Super
Richtig schöne Schnorcheltour! Wir waren früh dran, weshalb wir sogar Haie zu Gesicht bekamen. Der Guide gab uns alle Zeit, die wir wollten. Der Bootsmann war auch super! Hat viel erklärt und uns lecker Bananen und Wassermelone serviert

Zwiegespalten
Abholung und Rückfahrt haben problemlos geklappt. Die Wal- und Delphinbeobachtung war eher eine Wal und Delphinjagd. Es waren wahnsinnig viele Schnellboote auf dem Meer. Die armen Tiere! Unser Bootsmann war da sehr rücksichtsvoll und ist nicht jedem Tier hinterhergerast. Wir haben trotzdem sehr viele Delphine und eine Wale gesehen. Es bleibt ein Zwiespalt: man möchte die Tiere gerne sehen, aber nicht unter diesen Umständen...

A Magical Morning with Dolphins and Whales
An absolutely magical experience and a highlight of our trip! They picked us up directly from our hotel’s beach, and both men who took us out were warm, attentive, and incredibly sharp-eyed. They served us fresh fruit during the quieter moments and were quick to point out exactly where to look. We especially appreciated that they didn’t simply follow the other boats, often staying away from the pack and anticipating where the wildlife might appear. We saw hundreds of dolphins and a beautiful whale breach — my first time ever seeing a whale. A moment I will never forget. Highly recommend!

Perfect way to get from Kandy to Trinco with an amazing safari to see wild elephants!
Tour was excellent from start to finish. I had been looking for transport from Kandy to Trinco and came across this tour advertised in a few places. Had a couple questions, so reached out directly to the operator. They were brilliant; responsive, answered questions and so booked directly. Breaking up the long drive from Kandy to Trinco with a safari helps you ensure that you are making the most out of the day. Driver was on time, friendly, nice vehicle. Swapped to jeep with a guide midway, who took us to Minneriya National Park. They flex between a couple national parks depending on where the elephants are gathering. August being an excellent time to visit, given it is the largest known gathering of Asian elephants in the world, also means the parks can be busy… the safari guide had planned ahead an bought tickets in advance, so we didn’t have to wait to enter. We had the most amazing experience, with lots of elephants migrating and very close up to our jeep. A fruit snack stop on the way back to our shuttle vehicle and then smooth remainder of the journey on to Trinco. Highly recommend this shuttle and safari option for crossing Sri Lanka between Kandy and Trinco. Thank you.

Snorkeling off season
The driver and guide were first class. Pleasebe aware that snorkeling out of season can be a challenge with strong currents and coral reefs that can cut you. Despite this we saw turtles, including a very large one. Worth the experience for 1 hour30 minutes in the water.

Made our travels Trincomalee-Arugam Bay-Negombo simple and safe.
We used this transport company twice during our trip to Sri Lanka, and both experiences were fantastic. Our drivers were friendly, courteous, and drove with great care. They were more than happy to stop whenever we needed a bathroom break or wanted to stretch our legs, which made the journeys so much more comfortable. Sri Lanka’s roads can be quite an adventure, so it was incredibly reassuring to know we were travelling with such safe and experienced drivers. The company was wonderful to deal with from start to finish. Communication was prompt and efficient, booking and payment were simple, and we received quick confirmation along with all our driver’s details. Everything was organised so professionally. We highly recommend this company to anyone travelling in Sri Lanka and would happily use them again. Thank you for making our travels so easy and enjoyable!

Toller Start in den Tag mit vielen Delfinen 🐬
Unsere Tourguides haben sehr auf die Gesundheit der Delfine geachtet und nicht jedem Delfin hinterhergejagt wie man andere Boote die an dem Tag unterwegs waren. Wir wurden mit Snacks und Trinken gut versorgt und die Abholung fand direkt vor unserem Hotel statt. Sehr schöner Morgen 🐬
