- 114lisae0 contributionsAbsolutely recommend!This was a very fun tour! I loved the lunch portion with the women best. They showed me how to make some of their dishes and everything was delicious!Written December 3, 2024
- 680annabelm0 contributionsWilpattu National Park- just go!Great trip and wonderful park, much less crowded than Yala. Unfortunately our day trip coincided with a tropical storm over the area (lasting for 4days) and we were unable to change the date and were warned by the company that the animals might not be out and about as normal, but I still was very keen. Actually we did see many animals including a mother sloth bear and two cubs, which was thrilling, land monitors, spotted deer, peacocks, water buffalo, pigs two species of monkeys and many water birds as there was low level flooding in the park. Highly recommended, so glad we went, no leopard sightings this time - we were also warned this might be the case (wet weather again), the driver was an excellent spotter and patient with the photo stops. A lovely park to visit if you are on the western side of Sri Lanka, do go.Written November 29, 2024
- Promy180 contributionsColombo city tourAlthough there was problem communicating the driver but a new replacement was done n we could visit the most precious monuments of the city - like - Gangaramana temple, war memorial, floating market, lotus tower , Red mosque n most famous crockery shops like NORITAKE n Dankotuwa…Written November 26, 2024
- mandyb3070 contributionsDo This Tour it is FANTASTICI did the Three Kingdom tour with Christopher. (Easily done in a day) also highly recommended. If you have a free day, you should 100% book this in!! Christopher's English is spot on (must be all the movies he watches), so conversation is easy. The areas driven through as beautiful. He stopped whenever I asked to let me look at other things and even managed to buy me an authentic hopper pan I had been searching for!! The historical sites visited were incredible and I was SO glad I got to see them and learn about the history of this amazing country. Christopher and I laughed, ate snacks, I learn a lot and we had a great dayWritten November 24, 2024
- anniejs19850 contributionsFab cycle through and around Ella!We had a great time on our cycle trip, our guide, Sana, was so kind and knowledgeable about filling us in on the areas we were traveling through. I would recommend, just keep in mind there are some steep hills to cycle up!Written November 11, 2024
- HappyTravelsPreena0 contributionsAwesome Jeep SafariThe jeep safari was awesome! We saw huge herds of elephants in the wild, plus some cool wildlife like peacocks and deer. Our guide was knowledgeable and made sure we got the best views while being respectful of the animals. It was such a fun and safe experience. Recommend it!Written October 21, 2024
- milos_jokic940 contributionsAfternoon safari at Minneriya NPGreat afternoon safari at Minneriya NP. I've seen plenty of elephants throughout the tour (definitely more than 100), as well as some other animals. The car was comfortable and clean, and the whole process was smooth. I want to give kudos to Travceylon for its flexibility, and transparency regarding where and when to expect the most elephants in the area.Written October 21, 2024
- Sasja M0 contributionsGreat afternoonSuper nice experience. We were afraid that we would miss a lot since we only did the afternoon tour, but we saw everything we hoped for, thanks to our great tourguide TharinduWritten October 20, 2024
- ScenicLanka0 contributionsThe Authentic Charm of Sigiriya VillageAs a tour guide, I’ve had the privilege of guiding guests through many of Sri Lanka’s stunning destinations, but the Sigiriya Village tour always stands out as a truly enriching experience. This particular tour offers a unique opportunity to showcase the authentic Sri Lankan village lifestyle and the natural beauty that surrounds the historic Sigiriya region. From the very start, the peaceful walk through the rice paddies immediately captures the essence of rural life here. As a guide, it’s always rewarding to see guests’ faces light up when they take in the expansive green fields and hear the sounds of nature all around. It’s a tranquil contrast to the busier tourist areas, allowing everyone to slow down and truly absorb the environment. The highlight for many, and for me as well, is the traditional catamaran ride on Sigiriya Lake. Guiding guests through the serene waters with the breathtaking view of Sigiriya Rock in the distance is always a magical experience. It’s not just about the sights—it’s also the quiet moments when guests can immerse themselves in the peacefulness of the lake, away from the