This was a great experience, well organised and we had a truly great day. Seeing the wild life up close in their natural environment was amazing. Viator and HTM were very good from the initial booking right through to returning us to the ship.

This was a great experience, well organised and we had a truly great day. Seeing the wild life up close in their natural environment was amazing. Viator and HTM were very good from the initial booking right through to returning us to the ship.
Prompt port pick up and drive to the national park with a nice lunch stop at Niwahana before the 4 hour jeep safari ride in the national park. Van driver made a few stops to point out interesting sites along the way.
We had an excellent tour guide, saw many many animals, especially elephants, peacocks, monkeys, crocodile, various lizards, and birds, and I’m sure there’s more oh yes, and mongoose. Lunch was great.
We did our day trip in December 2023.
We were cruising at that time and were picked up from the port. Everything was organized very well. The cars were waiting for us in the designated area and were easy to find. The car was clean, the driver was very polite, Delicious lunch was provided as well as bottled water.
We saw a lot of elephants and many different birds.
This tour is highly recommended.
Easy pick up from right outside the cruise ship then smooth transfer onto the jeeps. Great lunch afterwards then onto the elephant orphanage… all smooth and very professional
Our driver was waiting for us with a sign upon arrival. We were driven to the park. Once at the park, we met our safari driver and guide. We saw lots of elephants. We also saw 2 types of monkeys, mongoose, land monitor, deer, peacocks, and more. Highly recommend!
