Make sure your driver communicates that they know to pick you up when that is what you’ve booked them to do!

5.00We were met by Jaga our guide at the location sent by the company and we set off on the river. Jaga was excellent at spotting wildlife, we saw 3 crocodiles, river monitor lizards, monkeys, chameleons, bats, kingfishers and an eagle. The ride was smooth and Jaga answered all of our questions about the wildlife and told us information about the area. We drove carefully through the mangroves spotting wildlife, trees and points of interest such as the Buddha and Buddhist temple. A great way to see a different landscape in Sri Lanka.
Fantastic trip -saw so much wildlife

5.00A wonderful and memorable river safari experience for our family. The boat ride through the mangroves was peaceful and beautiful, and the guide explained everything very clearly. Seeing wildlife up close in a safe and responsible way was especially exciting for the kids. A great educational and nature-filled experience. Highly recommended for families visiting Sri Lanka.

5.00We had the asolutely best river safari! Our guide Nicholas was incredible, we didn't rush, he was well articulated, asked for and understood our needs from the start of the safari. We spent our time looking for the things we'd asked to see which we saw. The communication from start to finish was an absolute breeze, no hidden costs, extras just pure joy. As a family of 4 adults we felt every second was worth the experience we had. I cannot understate this tour in any way, possibly one of the best experiences we had in Sri Lanka. We were on time, he was early, we expected it a bit shorter he went over the time allocated, all for our benefit. This is a gem find, if you are reading this review, just book it!!!! YOU ARE NOT MAKING A MISTAKE!!! With love from South Africa! ♥️

5.00Very good river trip with a pleasant and knowledgeable guide. We spent 2.5 hours wandering the river and in the mangroves. The boat driver was nice to talk to and did his best to find some crocodiles for my 9 year old son.
Wonderful immersion with flora and fauna. Final photo at sunset with coconut. Driver and team perfect. Council

5.00Wonderful boat trip and visit to the protected turtle reserve. A must: the flora and fauna are truly stunning. We stopped earlier in the turtle reserve and, with an English-speaking tour guide, we were able to admire the young and older turtles who take care of it. It was very moving, especially because of the dedication of the staff. To be able to see the passion they have for this precious work! The boat ride lasted long enough, just right to see the much that nature has to offer. We saw birds, monkeys (coming close to eating), lizards, bats, etc. The driver and tour guide were very accurate. We also took distant photos of the Buddhist temple while we were on the boat. Last break and then final photo of the sunset and coconuts. I really recommend it.
Well worth it

5.00We booked this experience last minute and it turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of our trip! From start to finish, the service was exceptional – we were picked up from our hotel and dropped back afterwards, which made everything so easy and stress-free. The organization was seamless, and our captain was fantastic – super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and had the eyes of an eagle! He effortlessly pointed out monkeys, crocodiles, bats, iguanas, water monitors, birds, eagles… we saw so much more than we ever expected. It was like being on a real-life nature documentary! To top it all off, we were treated to delicious, fresh coconut water – such a thoughtful touch. The two hours flew by in what felt like minutes. Truly an amazing, memorable experience – I couldn’t recommend it more
