All Colombo Tours & Excursions in 2026

Starting with the pre-communocarion, we so appreciated hearing from the driver beforehand with the arrangements for pick-up. Importantnwhen one arrives in an unfamiliar city. Ricky was pleasant and a good communicator. He knew his history and local knowledge. Thanks for a good day!

It was a wonderful day out, and both our drivers and guides were superb. Very difficult to fault the experience. We didn’t see leopards, but did see Elephants, Eagles, Water Buffalo, Golden Jackal, Crocodile, various Deer, Mongoose, Monitor Lizzards, and a dazzling array of beautiful birds. Highly recommended and lunch was great!

We were taken on the tour by Kaveesha Gimhan and Pasindu. Pasindu was our driver. He drove extremely nicely and safely on this long tour. Kaveesha is a very knowledgeable guide and he explained everything in detail on this trip which took @ 13 hours. They were absolutely punctual and picked us up from our hotel, Taj Samudra Colombo so that we left at 6 am sharp. Lots to see on this tour and thanks to our guide, Kaveesha and our driver, Pasindu, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We would definitely recommend hiring their services.

This turned out, after starting pretty nonchalantly, to be a most amazing and epic journey. The high point was our jeep safari in Hurulu, where we encountered a small elephant herd, with a tusker at very close range. The drive-thru through the thickets was amazingly panoramic, and indeed, most adventurous. Then, we visited Dumballa - the rock-cut cave architecture and the Sigirya Rock Fortress are singular attractions par excellence. Amazing, one-of-a-kind sites to visit.

Perera was fantastic - a wealth of information along with all of the sights to go with it. We came in at 12PM, he picked us up with a sign at arrivals, and took us out on a great adventure. We were back to the airport at 6PM, right on time for our next flight.

The day is really cool, but also really, really long. We started at 545am with a 3 hour drive to the cave temples, which require walking up 249 steps. This isn’t bad, but some of the steps on the way down are just a rocky slope. There is a railing but an older lady in our group did have some difficulty. Then, we went on to climb the mountain. We were told it’s about 1250 steps, but this is inaccurate bc once you get up there you’re climbing up and down other stairs. To do this climb, they transferred us to a different guide who only let us stop twice, long enough to grab a photo of each person at the viewpoint. I am prone to heat exhaustion in humid weather like this and could feel myself starting to get affected so I took it upon myself to go much slower. The lunch afterwards was pretty good. Lastly, there’s the option of doing either a village tour or safari. Most of our group chose the safari. You’re transferred to a jeep and are basically off-roading for over two hours on unpaved dirt roads in a park. It was def cool to see elephants and buffalo, but the constant jolting gave me a headache. You’re able to stand up in the jeep to see through the roof, but they put 3 of us in the back and there wasn’t enough room for 3 ppl to comfortably stand. We arrived home at 10:45 — so an incredibly long day. Props to our main guide for driving. He was knowledgeable about the sights and areas, and also really funny. All in all, I’d recommend the tour but def be prepared.

Fantastic day out! Private transportation arranged on time and no dramas. Got to experience seeing beautiful animals and the lunch we had was my most favourite meal of the holiday...and ive had a lot of nice food! The guys were so good, cant recommend the day enough!

The Colombo tuk-tuk tour was fantastic from start to finish! Riding through the busy streets in a tuk-tuk was such a fun and authentic way to experience the city. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared lots of interesting stories about Colombo’s history, culture, and hidden gems. We visited a great mix of landmarks, local markets, and food spots that I would never have found on my own. Everything was well-organized, safe, and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a unique and memorable way to explore Colombo!
