          Overnight stay and game drive at udawalawe national park
          We are a returning couple to Sri Lanka and decided beforehand that we wanted to visit udawalawe national Park again I wanted to book the tour before leaving the UK, so messaged three different companies for prices and details, day tour sri lanka was by far the quickest to respond and offered the most competitive price for the tour that I wanted I contacted them using WhatsApp and delt with Yasitha, she was very efficient and replied to my messages very promptly The tour I wanted was an overnight stay in Udawalawe. With a visit to the elephant transit home, an afternoon game drive in the park, overnight accommodation with food included, followed by an early morning game drive, return to the hotel for breakfast before returning back to my holiday hotel. My tour included an English speaking driver, with a comfortable air conditioned car, entry fees to the transit home, entry fees to the park, private safari vehicle and very knowledgeable driver, half board accommodation at Walawa reach hotel, which is a small family run business with two bungalows, swimming pool and a main building serving as reception and restaurant, the accommodation was more than adequate for a one night stay and perfectly located for visiting the park. My drivers name was Rohana, he was very helpful and polite and a very able driver When I arrived in Sri Lanka to start my holiday, Yasitha kept in contact through WhatsApp and also phoned me I would highly recommend this company for tours and would not hesitate to use them again

          River Fishing
          Had a fantastic afternoon fishing. We fished in a torrential thunderstorm which was an experience in itself. We both caught and the guides were both really knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended

          A must do when in Bentota!!! You will not regret it.
          Chef Kumudu is a gentle, kind woman who listen carefully to suit your needs. I came with my son who has Down syndrome and he loves cooking. She took us in a private class though she had other group in quee. Chef Kumudu attentively teach him everything from scratch, grating coconut with her special machine and even show him how to eat with hands Sri Lankan ways!!! We really appreciate everything there. The cooking class, the open kitchen by the river(it's like a lagoon), the final results of what we cook together from rice to shrimp curry, vegetable curry, dahl, coconut roti, sambol etc the ambience you name it. One unforgettable experience for us. Thank you thank you!

          River cruise
          Day trip on river at Bentota. We had a lovely 2 hours. We arranged own transport there and had booked tickets on line. Our guide was brilliant. He went above and beyond, ensuring we got our photos and very knowledgeable on the river and its animals.

          Bentota river boat ride
          The only reason a 4 star was given was because after our hotel is listed on the scroll down menu as a pick up location however after booking I was emailed saying that I would have to make my own way there. The tour was great, our guide was very knowledgeable, he spotted and told us lots of information about the wildlife we saw. We saw small crocodiles, water monitors, monkeys, bats and a variety of birds. We did not see any large crocodiles however I think that was because we only wanted to spend 1.5 hours on the river and our guide said they were on the other side but we wanted to leave, regardless we had a lovely time and saw several small crocodiles and held one too. The river is beautiful and the boat ride was so relaxing, I would definitely recommend going.

          Fishing on bentota river
          Great day out on Benton’s river I could not have asked for two better guides, we seen monkeys crocodiles, water lizards, fruit bats, eagles. The guy really knew how to handle the boat to manoeuvre into places and spot wild life that we would not have noticed. We also took in a bit of fishing where we caught travelie, cat fish and a pufferfish all going to make a fantastic trip thanks to the captain and his top class guide

          Excellent cooking experience
          We had a great cooking experience. We cooked a number of dishes, everything was explained slowly and clearly and we were able to be involved in the processes. Most of the spices are grown in their garden which was great too. Once all the food was prepared we sat down and enjoyed our meal in a stunning setting overlooking the lake. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended experience.

          Highly recommended!
          I will start with the beginning, we were accommodated in Negombo (1h45min from Bentota river). The driver was very punctual, very good conditions in the car. The Safari was extremely nice, we saw water monitors, crocodiles, monkeys in the trees along the river, all kind of birds, bats, etc. Very good and well prepared guide (unfortunately, I don't know his name). Then, a short visit to a Buddhist temple and a very, very nice visit to a turtle hatchery.

          8 day tour - Yala Safari - Mirissa Whales - Hikkaduwa Turtles
          Gayan collected us from the airport and drove us to Yala National Park. We did a 1 day safari where we saw many animals including a Leopard and a bear. We will treasure this experience forever. On day 3 he then took us to Mirissa beach where we did a whale watching and had some of the best seafood dinners. Day 5 he drove us to Hikkaduwa where we swam with the turtles and in the evening had the best traditional Sri Lankan curry. Gayan is an amazing guide and speaks perfect English. He arranged everything for us and charged us a very low rate. This is my 3rd time in Sri Lanka and I will definitely be coming back and will only use Gayan. Highly recommend him for any tour you wish to go on.

          Amazing Currys with the lovely Veronica
          Veronica thought us how to cook some amazing basic currys as well as Sambol and some other stuff! Communicating with her went easy and we had fun all the time - especially noticing that the kitchen is tailor-maid for her size.
