- Jayceebee310 contributionsExcellent tour operator, specialising in Sri Lankan and Maldives tours, for individuals, couples, families and groups .Wow-what a buzz.The most competent tour operator I have ever found and we have captured over 30 countries previously.Best was the excellent tour guide / driver combination taking us to Negombo, Dambulla, the Lions Rock, Kandy, Ella, Galle, back to Colombo. All aspects of an extremely clean and beautiful country was found highlighting people’s beautiful smile showing their culture in true spirits.Apple’s principle oversees all, guaranteeing safety and total enjoyment For all and sundry.The greatest trip of all after resting in the Maldives in a sensational setting organised by Deva and his crew ( Apple family.). Just do this trip….greatest event ever especially for value for money.Whilst Apple expires to being the world’s best in communication, Apple Vacations strive to be totally the best in personal service in tour operations.Totally recommend themWritten 5 March 2025
- M4766YHkevinr0 contributionsFantastic Tour of Negombo LagoonExcellent tour of Negombo Lagoon. Abundant wildlife viewing, including numerous birds, monkeys, and a giant monitor lizard in the mangroves. The guide was quite knowledgeable about the lagoon, very friendly, and extremely accommodating any time you wanted to take a picture. An amazing fresh fruit buffet and coconut drink were provided. I highly recommend this tour!Written 2 March 2025

- Roving216459668530 contributionsGo with Nishan absolutely fantastic guide and tourAfter fantastic Negombo city tour yesterday we decided to do the Lagoon tour with Nishan from Helituktuktours. He was again brilliant. The tour started being picked up from our hotel and taken to the boat where we toured out with commentary all the way along with laughs. We were treated to fruit whilst sitting on chairs in the lake, just perfect. To then seeing monkeys and water dragon with multiple bird life . Definitely worth doing especially with Nishan. Thank youWritten 9 February 2025

- A7235PGmarkh0 contributionsExcellent trip from ColomboThis is an excellent trip if you are based in Colombo and aren’t planning to stay in Kandy. This was exactly what I was looking for as a quick introduction to the culture triangle with my limited time. It is a long day but you see a lot. The guide and drive were excellent not only in knowledge, and making sure we had everything we needed. But also driving respectful and safely. It was a busy day at the Cave temple, Sigiriya and the additional safari due to it being a national holiday. So check that and I would recommend any other day. If it wasn’t for our tour guide setting us up with a local Sigiriya guide at the site. I think I would still be in line trying to climb, due to the amount of people. I highly recommend this tourWritten 4 February 2025
- ninadP2954NA0 contributionsLong day but oh so worth it!I had the best experience on this day trip. Rajid and Bala were an amazing team. Rajid gave a lot of history and insights to the places we visited. Bala is an excellent driver and I felt very safe with him. As a solo traveler, I can wholeheartedly recommend this trip.Written 2 February 2025
- michellellim0 contributionsExcellent Tour and very responsive teamI was recommended Apple vacations by my Sri Lankan friend. It did not disappoint. This was my second time visiting Sri Lanka and they able to customise the tour to my preferences, and this return trip was even more outstanding than my first visit. Apple vacations recommended new activities for me to do since it was my second visit, and responded very quickly to my queries and requests. When I encountered minor issues during the trip, and raised this to the company, they were addressed quickly and effectively. Our guide/driver Krish was very helpful throughout the trip and we managed to buy all the souvenirs we wanted to get. He also found out that I enjoyed massages and would make it a point to stop by a massage place, and even wait for us to complete the massage before returning to the hotel. He also recommended us which food stalls to go to, and they were excellent choices. The food was clean and neither of us came down with any stomach ailments. He is very experienced - and gave some good advise to us during the tour - ie when we were walking down to the 9 arches bridge, he suggested we take a Tuktuk as the path was narrow and steep. The tour package was thoughtfully planned, and they worked around our very odd flight times - which was a touch down at 12 midnight and a departure at about 1am. We particularly enjoyed being able to view the elephants bathing in the river from our hotel, visiting an elephant sanctuary where elephants were humanely treated, the turtle hatchery, and strolling around nurawa eliya and Ella. We had some rainy weather, our guide Krish shuffled our itinerary so that we could maximise our outdoor activities when it was not raining. Since it was a private tour package, we did not have to crowd or squeeze into the boats for the river cruise or safari jeep, and could take things at our own pace and spend it on the activities which we enjoyed. I also enjoyed the fact that quite a few of the activities planned involved the local villagers in the area and thus generating employment for them, whilst encouraging them to keep their traditional customs and practices. The hotels recommended were clean comfortable and luxurious and the half board package made it very convenient for us. Overall would 100% recommend Apple vacations. We both had a great and relaxing holiday and could do this as the logistics of the travel planning was all taken care of by Apple vacations.Written 1 February 2025
- M7805KWvickis0 contributionsA memorable day in Colombo.We had a wonderful day with Naveen and his driver exploring many sites in Colombo. Naveen was very knowledgeable about the different places we visited and welcomed and answered our many questions. We were able to take our time at each site which gave us the opportunity to really appreciate what we were experiencing. Our tour ended with us enjoying a very tasty traditional Sri Lankan lunch. Many thanks to them both for a memorable day. We would highly recommend this tour .Written 30 January 2025
