About
Spend a day discovering Galle Fort and nearby attractions without the inconveniences of trains, buses, or cabs. After morning pickup at select southern towns, travel comfortably by private air-conditioned vehicle, with stop-offs to take in the cobbled streets, ramparts, and lighthouse at Galle Fort, explore fauna and flora in bentota river , world renown Moonstone mine , and places you might not come across alone, like ocean viewpoints, a turtle sanctuary, and a tea plantation. Your driver-guide provides detail and commentary along the way: a bonus absent if exploring independently.

Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- leni9920010 contributionsElephants all overWe did Udawalawe and not Yala, because our host told us, that it is very nice too and not too overcrowded - he was right! We had a great afternoon and saw many animals, especially elephants! It was a great experience!Written 6 August 2024
- domenicf1980 contributionsHighly recommended.!The best day trip you could have in south Sri Lanka .shehan is so smart and friendly guy who knows the area very well.

- U342CUtima0 contributionsGalle and area sightseeing day tripRandee, our guide and driver was knowledgeable about the places we visited, his English was excellent and he was a lovely fella too, would recommend this trip and this guideWritten 31 May 2024
- Roam584349071990 contributionsMust do half day safari from TangalleShehan was a great tour operator. He made things easy in that he organises everything, he was flexible when we kept changing our minds, and he was very knowledgeable on the safari. And we saw soooo many animals on the safari it was amazing and definitely worth it.Written 11 March 2024
- 289angel0 contributionsDont go if you love animals.Shehan is a funny guy with good english skills. But he doesnt Tell you much Informations while the safari. You have to ask everything. The saddest thing is, that they are not respecting the little animals there. For example they push the little ones with the car from the street and scare them, because they just focussed to show us a leopard or elefants. On the other hand , they are driving 4 hours the same roads up and down, which is realy boring. The male elefant is so annoyed there from the jeeps that he attacted them and broke his tusk. They even blocked the way with their jeeps and disturb the elefant family to go their way......Written 6 March 2024

- Jackie66190 contributionsA must do tripWe loved this trip , we saw so much and our guide spoke good English . Think he thought he had two mad English people for the day . Excellent value for moneyWritten 29 January 2024
- Teresa O0 contributionsSkilled, flexible, knowledgable guideI used the services of Shehan C Tours for a one-day tour of attractions around Tangalle. Since it was a very positive experience, I asked to organize a trip from Tangalle to Ella with a safari in Udawalawe National Park on the way. Everything went great. Shehan is a professional guide, has a lot of knowledge and is very attentive to the client and flexible in the organization, and on top of that he is a very nice person. During these two days, I learned a lot about the history of the places visited, local culture and nature. It was two great days, I honestly recommend this guide.Written 5 November 2023
- Joshst090 contributionsFantastic shaw in YalaWe had the best time ever. Shehan and his driver of safari jeep were so good with pointing out the animals and showing us everything. We were the 1st Jeep going into the park and we drove looking for the Leopard pretty much by our selfs. And we were very lucky to see the illusive Leopard four or five times. Always one if the first jeeps where he might appear. Twice a leopard passed our jeep just a meter away. amazing! We also had an Elephant passing the jeep. Except for the bear we saw everything you can in a Safari 👍🏼😊 And shehan is very well connected. Also a plus: food was good and the drive, also it can get bumpy his driver drove very safely and slowly when needed. Thank you so much. Can only recommend doing a safari with Shehan c Tours .Written 24 August 2023