crowds. One of the most rewarding aspects of the Sigiriya Village tour is the interaction with the local community. As a guide, I love facilitating these connections. Taking guests into a local home, where they are greeted with warm hospitality, is an authentic cultural exchange. It’s heartwarming to see guests engage with the villagers, whether it's through cooking, sharing stories, or learning about traditional farming methods. The smiles and gratitude from both sides show how travel can truly bring people together. For me, this tour is about more than just sightseeing—it’s about offering guests a deeper understanding of the local way of life, something they might not get to experience on a standard tour. It’s also a reminder of the importance of preserving these cultural experiences for future generations. The Sigiriya Village tour continues to be one of my favorite experiences to guide, and it’s always a joy to see how much it resonates with the guests I host. If you’re looking for a meaningful tour in Sri Lanka, one that connects you with nature, culture, and the heart of local life, the Sigiriya Village tour is the perfect choice!Written September 28, 2024
- 688garyn0 contributionsLong and bumpy with an amazing climax.We arrived at the elephant zone at 2pm , 1hour before the other 20 jeeps because their tour doesn’t begin till 3pm where this 6hr tour begun at 10:30am. This was a tremendous advantage to see a herd of 20 elephants in a truly tranquil and beautiful setting. Make sure the tour get you to the elephants by 2pm. Be aware however that the downside of this 6hr tour is 3 hours of tedious scrubland along spine jarring bumpy trails to see a few animals you will see anywhere. The point is you don’t get deeper in to the park and see more elephants for the additional 3hrs. First you get a pretty lake with some birds and water buffalo. Then you visit one small wetland with flocks of ibis. Stalks, pelicans. Then you arrived at the same elephants as other tours , but at 2pm. Maybe ask the driver to drop two hours off the tour and miss the lake section, pretty as it was, because the additional scrubland drive was long and spine jarring. Arriving at the elephants well before other afternoon tours at 2pm, made this tour a good choice.Written September 26, 2024
- Zack G0 contributionsAn amazing way to see elephants in the wild.An amazing experience! We saw so many beautiful elephants roaming free in the nature park. They even walked past our car a couple times so we got to see them right up close. Our guide Asela was incredible too who knew all the best places to see the elephants and taught us a lot about them and the other animals that live there. Highly recommended.Written September 23, 2024
- 5aleksandern0 contributionsA great safariWe took an amazing safari with very friendly and professional crew- everything started with great contact and setup with Dhanushka, who was just lovely, and a pickup from Arugam Bay by Priyantha who drove us around the park in his tough jeep. We’ve seen it all- birds, water buffalos, elephants, even a leopard! We highly recommend this trip to anyone 👌🏻Written September 17, 2024
- isabellao9110 contributionsBrilliant dayWe booked the evening before we went on this trip and everything was organised so quickly. The whole day felt really smooth, no issues at all. We saw so many elephants 🐘 really close up which was amazing!! Both our driver and the safari guide were really nice people, both stoped to show us sights on the way to the park and throughout the safari. Highly recommend!Written September 15, 2024
- mikerJ8929CZ0 contributionsStrongly recommended! AAA+++I strongly recommend this Kumana National Park Safari while in Arugam Bay! Half day spent watching wildlife in the park is definitely worth going for. Very good contact with the tour operator, pickup on time and very polite and nice driver.Written September 7, 2024
- lelelelelelelle0 contributionsAmazing experience with seeing SL wildlifeWe really enjoyed our trip to Wilpattu and were glad we went with a guide. The company was also able to arrange a private transfer to the park for us at our request. At the beginning of the Safari our guide explained that it is not always possible to see a leopard which we appreciated as we entered the day with the right expectation. We got to see a lot of wildlife including a crocodile, bear, mongoose, toucans, buffalo, eagles, monitor lizards and more. We had a wild elephant come up to our jeep within about 5 metres. Our guide was particularly good at spotting/identifying birds and even though our package was supposed to only include water he brought fresh cut fruit and other snacks for us.Written September 3, 2024
