    We had an amazing safari in Willpattu National Park.

    We booked quite last minute and yet had prompt and excellent communication with Wondrous Tours.

    Everything was arranged for us including a friendly and punctual driver, Kannadasan, from our accommodation in Anuradhapura and a delicious lunch cooked by the wife of our guide, Abbey.

    Abbey is truly a fantastic guide, he has been working in the park for many years and was constantly doing his best to ensure we had maximum opportunity to see as much as possible.
    He has an excellent eye for spotting even the smallest and well camouflaged of animals as well as being incredibly knowledgeable.
    We were lucky enough to see leopards on 2 different occasions and Abbey also seemed to know some quieter spots where we got to have some incredible bird viewing.
    Thank you so much for all the effort you made for us yesterday, Abbey, we appreciate your skills and good humour and commitment to keeping us safe, well fed and blessed with all the animals we saw!!

    We highly recommend booking Wondrous Tours, it was a smooth process with wonderful results and we appreciate the efforts of everyone involved in our trip to Willpattu National Park.

    This trip was great, communication was excellent, driver and guide arrived on time, pick up from the hotel at 0400 hrs in an air-conditioned people carrier. on entering the vehicle, bottles of water provided.

    Fabulous experience from start to finish, unable to find anything negative about this tour.

    Arriving in Yala, we were offered fresh breakfast prior to being taken on the safari

    Private jeep tour of Yala with an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable about the animals in the park.

    In the morning we were lucky enough to see several leopards, we were informed how lucky we were seeing leopards, apparently, they’re very discreet.

    Lunch, drinks & fresh fruits were provided in a safe place within Yala park.

    The safari driver/guide was really knowledgeable and helped us to see many, animals throughout the day, we witnessed numerous species, elephants, crocodiles, peacocks, deer, and monkeys to name a few.

    This tour is highly recommended

    Wonderful boat trip through some backwaters near Negombo. From the meeting place on the old canal we headed slowly up the canal, stopping frequently to take photos of the varied wildlife. We continued into the lagoon for a shoreline route viewing many types of birds. I am not an experienced birder but our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful explaining the many different species.

    Family of four - husband, wife and two girls (9 and 7 yers)
    We had the most amazing time, with so many good memories. Driver Sam, did a perfect job adapting to our family needs, as one of family members suffers from epilepsy.
    Beside seeing most of the planed things, he was also kind to visit shops on the road, so that we could taste king coconuts, fresh mangos, and the best bananas.
    He made our trip unforgettable🙏
    Only downside was, that our train ride was changed to an earlier train, supposedly due to mist in Ella, which we were told would be worse later. Mist was there anyway, so more than half the ride was with no visibility. Because of time change, we missed tea factory due to lack of time. We were not involved in the decision. This was the only downside of the trip.
    With so many other good memories, we still had a five star experience. Thanks to crew behind and a special thanks to Sam for being a part of our family for the week.

    I cannot express how fantastic this day was. My guide Dylan was absolutely wonderful. From start to finish he was a wonderful companion and very knowledgable guide. I highly recommend this trip to anyone but especially to those who may be travelling alone. As a single woman, I felt fully entertained, educated, safe and had an absolutely brilliant day. I cannot wait to do more tours with Dylan in the future!

    Prepare for an unforgettable journey that will stay with you for years to come! Booking with Amazing Getaways means every detail is handled with care, so you can focus on soaking in the adventure. The owner, Sanchitha, is not only incredibly genuine but also speaks excellent English—complete with a great sense of humor! He goes above and beyond to ensure your trip is nothing short of spectacular.

    We opted for a 4-day tour, which covered the core highlights, but Sanchitha’s flexibility is a game-changer. Whether you want a quick 1-day excursion or an epic 2-week journey, he tailors the experience to suit your schedule. You can suggest your own itinerary, or let him guide you with expertly crafted routes that showcase the best of Sri Lanka. We even added an extra day to visit Yala National Park, where we were thrilled to see leopards and other incredible wildlife.

    From the moment you arrive, Amazing Getaways takes the stress out of travel. They’ll pick you up at the airport and can arrange accommodations—or you can choose your own. Every detail is thoughtfully managed to make your trip seamless and enjoyable.

    This experience is highly recommended—not just for the breathtaking landscapes and rich culture of Sri Lanka, but for the personal touch Sanchitha brings. By the end of our journey, we left with a new friend. He even surprised us with a heartfelt anniversary gift: a personalized photo from our trip. It was a touching gesture that truly reflected his dedication to making our experience special.

    No regrets, only incredible memories! Don’t wait—reach out to Amazing Getaways and discover the magic of Sri Lanka for yourself!

    This being our third trip to Sri Lanka we were hoping to have an experience we hadn’t had before. We used Aashik and Kingfisher to provide a driver and book all of our accommodation for 7 nights.
    From our first contact with Aashik he was more than accommodating, providing multiple options for hotels and if they didn’t suit he found alternatives.
    Anyone who has been to Sri Lanka knows that no trip goes 100% according to plan, but what makes the difference is how your tour operator handles the “speed bumps” which arise, Aashik addressed all of the challenges without fail and made sure we had a wonderful stay. He found us some absolutely stunning hotels in amazing locations.
    He was flexible with the itinerary and was on hand to offer advice when needed which is exactly what you need when you’re traveling with kids.
