- Jack D0 contributionsAmazing tour!!We had an amazing time on our tour, Kosala picked us up at 5am from our hotel and was an absolute legend during our journey to the safari and then to our accomodation in Ella. The safari exceeded our expectations, we saw a whole range of animals including elephants, wild boars, monkeys, peacocks and loads more! Would definetly reccomend this tour to everyone.Written 15 March 2025
- Hanna E0 contributionsThe best experience 🫶Had the best day snorkling with turtles! Got picked up by a nice driver at the hotel, and was taken to the Green turtle snorkling center where we met the guide and his lovely wife. Had the best time at the sea, and saw a lot of turtles 😍Written 6 March 2025

- christofk3130 contributionsSuper Safari to YalaWe are very pleased with this Safari.. Professional service and friendly drivers. Unfortunately we didn't see some animals but the nature was wonderfulWritten 2 March 2025
- T5108OInataliaa0 contributionsCool experienceI recommend going to uduwalale safari with this company, the guy who was giving us a trip was very professional and knew were to look for animals. There was a lot of birds, elephants and picocs.Written 20 February 2025
- joshuafD7511YT0 contributionsSuper cool!Totally worth a visit, it was an amazing beach that has a rock reef that has tons of marine life. When we arrived they supplied a camera and snorkelling gear. Our guide was super cool and showed us a bunch of turtles and even showed us how to feed some of them! You can also swim further around the reef and see all of the rest of fish that are hiding bed tween the rocks. Overall I would totally recommend as I didn’t want to get out of the water, but definitely check the weather, wouldn’t want to be caught in a storm.Written 3 February 2025
- freyar9070 contributionsGreat experienceGreat experience eating local food and visiting ancient ruins. We enjoyed the local boat ride and town tour of Sigiriya. Our driver Darshana was fantastic and went out of his way to make our day memorable.Written 29 January 2025
- 353prudencej0 contributionsFabulous safari trip and transfer.Our driver arrived early and was so kind, even taking us to the ATM because we had run out of cash to pay for the hotel. He was a careful driver and looked after us very well. The safari was awesome, we were close up to wild elephants and saw loads of other animals, a mongoose, jackals, crocodiles and loads of beautiful birds.Written 25 January 2025
- L5721ZNpeterw0 contributionsThe best!We had the best day ever with this tour, the operator who helped us book couldn't have been more helpful. Our taxi driver to the safari was excellent, very spacious and cosy. Then our star of the day, our safari driver. Made sure we had the best experience ever, all in half a day. We were so lucky to see what we seen, including leopards, elephants, bears, crocodile and so much more. Forever gratefulWritten 15 January 2025
- robjhyndman0 contributionsGreat experienceGreat tour. Well organised, respectful of turtles, excellent equipment. We saw about 6 or 7 turtles which happily fed on sea grass ignoring us watching on. Highly recommendedWritten 14 January 2025
- whitie670 contributionsPlenty of turtlesPlenty of equipment, friendly staff. Getting to the site was well organised. Location was off the beach down a rock step path. Straight forward. Not the best visibility but the patch of sea we weee in was quite easy to swim in. About 6 turtles that kept circling around. Really good experience.Written 13 January 2025
- michelleiM8633ZK0 contributionsExcellentI had a shuttle joined with two other solo travellers. The driver was patient, kind, compassionate and considerate. I was going to get another driver from Mirissa to Kalutara and asked him me to drop Me off so I could arrange another taxi. He did not he took me to a place which was safe and arranged my transfer at no charge. He spoke very little English but made this happen and I was safely back at my hotel room by the end of the day. Excellent service 💯 recommend ♥️Written 10 January 2025
- igbar010 contributionsA great way to get from Ella to MirissaGreat! Easy to arrange and they reconfirmed all the details to us the day before. Vehicle arrived on time, smooth drive from Ella to the safari place and then easy journey onto Mirissa. The half day safari was amazing (we say elephants, a range of birds, a crocodile, monkeys and a jackal), and the safari was one of the highlights of our trip. They provided water and some really good honey wraps along with other food for breakfast. Would recommend to anyone who needs to go from Ella to Mirissa to do it this way!Written 8 January 2025
- lucia_W1986WG0 contributionsElla to MirissaI would not recommmend to spend 90$ on this service. First hour was terrible because The van was completely full And Unfortunately, we only have the back seats left. We were jumping up and down the whole road and feeling a little sick. They changed our car halfway through the trip and it got better. The worst was that driver didn't have any hotel addresses that we have written down in advance, so we drove back and forth around the city. They provided the service, we got to the park and to a new destination, but it wasn't worth the money.Written 30 December 2024
- G5247YVkateb0 contributionsIncredible safari and excellent shuttle serviceThis was a fantastic way to go on a safari around Udawalawe National Park and combine it with a transfer shuttle from Mirissa to Ella. Pick up was on time and brekky box was delicious. The safari was incredible, we saw so many elephants! It was a nice way to meet some other ladies travelling around Sri Lanka and to do the safari together. Would highly recommend.Written 10 December 2024

The service is definitily worth the money. The driver was on time, very kind and drove securly and in a relaxed way. Also the car was very comfy. We loved the stopover with the short hike to the waterfall. If you want to go from arugam bay to ella you can't travel better.
