The hike to Knuckles Mountain range was well organised by Mahaweli Tours. We were provided with a good guide who knew his way about well and we felt safe throughout the trek. We were also looked after well and enjoyed the experience. There was fun and entertainment and chatter to keep us motivated to go up the mountains and we got to experience a nice cold waterfall bath too! 5 stars to both Prasad and Ajith for providing us with this experience.

Our tour started with the pick up from our hotel at Galle fort. Roshan was so friendly and extremely informative. Had a wonderful day with new friends, enjoying the scenery and hiking the Rainforest. This should be in everyone's list when visiting Sri Lanka. Loved the added bonus of Tea factory visit. Guide Wigitha made the day amazing. Although no rain in the rainforest ,this day made the hike a bit less slippery, the flora, fauna and the waterfall -- all made a lovely day. One of our Dreams was to swim under the waterfall, and we got a chance to do it here. Transportation was comfortable and efficient, and the lunch was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour and also this tour company.

Sajith has been an excellent driver and guide during our 6 days trip to Sri Lanka. He is reliable and professional. During long drives he is a delight to have conversations with. He has good knowledge of local areas and can provide helpful suggestions for restaurants and activities to suit your needs. He helped us arrange a safari tour of the Yala national park as well as a visit to a turtle conservatory. Catching glims of leopards, bears and elephants had been the highlight of the safari. I'll highly recommend contacting Sajith to anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka :).

We had such an exciting day. Picked up early by our driver and driven to the park in a jeep. We saw so many animals up close but seeing the leopard was an amazing experience as it walked right in front of our jeep!! Our driver collected a lovely Sri Lankan picnic for lunch which we ate beside a fabulous beach before heading black out on safari. Very well organised trip.
