Water World Lanka

Reviewed By ChuckOfAllTrades - Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

I've been to several Aquariums and this is one of the best! LOTS of varieties of fish - perhaps a hundred - and lots of care to explain each of them. The experience is great - tunnels, good railings and lighting.
The underwater tunnel is a lovely - if short - attraction. The entry fee is close to nothing. So while it's a bit of a bother getting all the way here, it's certainly worth it.
Highly recommended.

Sri Lanka Tour Driver

Reviewed By Rotti66

I chose this tour guide, thank to a friend reco, and I was 100per cent satisfied. Buddy, our driver, drive our comfortable mini van very safely, despite tragic is crazy in Sri Lanka. He follows the program but he gives us a lot of useful suggestions how to avoid the crowed in the most popular sites (like in Sigirya) so the end result is a great tour of this beautiful country. I do really recommend this tour guide.
