About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- vysdaku0 contributionsYala National Park VisitHad a good visit to Yala National Park. Got picked up promptly at 3 30 am as we opted for a morning game drive. Entered that park at 6 and spent 4 hours. Saw the wildlife in the park, missed the leopard sighting, am sure that’s a luck of the draw !!!Written 25 March 2025
- vysdaku0 contributionsSouthern Coast TourWas a fantastic day tour covering a tea plantation, turtle care place, stilt fishing and Galle. The tea plantation was a great experience and worth the trip. Also the Galle fort area is not to missWritten 25 March 2025
- Sdblue0 contributionsEasy as pieEasy booking, I was provided a copy of the sign, the driver was waiting and no issues on a long ride after a long travel day. Driver was courtesy and quiet. The set up was easy and the Hansika was easy to communicate with. Bonus was that it was so easy I ended up booking many other rides and tours with them.Written 23 March 2025
- Shakira P0 contributionsThis was a fun cooking class and the food was really good!First time trying Sri Lankan food… it was fun to learn more about the traditional meals and how they are prepared. I had a favourite ingredient I never would’ve thought I’ll likeWritten 22 March 2025

- larinag20220 contributionsGreat tour!Really good tour. The guide/driver was really nice and experienced. We saw pretty much every animal you can see there (exept leopards, they are hard to spot) Thank you!Written 13 March 2025
- Kevin R0 contributionsGreat car transfer between Kandy and Anuradhapura.I have mostly used the train traveling around Sri Lanka but the trip between Kandy and Anuradhapura (with connection) would have used up a valuable day. Lakpura arranged a driver who made the trip in 3 hrs (very safe driving) with hotel to hotel pick up and drop off. Cost-efficient and professional. Lakpura provides the driver ID so you know you’re getting in the right car. I highly recommend Lakpura for your Sri Lanka travel needs.Written 13 March 2025
- Yvonne R0 contributionsA wonderful afternoonWe had a wonderful safari seeing many many beautiful birds as well as elephants, crocodiles, water buffalo, deer and wild pigs. Our driver Darmasiri was very friendly and knowledgeable and did a great job to make sure our trip was great. He arrived on time and ensured we saw the sunset over the lake too. One of our best times in Sri LankaWritten 12 March 2025
