      great turtles experience
      All was great, only i wish they would take pictures of us, with turtles. But the point is you do see turtles and you feed them its a whole experience. I recommended to anyone

      Turtles!!!
      This was an incredible experience, our guides were informative and friendly. This was both of our first time snorkelling and the guides talked us through it amazingly. We saw so many turtles up close.

      A faboulous diving experience
      A wonderful experience! First I dive with a lot of coloured fishes, than I saw a Napoleon fishes, a beautiful coloured moray eel. I dive with an expert instructor, I always feel safe underwather with him. After I feed the tourtels… unforgettable experience. I was in Colombo so to reach Marissa I needed a driver. The agency provide me an expert and polite driver. The experience was very good in all the aspects

      We took the Paramotoring excursion in August 2024. The flight was postponed due to weather to the next day. The staff are responsible and qualified. We enjoyed the flight!

      We went scuba diving and had the chance to see and feed the sea turtles! We went in august so the sea was very rough and we had visibility till 1.5-2 meters. However, we had an good experience and felt very safe with de guides!

      Nice experience even on an off season
      Even though it was off season, the organiser Chaminda made an effort to get us to see the turtles. The visibility was not great but we were advised earlier but we went ahead as we had only a day in Mirissa. The guides made sure they took us safely to the turtle, we fed and touched it ! We were very satisfied even though it was low visibility and moderate waves.

      Thumbs down
      This was a really poor experience. Firstly, it was not a 'half-day' trip or even four hours. It lasted just over 90 minutes. There was no food, as promised. There was no commentary or information provided, as promised. While the company are ultimately not responsible for the wildlife we will see on the day, it was made clear to us that we would only be seeing dolphins, despite the trip being billed as a 'whale watching' experience and having a picture of a whale on the website. The whole thing was a let down. I would like a full refund.

      PADI Scuba Diving (and Snorkelling) = perfection
      When I say this is definitely worth your money and time! Sanity and his team were absolutely amazing the whole way through. Were given all the equipment and were even given fish buns and Ceylon tea! Tailored their teaching to our level (absolute beginners). Our guide checked constantly to make sure we were following but still gave us the freedom to check out areas and do our own thing (even showed us cool underwater tricks!) Could not rave about this more it was perfect start to finish! Do make sure you confirm the meet up point if you have booked via GetYourGuide (the app has it wrong but the team cleared this up with very efficient communication). Don’t worry about pictures as the team make sure to film and give you plenty of photo opportunities which was the cherry on the cake!

      Looking forward try it again !
      I had an amazing first experience paddleboarding for an hour in the sea! The instructor was very friendly and provided clear guidance, which helped me feel comfortable on the board. I can't wait to do it again! Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to try paddleboarding!

      Perfect day on the water
      I recently went on kayaking that exceeded all my expectations. The location was great, with clear waters and beautiful scenery of colombo all around. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the trip both safe and fun. We navigated through gentle rapids and enjoyed peaceful moments on the calm stretches. I highly recommend this kayaking trip for anyone looking to enjoy the best views and have a great time on the water

      Rafting and waterfall rappelling Kitulgula
      This was a really fun experience. First we went and rappelled down the waterfall. Then we went on a side trek to a cave we saw. And finally we went whitewater rafting. The guys stopped on the road and picked fresh fruit for me throughout the trip. I highly recommend!

      Great day out
      This company was great, we were met at the pickup point and after a little confusion we were sent down to canyoning where we were met with a guide. The canyoning was amazing and was our favourite part. It felt relaxed and not rushed, we had plenty of time to just swim or chill out in the natural pools of water. The white water rafting was good and the surroundings were beautiful, make sure to put suncream in your guide’s wet bag as we didn’t and are now sunburnt. We were a little sceptical at first but the zip line was very fun. Would highly recommend this activity.

      Amazing Experience!
      We saw so many turtles so close up! We even got to feed them! It was incredible to be so close to these beautiful creatures. It was delayed by 4 hours but I was told about this in advance so it was okay.

    Very helpful and patient staff with quick response to any thing you want to ask.

    Mangrove adventure is exciting and worth to try.

    The boat’s driver was so kind and expert person.

    We saw big lizard ( water monitor) and alot of birds and also there were alot of bats.

    You can do fish massage also ( 500 rupees per person) and also you can hold a baby crocodile to take a picture with it for a few tips.

    Also you can visit a spice garden.

    In general its highly recommended.

    We saw crocodiles in during the trip as well as a Goanna. The tour guide could have been more informative.

    June 2019 me and my friends visited Sri Lanka. It is a beautiful island. The most beautiful places in Sri Lanka are Nuwara Eliya, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Ella. Also we visited alot of beaches and my favorite beach is Unawatuna. We did Mangrove Adventure through ZRI Adventures in Bentota.

    The mangrove forests in Bentota are home to an incredible variety of wildlife. With this tour, explore the flooded forests and learn about the biodiversity. Along the way look out for baby crocodiles. If you’re luck, you will be able to hold one of them.

    This is a highly recommended mangrove boat tour. We also visited the fish farm and the crocodile farm. This was a fabulous trip to relax on a speed boat- A great day out.
