    Tour provider did not provide what we purchased

    Melissa_N, Dec 2025
    We purchased this package which was to include a 3-hour safari and a visit to the Elephant Transit Home, breakfast, water, park entrance fees and RT transportation from Galle for 190 USD per person. We received a 2 hour safari, no visit to the Elephant Transit Home, a 4.25 hour ride to the park starting at 4 am with no bathroom break, (sat in vehicle for 45 minutes waiting for participants to arrive so we were late getting to park), and it was almost 7 hours into the experience before we were offered water. After reaching out to the tour provider as we were driven back 3 hours to our hotel we were offered USD 6 refund to compensate for not visiting the ETH. I had to politely refuse to get out of the vehicle when returned to my hotel to force the tour provider to refund 40% of the fee back to me. I did receive the refund, and everyone messes up sometimes, but when you do mess up you immediately apologize and offer to make it right. The tour company made me work to get a refund.
