The real Bentota

Emma_S, Jan 2025
Shiran our guide was simply the best he took us on a 3 hour tour of Bentota and we saw life as it really is. We saw rope made from the coconut shells, the rubber tree cut for the milk, cinnamon being stripped for drying,,so many different fruits growing - bananas mango papaya jack fruit star fruit pineapples and tasted peppercorn straight from the tree. We saw the tea plantation and the rice fields. Shiran took us to a really old temple and it really was beautiful, better than others we visited. The whole tour taught us so much, no factories or shops just real life living which was exactly what we wanted to see.

Absolutley brilliant!

Guide was brilliant, arrived on time, full of local knowledge and happy to share this information, timed it perfectly for the turtle sanctuary as we actually got to release some babies turtles into the sea. Couldn't have wished for a better experience!

Een echte aanrader

Wat een fantastische excursie was dit! We kregen uitleg hoe ze van kokosnootvezels touw maken, hoe rubber wordt getapt en hoe kaneelstaafjes worden gemaakt en bezochten een mooie tempel. Vervolgens zijn we naar de schildpadbroederij gegaan. Na een rondleiding mochten we babyschildpadjes vrij laten in de zee.
