        Brilliant authentic experience ,highly recommended
        We had a fantastic authentic tour with our guide Nalin who picked us at no 2 gate and off we went . We enjoyed all the activities which included visiting the curd maker, the honey maker ,the authentic pottery maker,the salt farm and our wonderful tuk tuk tour of Yala ,the lakes and surrounds with a local farmer. Just brilliant. This is a large rice growing area and we also saw peacocks, monkeys, buffalo and lots of cattle. However the highlight was going to Nalin"s home meeting his family and for them to allow us into their home. We shared curd, had king coconut and one of the best cups of tea we have had. This private tour is the real deal made even more special by Nalin. We highly recommend this wonderful experience.

        Authentic Experience with Outstanding Service!
        We had an incredible experience with Nalin, our car driver. He provided exceptional service by going above and beyond to retrieve a forgotten purchase and personally deliver it back to our ship. The tuk-tuk ride was another highlight—it offered us a genuine glimpse into everyday life, far from the typical tourist activities. It was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend this experience with Beyond Escapes for anyone seeking authenticity and top-notch service!

        Unforgettable Family Safari at Yala National Park
        Our family had an incredible half-day safari at Yala National Park from Hambantota Harbor. The journey was informative, and the park’s stunning landscapes were breathtaking. Our kids were thrilled by the elephant sightings and our guide’s expertise. The safari vehicle was comfortable and safe for everyone. The timing was perfect, allowing us to spot various wildlife. The kids loved asking questions, and our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. This outing was both exciting and educational, creating lasting memories. Kudos to the organizers for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend this as an ideal family activity!

        additional compliment about beyond escapes
        We had an amazing time with the Beyond Escapes team! Our ship docked at 8:00 a.m. at Hambantota Harbor, and we were warmly welcomed by the team. From there, we headed to Leopard Nest for a truly memorable outdoor lunch in the Yala buffer zone. The private Yala safari that followed was incredible. Our guide was an expert naturalist, and we learned so much about Yala National Park. We even saw leopards, deer, and many other animals. Thank you so much for arranging such an unforgettable tour!

        Beyond Escapes - terrible pick a different safari operator
        Beyond Escapes were terrible. We did 1/2 day tour not full day and pick up from port. They gave us our own safari jeep with a non speaking English driver who did not guide or show us where animals were. We did not get any drinks or snacks that were part of the tour. Note - you will not ever see any leopards or bears as advertised unless ? you are maybe there 5:00am in morning or very very lucky. Very disappointing…

        Disappointed
        Very disappointed. The journey was horrendous. I managed 14000 steps on my Fitbit whilst in the 4x4. The driver was in a separate cab so we had no commentary. We only saw a crocodile, mongoose, a dung beetle and a jungle fowl. We were pleased we only booked the half day tour.

        Great Ground Handling Service
        We contacted Beyond Escapes to handle our friends who visited Sri Lanka during the month of March. They were so accurate. Picked the clients on time for a Safari at Yala National Park. We highly recommend their service.
