We recently had the most incredible two-day tour experience and I cannot recommend it enough!
Day 1: Private River Safari
We started with a serene 2-hour private River Safari that exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere was calming and the scenery—just stunning. Our English-speaking guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. He generously offered us king coconut, beautifully presented with a flower garnish—such a lovely touch! We spotted crocodiles, monkeys, a variety of birds, and an amazing diversity of plants and trees. The whole experience was peaceful and informative. Definitely a 5/5!
Day 2: Guided Tuk Tuk Village Safari & Turtle Center Visit
The next day, we went on a 2.5-hour guided tuk tuk village safari, and it was absolutely breathtaking. We explored the local flora and fauna, witnessed the rubber extraction process from rubber trees, and learned about cinnamon harvesting. We even got to taste fresh cinnamon and take some home!
Our guide, Shiran, was fantastic—fluent in English, deeply knowledgeable, and very kind. He ensured we had an immersive and authentic experience.
We ended the day at the Induruwa Sea Turtle Conservation Center, where we learned about different turtle species and had the heartwarming opportunity to release baby turtles into the ocean. The guide there, Chigjra, was also friendly and informative.
One of the highlights of this tour was the transparency—Shiran covered all expenses with no hidden fees. We paid exactly what was agreed upon at booking.
If you're a nature lover or want a glimpse into village life, this tour is an absolute must. It’s worth every penny, and I highly recommend this tour company and their incredible guides!
