About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- nicolapM5818SW0 contributionsFantastic experience in Sri Lanka!We (an Austrian-Italian couple) did a full two-week tour around Sri Lanka with Dilan/ Jayasak Tours and it was truly amazing! We had a total drive of 1.800 km and visited 8 of 9 Provinces with all the major attractions/sights (for example Dambulla caves, Yala safari, Ella, tea plantations, Sigiriya, Kandy festival, Galle fort, etc.). Dilan is a wonderful guide and a very good driver; always calm and forward-looking. He has a huge knowledge about the culture and the history of Sri Lanka knowing all important facts. Further, he is very pro-active, giving a lot of good suggestions, and it is always possible to also adapt the program, which he drafted for us in advanced according to our individual preferences, booking also all of our hotels. The used vehicle is a very comfortable and clean van with AC. We highly recommend booking a tour with Dilan, you will not regret it! Sri Lanka is a wonderful place and visiting it -relaxed- with Jayasak Tours makes it even better!Written September 8, 2024
- bethanyj8410 contributionsThe BEST family friendly guide 👌🏻Our fantastic guide Dilan at Jayasak Tours… Dilan was the perfect person to tailor make our perfect itinerary as a family of four in Sri Lanka. He is quick to communicate and offer advice, full of fantastic facts and knowledge about his spectacular country, trustworthy, polite, punctual, welcoming and so much more. We spent many days with Dilan and built a fantastic relationship, we explored much of Sri Lanka some of our highlights being: Galle, bentota river cruise, swimming with turtles in hikkaduwa, turtle hatchery, Sinharaja rainforest, Pinnawala elephant orphanage, Sigirya Rock, Yala. Dilan made of trip so memorable and we will miss him dearly, we will be back sometime soon! Thank you again for everything.Written April 6, 2024
- szmkpl0 contributionsElla Day TourWe (two couples) went for a day tour including the whole list offered, as follows: Ravana Waterfall, Train Tour (Hali Ela to Ella), Little Adam's Peak, Nine Arch Bridge, Tea Plantation. We had been collected from our hotel on time, AC car was comfy, our guide and our driver were fully competent in their matters. We had a great time and we are already looking for our next trip together to Sigiriya and Dambulla soon.Written February 29, 2024
- 471filipf0 contributionsThe best tour guide on Sri Lanka. Highly recommended!The best tour guide on Sri Lanka! Very friendly and kind (when I was sick Dilan became a doctor and gave me local medicines - which eventually helped me a lot 😁) with a very good English. We were on three different trips and each of those was an amazing experience. Thank you! * what is more important, Dilan is a very good driver so you can feel totally comfortable and safe ❤️Written October 5, 2023
- X1240EJkg0 contributionshighly recommendedDilan is really a super guide! During our tours, he shared a lot of interesting information about the island and showed us not only the planned attractions but also places with good food. Dilan made sure we felt comfortable and safe. We travelled in a group of 4 and we all have only positive memories from this trip! Highly recommended!Written October 5, 2023
- 544paut0 contributionsThe best Sri Lanka experience ever!We had wonderful tours with Dilan Danushka from Kalutara - he showed us the beauty of Sri Lanka and told us a lot about his country, its history and local customs. We felt extremely comfortable and at ease with our guide, and the tours were organized with attention to detail and our comfort. We were in Yala park, in Udawalawe transit home for elephants, in Ella. Without our guide, we would not have had the opportunity to experience all these places in such a pleasant way. I heartily recommend Jayasak tours to anyone visiting this beautiful country :)Written October 5, 2023
- bencB1078ZT0 contributionsGalle Day Tour - Look no further!We had a great time with Dilan on our Galle Day Tour today, it was my friends birthday so he decorated the riverboat with balloons, had a cake and flowers for her and we went on our tour. We saw lots of different animals - how they can spot them from such a distance is incredible as we certainly hadn’t spotted them! We then went to the Turtle Conservation Project where we had the most surreal time with the turtles taking in the history, culture and work that this centre does. We then went to the tsunami memorial before moving on to Galle itself - a fantastic day and a fantastic guideWritten September 10, 2023
- Jasjaslondo0 contributionsKnowledgeable guide, amazing tour!Dilan was an exceptional and knowledgeable guide on our two tours with him in Sr Lanka. We did the Galle Boat tour on the River Bentota which took us into the Mangroves where we saw Crocs, Snakes, Komodo Dragons and lots of other wildlife native to Sri Lanka. After the boat tour in the Mangroves we headed off to a Sea Turtle Sanctuary - which we researched before we went as honestly not sure how we feel about animal tourism - but these guys were very warm and welcoming and took us through how they encourage poachers to either bring them the Turtle eggs or pay them to leave them alone. We saw new hatchet tortoises and a couple of albino ones who would not survive in the wild - decent conservation effort and high standards. All in all great tour - five stars!Written April 10, 2023
- sailwan590 contributionsFantastic Guide and TripI had a very short notice small window for a trip to Sri Lanka and Dilan was fantastic at communication and sorting an Itinerary for me. Fitting in all my must do's, advising me on some that weren't suitable for the time of year and suggesting things he thought I might enjoy to ensure I got to make the most of my time in country. His van is extremely comfortable, great air con (essential) and reclining seats to relax in. Roads are not the best in Sri Lanka but Dilan is an expert driver who drives always with safety and care in mind. I was a female solo traveler and Dilan made sure I felt safe and comfortable at all times as well as ensuring I had a fantastic time in Sri Lanka. I can not recommended him highly enough, it was a fantastic trip and I would not have done anywhere near the amount of things I did had I not hired Dilan for my entire 4 day trip..Written April 1, 2023

