About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Koduvayur0 contributionsA must see placeEverything about Nuwaraeliya was nice - cool weather, clean place, lovely, friendly people, and good value for money. Well worth a visit. Water rafting is very professionally done, with adherence to all necessary safety measures. Food was nice all the way through.Written May 14, 2024
- anneanne780 contributionsInside the fort is not interesting and the ticket expensive.Drive or walk around the walls of the fort and this will be enough. Going inside the fort is absolutely uninteresting as almost nothing remains. The place is empty. You can walk on the walls but even the vue is uninteresting. So, save the price of the entrance ticket: 1.500 Rp !!!Written March 14, 2024
- gabrielcF1810LK0 contributionsGreat Safari , loved the experience!Loved the experience! Beautiful place to enjoy nature , to see beautiful landscapes and explore the park in a safari brings all the emotion to the plan. Thanks for the experience here in Sri Lanka! Beautiful place! Lots of wild animals but we were not able to see Leopards, only some of their tracks.Written December 6, 2023
- suesmith1340 contributionsFantastic few days in Porthcawl.Took our granddaughter to Porthcawl for a few days, the weather was on our side thank goodness so we spent time on Coney beach by the fair. Beach was lovely and clean. We ate at the Royal Oak pub fab food, we also ate at The Seagull pub again awesome food very reasonable prices. I have family in Porthcawl so it was lovely catching up. Our holiday apartment was gorgeous and very reasonably priced for high season. All in all it was great.Written September 2, 2023
- Palms19920 contributionsA good trip booked last minute!A good trip. We contacted very last min (on the morning of the trip) to arrange this. Our driver picked us up and drove safely with a food stop to Udawalawe. We had a good evening safari, lots of elephants and other animals, despite the weather and time of day not being ideal (morning is better and it was raining). We ended up arriving in Ella at around 7:30. We would recommend!Written April 9, 2023
- farzanan20180 contributionsGreat safari !Very well organised from beginning to end. The guides were great at pointing out the different animals and taking us to all the right spots. We were very lucky to see elephants and a leopard.Written February 27, 2023

- hokaitat0 contributionsBest tour guide in our Sri Lanka itineraryOn 14 February 2023, the tour guide / driver picked us up in the hotel early at 7 am and the trip lasted for 12 hours. This gives us much enough time to take photos and sightseeing. He is very helpful and additional service to offer early morning transfer from hotel to train station on the next day although not much money to be paid because of short distance. He also helped us buy train tickets and get on the train.Written February 18, 2023
- Aish142910 contributionsExcellentWe had one of the most memorable times in Srilanka. The warmth of its people is heart touching. Thilina only validated that. His calm demeanor and smiling face was a treat through our journey. He made sure our trip went smoothly and gave us memories for a lifetime A big shoutout to Thilina again 🙏🏼Written January 1, 2023

- Andrewrohi0 contributionsHighly recommendedHighly recommended. On of the best tour guide in Kandy. They provide free lunch for us. And free guide in sigiriya. On time and good cars they have. Thank youWritten October 9, 2022
- Holger J0 contributionsVery goodWho would have guessed but It actually worked out pretty smoothly. Since it is Sri Lanka in 2022 we were lucky there was an open gas station which had gas for us at 5am, but otherwise it was all pretty well planned and carried out. We started at 4 am, entered the safari at 6ish, finnished at 9am and got to Ella at 11:30. Our driver was a nice guy, didn‘t speak english but for a couple of words and was talking on his phone during most of the trip. But he drove safely (if you can say something like that about a sri lankan driver) He bought us some fruit and something to drink while waiting for us to finish the safari. A really nice guy. And well, 80$ are a lot of money, but you get a taxi halfway across Sri Lanka, so, yeah. Better than local busses and a lot less stressfull. In Udalawawe we had to pay 11.000 Rupies for the jeep, 12.500 as entrance fee (2 persons), 5000 for our guide (that was a tip, since they don‘t get paid and totally depend on tips) and another 1000 tip for your driver if you are nice. If you have never been on a safari it was definetly worth it. We saw some elephants up close, monkeys, peacocks and other birds, even some leopard tracks in the dirt. I would do this trip again and would recommend it to anyone who wants to save some time and stress on their trip. thank youWritten April 4, 2022
- laran12970 contributionsGreat uncomplicated experienceFor us it was a great experience because everything worked out very uncomplicated. You have contact via WhatsApp in advance with the provider and can arrange the pick up. For us it went off in Mirissa at 4am, so we were in time for the park opening. The driver was nice, drove safely and the car was a modern hybrid model. Arrived at the park, he then directly arranges a jeep driver. We found this super uncomplicated, but others may prefer to find someone themselves and then negotiate the price. The safari itself was a great experience and we would do it again anytime. After the park visit it was about 2 hours further to Ella, where we arrived shortly after 11am.Written March 24, 2022
- Barry D0 contributionsThe wilderness at it's bestWe were picked up from our hotel approximately 4 30 am,then taken to yala for our safari. There we met up with our designated driver,who drove us to the entrance of the park,to begin our tour.we then sat with our guide for the day on a vehicle akin to what they used filming jurassic park!we then encountered numerous animals and birds along the way,from crocodiles and monitor lizards, to jackals ,deer and wild boar.we had resigned ourselves to not seeing an elephant, then lo and behold,a large male appeared between the foliage at the side of the road, and put the finishing touch to a fabulous day..many thanks to our eagle-eyed guide,who's spotting capabilities were second to none, our driver who had to negotiate some really difficult terrain, and our driver who took us back to hikkaduwa through some quite atrocious weather conditions.Written February 25, 2022

Holiday Walkers Sri Lanka took care of the train tickets. They picked us up at our hotel and dropped us at the correct track. Train ride was just magnificent! In Nuwara eliya, Sanjaya from Holiday Walkers Sri Lanka greeted us and guided us around Nuwara eliya, he showed us the post office and other sites and then took us to the beautiful Nine Arche Bridge which isn‘t that easy to find. Sanjaya even helped us in bargaining for the price of tuk tuk for the nine arch bridge. All around very friendly, forthcoming and well organised. Great day and highly recommended!

The trip was very well arranged, we were promptly picked up from our AirBnB in Kandy and driven to Nuwara Eliya. The train ride from Nanu Oya to Ella was fantastic. Very kind and overall a fantastic experience. Would recommend anyone to do this

It was really good trip. The guide (Sanjay) made me feel safe and comfortable the whole time. I appreciate how the organizer went the extra mile to get me the train ticket as they were sold out. It is a "must do" trip.

we made this outing really a beautiful day for us the driver came to pick us up at the hotel in kandy he took us to see one of the largest and oldest tea factories with a guided tour taking the paths different points of views, the tea fields which cover the mountain, we passed by Lake St George. The driver dropped us off at the station to take the train, making sure everything was in order for our train journey, then accompanied us to the platform and finally picked us up at Ella station for transfer to our hotel in Ella. thanks again to our driver the only downside is the tripadvisor description it's not clearly to my taste well explained that only one ticket is included but you have to pay in addition for the other 2 when there are 3 of you. fortunately there The agency that manages it in the country is patient and very professional so we kept our reservation and we have no regrets. the price is fair, the total corresponds to the same service on competing sites. valerie

Hello, I am interested in this tour and am wondering if it is flexible? We plan on doing a sunrise hike of Little Adam's Peak on another day and would like to know if we can swap that part of the itinerary for Ravana Falls and Ravana Cave instead? Also, what time is pick up and drop off?
