- philipf6150 contributionsAn excellent experience.This was a well organised experience, we were picked up on time and the vehicle was clean and modern. The visit to the local market was very informative. . Our guide was knowledgeable and we were allowed to sample the produce. The Cooking class was held in the guides home with his family helping. We were fully involved in the preparation and cooking of the meal that we enjoyed when it was ready, it was followed by fresh fruit. I would recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys Asian food.Written December 1, 2024

- Travelator-87870 contributionsA great taste of Sri LankaWe had such a great time with Danuka and his family. We went to the markets to learn all about the local produce then went back to their house to prepare our meal. We made so much food, more than 7 different dishes to go along with the rice. We were so full in the end and learnt so much about cooking a Sri Lankan meal. We'll definitely be practicing more at home.Written October 21, 2024
- jameswE3834VQ0 contributions5 starsWhat a great experience my wife and I both enjoyed it very much. We were picked up from our hotel, taken to a fruit, veggies & herbs market where the host showed & explained to us the main ingredients for the dishes we were going to create, we also did some taste testing at the market trying local fruits and veggies. Once we arrived to the hosts house the whole family was their to great us then the cooking began. We made 5 different curries using fish, prawns, veggies & chicken. It was so good that by the end it felt like family. I recommend this to anyone looking for an authentic lesson in Sri Lankan cuisine and culture. Thank you so much for a great time, much love, increase the peace.Written October 21, 2024

- F9950YOkirstyr0 contributionsSri Lanka holidayDhanuka was such an amazing tour guide, he made our trip so memorable! He was great at spotting the animals on the safari and we got to see leopards, elephants and more! He took us to lion rock and the dambulla temples and knew so much information and all the answers to our questions! The hotels booked were lovely and he stopped along the way for us to try the king coconut along the road. When he dropped us off in Columbo he took us around on a tour and took us to the markets and food spots for us to get dinner before dropping us at the hotel! We had such an amazing trip! Thankyou Dhanuka!!Written September 23, 2024

- Cpt_Curls0 contributionsFirst time in Sri Lanka and first safari experienceDhanuka was great, he was super friendly and funny. He knew all the best spots. He even helped us book our jeeps on the safari, which meant we were first in line to enter and could avoid the dust off the other jeeps. He also got us super close to a momma Leopard, herds of Asian elephants and their tiny babies and a musky Tuscker in heat. Dhanuka also took us around Colombo to try some street food and see the city.Written September 23, 2024

- simran59300 contributionsBrilliant experienceThe experience was brilliant! Visiting the market, drinking the king coconut and being welcomed so nicely into Dhanuka’s home. I learned so much and it was very fun and informative. There was lots and lots of food and it was all so delicious!!! The car we travelled in was clean, air conditioned and safe. Really glad we did this and can’t thank our host enough!Written September 17, 2024
- ng6260 contributionsBest honeymoon tripWe booked our honeymoon trip in Sri Lanka with Hellow Travel and it was the best decision we could have made! Our guide was Dhanuka and he made sure we knew all about the history and the information about the places we were visiting and the perfect times to see them, so it really felt like we were in good hands at all times. The transport and the stays went also very smooth and we even got hotel upgrades paying only a small difference, where he made sure we got extra treats. All in all it was a very nice experience and we got to learn so much of Sri Lanka with such a knowledgable guide that made us feel safe and looked after.Written September 2, 2024

We had a great time seeing the whales and dolphins. Our crew was also extremely mindful of the whales behavior patterns and didn’t want to get too close out of respect (very important to me). Our girls unfortunately got sea sick but the crew were so helpful. My husband was able to enjoy the provided breakfast and he said it was delicious. It was a very long boat ride because we had to go very far to see the whales but it was worth it!

Dear Madam,
I'm glad to hear you had a wonderful experience with the whales and dolphins! I hope your girls feel better soon. Despite the long boat ride, it sounds like the memorable encounter with the whales made it worthwhile!
Thank you.

I’ve had the chance to see a hundred of dolphins and a fin whale with her baby. I appreciate the fact that they respect the distance with the animals !
