Had an amazing day exploring Ella! Our guide Dinuka was super attentive and really knew their stuff. Hiking up Ella Rock was a breeze with them leading the way, and we timed the Nine Arch Bridge perfectly to see the train. Highly recommend if you want a stress-free day

Sanju picked us up on time and from the start we were ready for a good day despite the weather. Our first experience was the hike up Ella’s Rock. Sanju outlined what to expect and pointed out lots of information about our surroundings. He was a patient guide and adopted the pace of the hike to suit our abilities. He also took care of my feet when a couple of leeches chose me as a snack. He didn’t hesitate to act quickly to sort the situation. We visited viewpoints and Sanju took photos and showed us the best locations. Lunch was an excellent break in the day and a good choice to sustain us for Adam’s Peak. Following that we visited the Nine Arches and more informative chat.
An excellent experience thanks to Sanju’s guide skills. Highly recommended 👍

This tour with Dinu (guide) and Pollie (driver - not sure of the spelling) was a blast! Dinu was a fantastic host, full of jokes, and was so much fun to spend the day with. He pointed out animals and lizards along the way that I never would have noticed if hiking on my own, guided me to great places for pictures, and was so patient with my speed of hiking, encouraging me to take breaks when needed. As someone who is a slow hiker, and sometimes needs encouragement, it was so appreciated! Thanks for a wonderful time.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a fun and comfortable day with Dinu and Boney. Dinu loves sharing his knowledge, spotting wildlife, and making every guest feel supported, so your kind words mean a lot. We’re glad the pace, photos, and overall experience were just right for you.
Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again for more Ella adventures!

It was sooooo good. Sanju was lovely, kind and so knowledgeable of all places, plants, trees and animals… It felt like going out for the day with a friend. The Ella Rock hike was a bit demanding but really worth the effort. The views, despite the thick fog, were amazing. Specially seeing and eagle circle over our heads. We then walked back across fields and tea trees, to the top of a cascade, before making our way to Little Adam’s Peak. Afterwards, we headed to the Nine Arches Bridge and ended the activity with a nice (and very well deserved) lunch in Ella town centre. I don’t have enough words to explain how easy and effortless Sanju made it look and how much we learnt from him about the local ways of living.

It’s great to know that, even with the fog, you were able to enjoy those magical views and moments along the way. We hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable experience in Ella!

We had a great day doing this tour, although it was tiring! Sanju was brilliant and made the climb of Ella Rock look easy. He knew all the best spots and was happy to take pictures (even taking some candid ones for us without us even needing to ask). Definitely worth booking, especially if limited on time in Ella.
Response from Host, Sep 2025

Starting from the company, the communication was very professional and they kept me updated on anything i needed to know leading up to the day and made sure that i was picked up and dropped off. The guide Sanju did a awesome job with guiding me around Ella and if you’re looking for those shots for the gram, Sanju is your man haha. The views from the top of Ella Rock and Little Adams Peak were well worth the hike up. Highly recommend this company and thanks once again Sanju, you’re a legend :).

We had a fantastic guided tour around Ella with our guide Dinu! We visited Nine Arches Bridge, Ella Rock and Little Adam’s Peak – it was a great experience from start to finish.
Dinu was very attentive throughout the tour and always had our safety and well-being in mind. He knows the area really well and has explained many interesting things along the way. He is also an incredibly nice and funny guide, which made the tour even more enjoyable.
Especially nice were the little surprises he had for us – a thousand thanks for that! And a big extra: He takes suuuuper photos. Thanks to him, we now have beautiful souvenir pictures of this great day.
Thank you, Dinu, for this great experience – we can absolutely recommend the tour! 🌿📸
