Good experience!

NickandSue_K, Oct 2024
Boat tour guide and driver very helpful and informative. Guide in particular was very knowledgeable. Tuk Tuk driver just ok.

Great experience

Lauri_S, Aug 2024
Excellent tour. Friendly staff and the guide was very knowledgeable about history of the area, the wildlife and the fauna and taught us a lot. The pick-up and drop-off from our hotel in Negombo was smooth. The driver bought us refeshments when headed to the tour and on the way back took us to stops such as a coffee shop. We went in the morning after a very rainy day and because of this we saw dozens of water monitor lizards and various birds. Highly recommended.

Best trip

Vidu was my driver and he was great, he went above and beyond and was really patient and friendly. The trip was great especially the beach which we had to go through the forest.

Amazing bird watching tour

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about birds and the environment. He showed us many different types of birds, very friendly and approachable, he even brought fresh fruit for a snack. It was an amazing experience.
