Bentota Tours and Day Trips 2026: River, Turtles, Galle, Prices

We got back yesterday from a two-day tour with an overnight stay at the Elephant Bay hotel and the climb to Sigiriya (this is the rock to choose for the climb). It was AMAZING!!!! WONDERFUL!!! The best tour!!! Our guide Denis (Dinesh) was simply brilliant. He kept us laughing the whole way, told us the history of Sri Lanka, answered all our questions, shared lots of interesting facts and helped us with photos and videos! Every stop on the tour was chosen very well and everything felt heartfelt. A special thank you to our driver Shalinda, who drove us safely and with style! We will have memories for a year, maybe for life. Over these two days it felt like we had travelled for a week through different countries, with different climates, nature and architecture, all in one place on a small island, Sri Lanka.

We loved the “Heart of Sri Lanka” tour! It was a beautifully organized trip. We saw an incredible number of sights and felt the atmosphere of an amazing country. A special thank you for helping us with the most important moment of our trip: a marriage proposal at the top of Sigiriya. Your help choosing the perfect moment and place among the wonders of the world made the day truly unforgettable. A separate highlight was the night at Mountain Heavens hotel. In the morning we stepped onto the balcony and saw elephants walking below. It was wonderful! The main thing that made the trip perfect was our guide Yasir, the soul of the tour. He told us about every sight with great charm, knew the best angles for photos and anticipated our wishes. His care, attentiveness and great sense of humour created a truly friendly and comfortable atmosphere. We felt completely safe, as if we were travelling with an old friend. Thank you to Yasir and the whole team! We will definitely recommend you to our friends!

We are sharing our impressions on the way home from the wonderful two-day “Heart of the Island Sri Lanka” tour! Other reviews have already said everything about the tour itself, so we would like to describe our experience, which came entirely thanks to our guide Yasir and driver Usama. A few words about the road: the car was comfortable and new, the air conditioning saved us the whole way, and despite the winding mountain roads, the driver followed all the traffic rules like a European driver. But we are especially grateful to Yasir. All the way he helped us with every little question. He is a very caring and attentive person. When someone tried to sell us something expensive, he took us to another place where the same thing cost less. At the tea factory during the tasting, we were offered only one type of tea. Yasir stood up for us, and in the end we got to try all the varieties. On the way he showed us many inexpensive places where we could get tasty food and fruit. Yasir also turned out to be a very interesting person. For two days we chatted about the culture of his country and compared it with ours. His English is excellent, he is deeply educated and also a polyglot. He even gets our memes! To our surprise, Yasir added variety to our programme. At the end of the second day we managed to visit a village where we were shown traditional life and customs, and we were fed traditional food and sweets. We even got to crack a coconut 🥥 And we must say Yasir is a professional photographer. The photos you see in this message are his. We are now nearly at our villa, where we will rest after such an intense and emotional programme. Many thanks to the organizers, Yasir, Usama and the local people of Sri Lanka!

We are absolutely delighted with the one-day SAFARI YALA + ELLA tour! It was an incredible adventure that left us with many vivid memories. We especially want to praise our guide Ishar. He was simply wonderful! Ishar is a true professional. He speaks English perfectly and has deep knowledge of Sri Lankan history, culture and nature. Thanks to him, the tour was not just sightseeing but an exciting journey into the world of this amazing country. The Yala National Park safari impressed me the most. Four hours flew by in a moment! We saw a huge number of wild animals: majestic elephants, a leopard (it was truly incredible!), deer, buffaloes, monkeys, crocodiles, monitor lizards and many beautiful birds. Ishar and the safari driver skilfully found the most interesting spots and told us about the animals’ behaviour, which made the safari even more exciting. Ravana Falls, Little Adam’s Peak, the Nine Arch Bridge, the train ride and the tea plantation were all lovely, but the Yala safari was the real highlight of the tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the real Sri Lanka and have unforgettable experiences. Be sure to ask for Ishar as your guide (by the way, he is from Belarus)! You won’t regret it. Thank you for a wonderful day!

We have just returned from the Galle Fort + 🛶 River Safari tour! It was wonderful and I recommend it to everyone! Of course, a lot depends on the guide. Ours was beyond praise! His name is MANO. He speaks English very well, knows the history of Sri Lanka brilliantly, answers all questions, makes subtle jokes at just the right moments and takes professional photos. In short, we are very happy with both the organization of the tour and how it was run! Many thanks to the driver too! The tour itself is fire! 🔥🔥🔥 We liked absolutely everything!!! THANK YOU!

Hello! We chose the one-day Kandy tour. It was very interesting and full, and it was led by a professional English-speaking guide, Denish. Denish is a very friendly, knowledgeable and conscientious guide with an excellent sense of humour. We are sure that if you want an unforgettable trip and lots of knowledge and impressions of Sri Lanka, you should definitely contact this company! You will not be bored for a moment.

Hello, I had an amazing 3-day tour in Sri Lanka, thanks to our fantastic tour guide and driver. Our tour guide, Mr Deshan, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and caring. He did everything to make sure every part of the trip was enjoyable, informative and perfectly organized. The driver, Mr Jagath, was equally wonderful: always punctual, professional, and he made us feel comfortable throughout the journey. Together, they made this trip truly unforgettable. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. You’ll be in great hands.
