with little care or consideration of the experience.

Our trip to Galle was fun and informative. Vidu greeted us with a huge smile and spoke great English. He was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and landmarks on the way. The riverboat safari was a highlight. Do make sure you have enough cash to pay and extra for tips. A lot of places do not take cards. The turtle sanctuary does take cards and the guide was able to explain how and why the turtles often ended up there (nets, pollution, sharks). Most are released but some will not be as they would not survive. Driving through the Tsunami village was emotional, seeing the places still standing but showing the effects of that terrible time. The contrast in seeing the beach so beautiful and the sea so blue made it hard to believe what actually happened there! Galle was very interesting and Vidu had a lot of knowledge about the fort and lighthouse. We asked to skip the Mask factory as we preferred to spend our time outside sightseeing. We were taken to Jungle beach, a beautiful secluded place with lots of wildlife around it. I wish we had bought our swimming gear as it would have been lovely to spend more time there. The last visit was to see the stilt fisherman which we believe is more for the tourists now but nevertheless interesting to see. Vidu really made this trip. He was friendly, chatty and really made the day. We would totally recommend.

I recently toured Sigiriya and Dambulla with Gayan as our driver. visited the Dambulla Cave Temple and Sigiriya Rock Fortress. The intricate cave statues and vibrant frescoes were captivating. Climbing Sigiriya Rock offered breathtaking views and a glimpse into ancient history. Gayan’s excellent driving skills and local knowledge made the experience even better. The tour company provided amazing service and plenty of snacks, which added to the enjoyment of the trip. Highly recommended

This tour came about because we had a Kandy to Ella train booked and it was cancelled at the last minute. The company agent worked really hard late at night to sort us out for the following morning. The trip was modified to accommodate our needs and the price adjusted accordingly. That’s pretty good service by anyone’s book and shows that this firm won’t leave you in the lurch.

I chose an early start to hopefully catch the early birds 😉 the drive was interesting catching fish markets and early church goers. Unfortunately not many birds about but I did see peafowl with a male dancing, bee eaters, pelicans, pond herons and egrets

Day trip to Galle Fort and surrounding area.... Our Guide & driver was Vidu Wanshaja... an ever smiling, every ready & ever helpful person...! Picked us up from our Hotel at 9:30 am and off we drove to Galle Fort in the South.... Talkative and good descriptions of the places along the route... stopped to treat us to the local special coconut water from the roadside vendor at a picturesque location at a beach .... also special Sri Lanka Bananas at another location.... Afternoon, took us to a famous place which is reputed to be where Lord Hanuman is reputed to have brought the special sanjeevani herb to cure Lord Lakshman, since he couldnt recognise, he brought and placed a part of the hill at this location! Wonderful... then took us to an isolated unknown beach downhill (its quite a downhill walk, but worth it) for a late lunch.... a wonderful tiny beach with a shack called Sansthara Fishing Line rustic but with toilet facility... Galle Fort was a must visit for its serene location, nice Cafes and the fort walk..... watch out, everything starts shutting down by 8:30 to 9 pm.... Evening set out on the drive back... Vidu could easily participate in an F1 race and win it if it took place during peak traffic in Colombo city! breakneck would be an understatement! All in all, a pleasant trip (except for the evening driving skill display) and certainly recommended...!

I just had the best day! Vidu is very knowledgeable and seems to know people everywhere. I loved that he also knows the local spots and does not just take you to the obvious tourist places. Same with the food, I was able to try the real stuff instead of the „not-so-spicy“ tourist version. Loved it! I am left wanting to see more of Sri Lanka. As a solo traveler I can whole-heartedly recommend Vidu and this tour.

A great day out on the water with many beautiful birds and animals spotted. The team were so accommodating and shared great local knowledge. Definitely worth checking out to see some of the beautiful Negombo wildlife

Me and my girlfriend had an amazing tour around Sri Lanka with our lovely tour guide Janaka jayawardana. We created amazing memories and experiences. We love this four hope to come back again soon for another great vacation.
