Went on a morning safari, and had a great time! It was rumored that a leopard was laying on a rock, but then it dissoparied. The other cars went on to chase it, but our driver stayed put with the rock and closed the engine. 5 min wait, and the leopard claimed up on the rock again - and we were all alone to vitnes the beautiful animal! Saw alot of other animals and the driver choose roads with no/few other cars, so we felt "alone" on the safari journey. Recommanded!

Very nice trip! I am portuguese so it was particularly interesting for me to visit the portuguese (not Dutch!!) fort in Gale - this is the place where our brave sailors arrived in 1502. The guide, Mahesh, is very good, friendly and helpful in any way! I do recommend this day trip.

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.

I took the road less travelled by…and that did make all the difference (with apologies to Frost). Having seen Sigiriya and Pidurangala from their conventional sides, the opportunity to see them from another, and from the water, was too good to miss. The lake waters were receding, and the boatman rowed and poled us through a narrow channel of submerged viperine roots that snarled the poor man’s every effort, but progress we made, slow…and as it should be. For the channel was lined by ancient trees and swamp scrubs that teemed with birds and butterflies and dragonflies of every imaginable hue and colour. Stork-billed Kingfishers, the tiny Common Kingfisher, myriads of water birds, and a majestic White-bellied Sea Eagle all flitted about, with the latter looking disdainfully down at us from its treetop perch. Then, after a while, we broke out into the clear, still waters of the lake that mirrored the towering rocks that still give taste, to the present, of ancient human glory and creative magnificence. Surrounded by tall forest trees whose topmost branches now reflected in the soft light of the evening sun, there was no better place to be at that moment in time, on any place on Earth. It was perfect. Maybe the next time, they will take me on the night of a cloudless full moon…!
