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.

This is more of a response to the Covid-19 event and the lack of being able to contact this company and to receive a refund for a prepaid custom tour. We booked and paid for our tour in February 2020. When our cruise was cancelled because of Covid-19 we requested a refund in May 2020. We received no response to this request. The next time we received an email from them was to rate the tour that we would have taken in October 2020. In trying to contact them now we receive a bounce back to the emails that we send them. Covid-19 did not shut down the internet so contact should have been made to let us know the situation of their business.

This was an absolutely exciting excursion we tried in Dambulla in 2017. We were safely taken care of until we landed and were treated with a lovely round of champagne. The ride was totally fun, you could get a really spectacular view of the area to a very large extent. It was really fun to move through the mist and wind. The safety measure were high and the team was well experienced. A team would follow the balloon throughout on a jeep and arrive at the destination to help with the landing.
