- uglykoala0 contributionsGreat South Coast OptionWe had an amazing time on this trip and I'm so pleased we selected this option. Mewan was very helpful in seeing up the itinerary before the day and confirming everything with me. The guide on the day arrived promptly and drive safely. He was helpful and pointed us in the right direction if we wanted more information. Out of all the activities I enjoyed the tea plantation the most. If was fascinating learning about the different types of tea, and the shop at the end was also great to visit. My husband enjoyed the turtle sanctuary the most. He liked learning the turtle facts and was enchanted when he was allowed to hold a turtle.Written 1 February 2025

- Janflute0 contributionsEnjoyable experienceWe really enjoyed our safari. Our driver and guide were skilled in spotting and we saw many birds and creatures, including two enormous crocodiles. The elephants didn’t put in a showing, due to the slight rain we were told, but we were lucky enough to see one by the road on the drive back from the park. We had a longer safari than we anticipated and the start time was changed to 2pm. We arrived back at the western park entrance at about 7pm. Our first hour in the park was very quiet and rewarding and we felt like we were the only visitors in the reserve. We were very glad that we had taken our own binoculars to use as this meant that we could see the animals and birds much better than with the naked eye. Our guide spoke little English so we weren’t able to find out much about what we were seeing and the various habitats unfortunately but a quick look at the information board before setting off did help. There was an element of ‘off road’ experience towards the end of our time in the park, which was fun but further animal spotting would have been preferable. Other safari jeeps were also doing this so I guess it’s part of the experience. Communication was good and the driver and guide were there to meet us on our arrival although we felt that a warmer introduction would have been nice.Written 29 January 2025
- GabeK19850 contributionsThe Only Way To See Colombo!An amazing experience with an amazing guide Nishantha. Saw the tour originally through Instagram & loved the novelty of it. Driving around Colombo in the old Jeep was an experience I’ll never forget. In the open air it felt like we were right amongst all the action & hustle & bustle of the city. Our guide was very knowledgeable & made the tour! He looked after us so well. They are not lying about the free flow drinks either! A well stocked esky was onboard with so many options! A highlight was stopping & having a fresh coconut & enjoying that as we drove along. I can’t imagine seeing Colombo any other way! Highly recommend the tour!Written 28 January 2025
- la2750 contributionsColombo airport pickupEveryone was great from booking the pickup to Kani who picked us up. Kani was friendly and helpful. He got us to the hotel safely and made sure we could eat since we arrived late. Definitely would recommend using their service and we will be using them again.Written 25 January 2025

Cannot recommend our driver enough, he took great care in ensuring we had a memorable and amazing experience, thank you! :)Written 19 January 2025
- WimborneAnnette0 contributionsExcellent experience with Crocodile Safari TourBooked with crocodile safari tours and had a great time! Our jeep driver was excellent and really had ‘eagle eyes’ when it came to spotting things we would never have noticed. We saw many elephants and also various species of birds and a couple of iguanas. We also had the best view of the crocodiles as the driver had binoculars to let us use. Many other people we saw did not and they missed out! Suggest either take your own or ask if your driver has some. Personally I think all the tours should offer them!Written 19 January 2025
- SusanG2010 contributionsWonderful birding safari in Bundala, organized by LakpuraWe had a great birding safari in Bundala, organized by Lakpura. I had initially booked with TripAdvisor, then canceled because I was concerned about getting back to my cruise ship on time. A Lakpura representative reached out to me to see if there was a problem they could help with. Indeed, they were able to offer a trip at a time that worked great for our cruise arrival and departure. We had a comfortable air-conditioned car and careful driver from the cruise terminal to the park, where we transferred to our safari vehicle and park guide. The trip in the park was fantastic. In addition to fabulous birds, we saw an elephant quietly grazing, so close that my video recorded his munching sounds. We also saw two kinds of monkeys, land monitors, and crocodiles. Our guide, Lena, was very good at spotting, and was able to identify all of the birds and other animals. He had a bird book and showed us the entries for many species as we stopped to view. He was also an excellent driver on the rutted park roads. I highly recommend working with Lakpura to book a Bundala tour. From their website you can contact them, and link up in WhatsApp to converse easily.Written 14 January 2025
