Had the best time learning how to surf. We had 4 kids all try surfing for the first time and all were successful riding the waves like pros. Weligama Bay is the perfect spot for the beach relaxing and surfing all hours of the day. Had a great time.
Pradeep had a great team teaching us and was great to work with.

From start to finish Pradeep was more like a member of the family then a tour guide. He was professional and easy to set up the itinerary we wanted. We communicated during messenger and video chat. His pricing was more then reasonable. He was always on time and ready for the day! We did a four day tour which involved airport transfers and squeezing in as many sites as we could. My two sons enjoyed him. Overall this was a phenomenal vacation! I would not hesitate to book him again and to refer him to friends and family. We stayed at the Marriott Weligama Beach which is over two hours from the airport and he and his driver made us feel safe and secure. They are used to dealing with families snd can make changes as needed for washroom breaks, food and drinks. I am happy to answer any questions. In particular the day safari to Udawalawe National Park was the best! We saw over 60 elephants, peacocks, water buffalo, birds, and more all up close. Pradeep hired an expert driver/guide that ensured we had a great day! If you’re going to Sri Lanka hire Pradeep you won’t be disappointed!

We came back after 2 years and used Weligama Wurf Tours for our trips and transfers and everything was perfect. Pradeep´s services are not the cheapest ones but very reliable, always on time and safe. And that´s what matters when you´re on vacation...

Not sure what happened here but rather baffled by all of the glowing reviews.
We didn't meet either of the two people everyone else is talking about. In fact it appeared we were shipped off to completely different surf school but made to pay triple their rate!!!
The surf school we were taken to (by Weligama's arranged tuk tuk) actually cost 1500 rupees for a lesson but somehow by booking through Weligama's Facebook guy we ended up paying 4300 rupees each!!
So for a total of 17,500 rupees we received a 45 minute lesson and 1 hour of surfing before we were told that to continue using the boards we would have to pay more.
The guy from Weligama telephoned us a couple of times to discuss the issues we were having but didn't explain where he was and why he wasn't involved at all.
Finally we were given the impression a tuk tuk would drop us back to our hostel but because we had been taken to another surf school they didn't know about this so we had to pay another 500 to get back.
All in all this was VERY EXPENSIVE. It cost us more than whale watching which included food/drinks/transfers/whales.
I've face booked the company saying a similar thing to this review but haven't had a response.

We were 100% satisfied with Pradeep ! We came with our 3 kids for 10 days , to explore Sri Lanka . Pradeep told us were to book the hotels and prepared us before we got there . He picked us from the airport and kept with us the whole tour - guiding , explaining , organizing , supporting , negotiating. All with a big smile and great energy . We enjoyed beautiful Sri Lanka , the landscape , people , history , beaches .we highly recommend 😘 Iris and Daniel .

Couldn't have asked for a better tour guide, and activity organizer. Pradeep was always on time, had the best recommendations for restaurants, and made getting around Sri Lanka super easy.

From the time we were picked up at the airport up until we were dropped off again Pradeep and his tuk tuk driver Sunil took great care of us. OUr trip went through so smoothly after following most of his advice. My wife will forever remember the wave she caught at that secret point.Can only recommend Weligama Surf tours for your trip to Sri Lanka
PS....thanks for the great meal at your place and waking up early to take surf pics of my wife at no extra cost....you're a legend!!!

Pradeep is an amazing resource if you are traveling to Sri Lanka. He is easy to communicate and will help you plan your trip in advance. He was punctual and reliable with all of our plans and fun to hang out with as an added benefit. He was also a very safe driver which is not a given in Sri Lanka! I recommend him to everyone.

Pradeep saved us on our holiday in Sri Lanka several times. Sri Lanka is a beautifull country and the people are very freindly, but it can be difficult to navigate around - especially as not many are good at english and ditections and planning can be very confusing and you can end up using a whole day to get from one place to another on a very dangerous bus ride. Pradeep saved us from alot of bad choices and was so helpfull and inviting. We felt very safe and cared for and we got the best information on where to eat the best food for very good prices. So you even save money with Pradeep at your side. We really recommend investing in some guidance from Pradeep. It will undoubtly make your visit to Sri Lanka so much better! He is honest, cool, knows so much about the country, is well connected and amazingly helpful - for exampl he made sure we got train schedules and just made sure we didn't go wrong (which we were very much en route to several times), but got the very most out of a wonderfull holoday in a very beautifull country! Highly recommended!!! Thankyou so much Pradeep for making our holiday such a success!