The tours were fantastic with the great tour guide Dilan.
He showed me the most beautiful places at the destinations that I wanted to see and adapted the tours to my interests. Dilan knows a lot and taught me a lot about the country, people, history and local customs.
His van was super comfortable and is very comfortable even on longer journeys. Dilan is an excellent driver who always navigated safely and attentively through the organized traffic chaos.
I was traveling alone as a woman and Dilan did everything to make sure I felt safe and comfortable at all times. I can only warmly recommend Dilan and Jasyasak Tours. Thank you Dilan for the great time, hope to see you again next year.

Don’t think twice, just BOOK THE TOUR!
I had the opportunity to take a day trip with this tour to Ella and Udawalawe, and the itinerary was as follows:
- First, we drove to Ella.
- Visited Ravana Waterfall.
- Took a train ride from Hali to Ella.
- Visited the Nine Arch Bridge.
- Climbed Little Adam’s Peak.
- Went on a Jeep safari at Udawalawe National Park.
- Visited the Elephant Transit Home in Udawalawe.
Our guide, Dilan, was amazing. Whenever we wanted to stop, he accommodated us and shared fun facts about interesting things we encountered (on EVERY topic!). The car had good air conditioning, and Dilan was not only a great driver but also a great person. Conversing with him was a pleasure as he has so much knowledge about Sri Lanka. Dilan was always checking to make sure everything was okay and ensuring that we got good prices for everything we purchased from shops. It was very helpful to know that you could order something with confidence because Dilan was there to ensure everything was fine, especially when someone didn't speak English.
Contacting the agency was very easy via WhatsApp. Everything was clear, and if we had any questions, they were explained very well.
If you're worried about waking up at 3 am, let me assure you, it is WORTH IT. When the sun comes up, you find yourself in truly beautiful places where you really appreciate the moment.
I know they also offer multi-day tours, so if you’re interested in that kind of travel, you should definitely contact them. Or, if you just want to have one very high-quality day, you HAVE TO reach out to them. Most other travel agencies were pushing us to take a 2-day tour (which we didn’t want; we were only interested in a one-day tour), but after contacting Jayasaktours, everything was easy. We told them what we wanted, and we got more than we expected at a GREAT PRICE.
We were fully satisfied with the tour—it exceeded our expectations.

Very early start and late finish - but Dilan was the best driver to have on a long drive - very careful and if you have never been on the roads of Sri Lanka before trust me - you need a very *careful* driver :-)
Dilan picked us up from our hotel at 03.30 in the AM because the best time to go see animals in the wild is when they wake up so guess what - you have to wake up earlier than them in order to be there to watch them. So we climb in the lovely AC minivan and off we go - we arrive 3hrs later so around 06.30 just in time for a magnificent sunrise and the air was super fresh as the humidity had yet to really build up. We jumped into the jeeps and literally from the moment we rolled into the park there were Elephants, storks, big crocs, bee eaters, Eagles - all manner of beast and foul - really enjoyable tour good to see animals in their natural environment and not being hunted or paraded for tourists- you must get there early - the animals don’t do schedules or show - if you see an elephant (or five or six) then your lucky but we saw lots. We had a great guide as well as a driver and we tipped both 5,000 LKRs as their insight and knowledge were invaluable in spotting the animals (ironically not as easy as you would think - elephants move almost silently) lovely day, great experience - Dilan was amazing and his organisation fantastic - five stars!
