We are on holidays in Avani Bentota and met Shiran on exit to ocean. Friendly man which knows a lot about Sri Lanka. We had interest in ocean's tours and he suggested us to visit whales tour. At 4am friendly driver picked up us from reception and delivered to Mirissa's harbor (he made the ride well, interesting told about a place where we go). Within 6 hrs trip on boat (good boat and staff) we wasn't able to see whales (didn't find them) and get back to the harbor. Just one negative moment: Boat provider refund a half of tickets price, because we didn't find whales (their terms and conditions) and driver got these moneys and told to speak with Shiran. "Friendly Shiran" said "it's a business" and paid back only 1/3 of refund. ????‍♂️

Ashiq Aswar is a superb tour guide! Him and Rizni took my family around on a tour of Colombo that included shopping and then a tour of the outskirts of a bee farm, spice gardens a private tour visiting and riding elephants. We had a great lunch in a clean and air-conditioned restaurant. The van was clean and comfortable. They picked us up and dropped us back. This trip was actually in the early part of last year in spring, but the calendar on Trip Advisor only goes back to summer of last year. They were very attentive, very caring and personable. I would highly recommend Ashiq and Kingfisher tours to anyone visiting Colombo, Sri Lanka ????????

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.

Galle, 119km from Colombo, is a major city situated at the tip of the South Western coast of Sri Lanka. Being a coastal area, it is quite hot and humid but has an abundance of beautiful beaches in every town that you pass while travelling from Colombo to Galle. The Galle Fort was built by the Portuguese, fortified later by the Dutch and is well preserved till today. In addition to the Portuguese and Dutch remains, you will also find many British mansions left behind. As for beaches, the Unawatuna Bay probably tops it all and is safe for snorkelling and swimming because a reef protects it. There you have it, a day tour of the city of Galle in a nutshell.

Inclusions: Air Conditioned Private Vehicle, English Speaking Chauffeur, All Costs related to Vehicle, Boat and Chauffeur, Entrance Tickets for All mentioned Excursions, Bottled Drinking Water, All Government Taxes | No Hidden Cost

Unfortunately my holiday to Sri Lanka was cancelled due to COVID-19, but I had booked two trips. I emailed Prasad to explain the situation and then refunded money was in my account within the hour. I was extremely impressed and grateful and will definitely use this company when I do finally get to visit Sri Lanka in the future
