This was a really memorable day. Dinuka picked us up from our hotel and took us to Ella Rock. He gave us so much information, answered all our questions, recounted a stream of stories - and has so much knowledge about the plants, animals, mountain sand Sri Lanka generally. Plus, on the way, we had a couple of - pleasant! - surprises. For the 9 Arches Bridge, he knew when to arrive, where to keep out of the rain and how to take the best photos!. Would really recommend this trip and also recommend that you ask for Dinuka.

Incredible safari with a guide who knows about the animals. We saw elephants, crocodiles, buffalos, iguana and many more.

Careful and on Time driver (kosala ) Good breakfast Good safari with explanation Don't hesitate Everything perfect 👌

I highly recommend this Whale watching and snorkelling experience to all... The catamaran well appointed, the staff were helpful, fun, knowledgeable and attentive. Food was fresh delicious and plentiful. We spotted orcas and lots of dolphins on our day and snorkelled at Dutch Bay beach spotting turtles and an array of fish Good job staff and co Thankyou for the experience Michele x

Tuktukdude Leisure is recommended to book your trip or day trips. We had a good experience with a private driver who showed us the beautiful places in Sri Lanka. They are very friendly and think along about what is fun to do. Family van de Reep

The trip to Yala national park was amazing! Our driver picked us up from our hotel in Ella and was very friendly. Our safari driver was also incredible and we managed to see two leopards and a family of elephants having a bath, as well as lots of other animals! Our driver told us about each of the animals we saw which was great. Overall, the trip was fantastic and well worth the money. We were also able to be dropped to Galle after which was helpful.

I actually did this in reverse. It was a last minute booking due to the train strikes in Sri Lanka but it worked out really well and I’m so glad I did it. It was all very smooth - the driver picked me up from the hotel and took me to Minnerya where a safari keep and guide were waiting to head to the park. The safari itself was lovely and taken at a very leisurely pace. I was then delivered back to the driver who brought me right to my hotel in Negombo. As a lone, female traveller I felt perfectly safe the whole time.

Udaya picked me up exactly at 5.00 am. He was careful and a professional driver. I had no problem with the transportation. The safari was excellent. I saw 10 elephants. I was dropped off at Ella as well. Perfect trip

We were picked up from our accommodation, which was a little further away, by a tuk-tuk. We therefore agreed a pick-up fee with the organiser, which was totally fair. This was solely due to our accommodation and normally the pick-up service in the surrounding area is included in the price. When we arrived, we got straight into the motorboat, we were the only ones as it is a private tour. The two drivers were super friendly and as soon as something was in sight, they accelerated to get close to it quickly. We saw lots of dolphins in our immediate vicinity very early on. And luckily for us, we even saw a whale. As the other tours were probably not so successful, they were contacted by our guide and also travelled to our spot. I have to say, we had great guides. When we were back near the coast, we had bananas, delicious biscuits and water. I can highly recommend the tour. We came without any expectations and saw more than we thought we would. Of course, it always depends on how lucky you are ;)

Overall very good. Smooth transition and hospitable. Driver was kind and thoughtful. Safari driver was a magic eye, finding every animal for watching. The snack they prepare is also delicious. Thanks:)

Good experience - everything as expected or even better. Very nice and friendly driver, perfect transfer. Just be aware that the guide in the park is not included in the price - so adding still a tip to your overall budget (nice and savvy guy, so no skimping :-)).

I am so happy i chose to take this tour! I am traveling alone and was in Ella and really wanted to visit Udawalawe, but the combinations to get there and then the beach were a bit complicated and tiring. I found this tour that was perfect because after the visit to the park, they drop you off in Mirissa. The communication through whatsapp was excellent. The payment easy through a link. I was a bit concerned as a female solo traveler because they pick you up at 5 am, but they were very reassuring. They send you the phone, name and license plate of the driver, even though i have to say that changed the morning of the tour (something to consider, its important these things match) but there were two other girls in the van and we confirmed we were going to the same tour. The tour itself was fantastic!! We saw elephants (a couple babies too!!!), crocodiles, water buffalos, mongoose, rabbits, peacocks and lots of amazing birds! The drive to Mirissa was quick and easy, very experienced driver. Everyone fell asleep, its an intense journey! Highly recommend!

Everything was perfect! The driver was on time and also the safari guy was really friendly and helpful! We had some banana and pancakes for breakfast

It all worked perfectly! Great safari with very good guide. The transfer from Mirissa to Ella was also seamless. We can highly recommend this!

Amazing morning out! Couldn’t have asked for more! From start to finish this trip was amazing. They were very punctual in picking me up and I felt safe as a female solo traveller travelling at 4:30 am. The safari was amazing and the perfect length too! Would 1000% recommend to anyone and the perfect way to break up the journey from the south coast to Ella!
