What travellers are saying
- Karpagam Naresh1 contributionI was excited for my first camping experience to Yelagiri but was bit apprehensive on how it would be. It turned out to be the best experience ever. The tents and washrooms were very neat. The camp managers Raghu and Sanjay were easily approachable, friendly and accommodating. They helped us with what we want and were taking very good care of the tribe. They helped us a lot during the trek and very encouraging so that all of us could have an unforgettable experience! The adventure sports was so much fun and thrilling too! Looking forward to the next trek with tentntrek!Written 26 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PedroMRamosBoca Raton, Florida22 contributionsGreat guys! I booked them for a few hours on a Saturday and Sunday, Prasanna is highly responsive, his team again very competent and they'll do everything to put you on fish.
Caught a couple of Kings on trolling and had a ton of fun jigging and popping.
The boat is in top condition, well kept and you feel safe the whole trip. Safety is their main concern.
All in all a great experience, at the same level as any other I've had in Florida and around the world.
I'll be back and I'll go out fishing with then again!Written 16 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The team at Southview tours is great and very thorough. They reply to every message and confirm everything with us prior to our arrival.
Our driver Alaguu was great and very professional. He helped us at every Temple we visited and explained the different procedures. He found a way out in all the difficult driving situations as well.
We were really happy with this.Written 3 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

While you are in the area the old markets are across the road where you can purchase many different items.Written 7 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NIRMAL KUMAR R1 contributionFinally I found a place nearby Chennai for a one day trip. I can't explain how I spent each and every second over there company dominated with nature. Actually it should not be rated with stars at all. Very neat and clean space to live.

- MaildiaryChennai (Madras), India3 contributionsThey publicise as sports fishing company. Booked a two hour ride with family and kids expecting some action catching fish. On the contrary, they make you sit in a boat and drive for an hour. Then the boatman would drop three hooks in the sea and continue to drive the boat. You dont even get a chance to touch those fishing rods. All the while, you sit like lame ducks in the boat and the boat returns back stating you guys have no luck.
When you go sports fishing, you would expect the boat to stop for a while in the sea, enjoy dropping the hooks, wait for sometime for the catch and if you still dont get, its atleast acceptable. But the boat keeps driving and their seats don’t even have a cushion and they are simple hard steel seats. Everyone in the family complained about back pain on return.
You can very well go for such a ride in muttukadu and come back with some satisfaction. Here, you pay Rs. 12000 for a worn out boat to venture into a sea for couple of hours and come back with back pain. Everyone were super disappointed.
Please do not advertise yourself as sports fishing company. Even if someone is not able to catch fish, for the money you charge, atleast maintain the boat properly so people can comfortably sit.
Do not get lured looking into the pictures in their website. If you prefer a motor boat ride into the sea in a worn out boat and pay through your nose, i would recommend this.Written 22 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I think the instructors are ok but the facilities are awful.
They used open boats with no seats. We had a rough ride out sitting on the bottom of the boat sloshing with water and getting drenched with sea spray. There is nowhere to keep anything dry and then you sit out in the sun for most of the trip and get burnt. Luckily I put on some sunscreen but my legs got badly burnt. And don't rely on the umbrella they give you as it doesn't stop the sun.
On our second dive we found our boat anchor sitting on the bottom with no ropes attached. I took on my dive guide's weight belt and he carried the anchor around. Not surprisingly this was not a long or fun dive. Back on the boat in the hot sun they had brought a 1 litre bottle of water to share and a watermelon.
I did 2 days diving in Goa and the price was similar but the facilities and servicing were much better. Suggest you just DON'T do it in Chennai.Written 1 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
