- mariafR6393RM0 contributionsNice park and good serviceIt was really nice trip, kind driver and they are very communicative on WhatsApp. Highly recommend using their services.

- 516arisao0 contributionsWonderful tourI had a precious time on this tour. They picked me up at 5 am. We did the jeep safari from 8:30-12:30. The view, weather, and wilderness were amazing. Unfortunately, I couldn't see leopards but talking and trying to find animals with tour guide Shanaka made me happy. He is a heartful person and his personality and hospitality are also stunning. Thank you for taking me on the great day trip.Written February 23, 2023

- Ojars1230 contributionsFamily vacation in Sri LankaI would highly recommend Ranjith who was guide and car driver during our stay in Sri Lanka. We are highly satisfied with services Ranjith provided for our family since start to end of our entire tour. We really enjoyed the Sri Lanka tour. Ranjith helped us discover interesting things about Sri Lanka, without him we couldn't do it. We highly appreciate Ranjith’s knowledge and guidance and will remember him as a great person and friend. Thank you!Written January 9, 2020
- 276ilkad0 contributions6-Day Tour through Sri LankaWithin our 4-month stay in Sri Lanka, this trip was definitely one of the best! Our driver, Shan, was very well organized and did everything to make our trip unforgettable. He helped us organizing every day, so that we could see as much as possible in this beautiful country. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to explore the country in a way only locals can do. Thank you so much for arranging such a beautiful trip! We will miss you!Written January 8, 2020
- mdrixeli0 contributionsAwesome 6-day trip through Sri Lanka with great driverWe did a 6-day trip with a group of 4 through central and south Sri Lanka and had an amazing time with our guide. He had really good tips and recommendations on where to go and what to see and told us a lot about the country and the people. Even the long distances between destinations were interesting as we now and then stopped at beautiful locations or had some fruit along the way. We had a really good time and made memories I will never forget! I really recommend these guys and hope your business grows as you deserve it. Thanks again!Written January 8, 2020
- J1088BRtim0 contributionsGreat experience with awesome driverDriving with Island Pearl for six days in Jan. was the best decision ever for our trip. They were unbelievable friendly and they did care so much about what we wanted to see and where we could find secret places. They explained so much about the country and the people living here, what you can barely get while driving on your own. We had so much fun with our driver that the hours between destinations never felt long and during the trips there were always some special points we visited or food we tried. THANKS for all the stunning memories and we hope your business will grow as you deserve! I can recommend them for 100%Written January 8, 2020
- Michelle S0 contributionsExhilaratingThere was a line of people walking the steps to the top. Well worth it. Great time!!! The driver was on time and stopped when we asked.( we wanted breakfast and fruit)Written December 31, 2019
- Dilshan A0 contributionsBest wildlife tour ever.....It was a well-organized trip. We were picked from the hotel around 4 in the morning and reached Wilpattu around 7 am. The driver (Shanka) was very friendly and he taught us a few historical facts about the national park. Our wildlife tour vehicle was in place before reaching the entrance and I would like to highlight the punctuality of those drivers. We could see many wild animals including leopards and elephants very closely and captured numerous beautiful moments through my camera. We have served with a delicious lunch inside the jungle and it was a different experience for us as well. It was such a mesmerizing trip and I would really like to thank the owner of this company for arranging such an adventurous trip and made our vacation extra special.

Our trip started much early in the morning and first included a car trip to the forest itself. Our guide Shanaka came exactly on time and was prepared for the trip.
Despite being a two to three hour journey, the car trip was smooth and passed quickly.
The forest was a thing of beauty. The safari vehicle was ready for us.
After passing the peacock, monkeys and the deer, we saw the sloth bear. Shanaka was over the moon with it. He had rarely seen the animal in his other trips and he was thrilled with starting the trip with the uncommon sight.
The variety of birds right from the serpent eagle to the pigeons were beautiful. It was followed by the foxes, monitors moving on the land and much more.
The guide and the driver both waited and let us observe, see and generally get a feel of the forest.
By afternoon we had seen the leopard and the crocodiles and we were thoroughly thrilled.
It was followed by a fulfilling lunch at Leopard Den, arranged by the guide himself.
The trip back in the car was quiet, but it was filled with plenty of memories of what we had just seen and gleaned. Lovely experience.
