This was our first time visiting Sri Lanka, and we really wanted to go on a safari. We booked just a day in advance, but they handled everything very kindly. We were also very grateful that they arrived right on time for our appointment. Our guide did his absolute best to give us a great safari experience. He took us to more places and spent more time than other groups, allowing us to see countless animals. We would like to thank him once again. If you come to Sri Lanka, you must definitely experience a safari, and be sure to book it here. You will create unforgettable memories.

For my trip to Sri Lanka this time, I chose a 7-day luxury tour, handled by Ceylon Paradise Tours. The entire journey was wonderful! We visited many different places, and the hotels, transportation, and overall arrangements were excellent. The accommodations were very comfortable, and visiting the attractions went smoothly. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
I especially want to thank my driver, Wasantha. He was incredibly amazing—very attentive, patient, and explained everything so well throughout the trip. He made sure to show me all the worthwhile sights, and basically fulfilled all my wishes for where to go and what to do. I hope he gets more tours! He's truly fantastic!!!
Finally, I want to thank Ceylon Paradise Tours and driver Wasantha. This trip to Sri Lanka created so many golden memories. If I have the chance to visit Sri Lanka again, I'll definitely reach out to them for help. Highly recommend visiting Sigiriya and going on a safari! 🐆🐅🐘

Oshan and Imeth are professional guides. They are punctual for meetups. Since Sri Lanka’s weather can be unpredictable, the guides also monitor cloud forecasts to anticipate the weather and arrange the best itinerary for us, ensuring we don’t miss any attractions. They are also excellent photographers, capturing many priceless photos for us. Highly recommended.

I wanted to tour efficiently, so I booked a package. I had requested to stay at the Heritance Kandalama Hotel, known as Bawa's masterpiece, and the tour company changed the plan to arrange my stay there. They even went the extra mile and requested a room with a view of Sigiriya Rock from the hotel, and indeed, the room was perfect—I could see Sigiriya Rock right from my bed. The rest of the tour itinerary was also flexible; we could discuss it with the guide the day before, considering our energy levels. Our guide, Osha, was also excellent. It was a very fulfilling five days, and since it was a private tour, we were able to enjoy it comfortably. Tour Guide: Thank you, Osha! 😊

I loved this tour! It was private, flexible, and very relaxing. Sachi, my tour guide, was always kind and attentive, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the trip. I visited so many places and had so many great experiences in just two days. Thank you.

The service is very good. Prices are also affordable. Our driver , Ishara , was very cooperative and he was punctual too. I would recommend to take their services.

The room was huge, well-air-conditioned, and featured a lovely small balcony with a stunning view, along with a clean private bathroom. Overall, the cleanliness was good, and the staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and always smiling. The place also felt very safe and secure throughout my stay.
However, getting to the property was quite a challenge. The road leading up to it is very bumpy and uneven, and standard Uber drivers refuse to go there. As a result, I had to pay the driver a much higher rate than usual just to convince him to take me there
Ella at a glance
Quick facts about Ella
General info
What to know before visiting Ella
Quick overview of Ella and what to expect
Ella is a compact hill-town known for its outdoorsy tours and cultural experiences, with most bookings on walking and nature tours. Demand peaks in April and falls to a trough in June, so the town’s rhythm swings between lively peak-season booking months and much quieter winter weeks. Top activities on Klook are tours and local cultural experiences, reflecting a mix of sightseeing and short guided outings.
Best times to visit and how prices move
Klook booking data shows April is the busiest month, while June sees the lowest demand. Prices do not mirror demand perfectly: September is typically the priciest month on Klook, whereas January and April often offer the lowest typical prices. If you want smaller crowds and generally lower prices, aim for June or the January–February window; for the peak-season atmosphere choose April, but expect higher demand even if prices may be lower than September.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most visitors from Australia tend to book around two weeks ahead, with last-minute bookings common within about five days — so Ella works for both planned and flexible trips. If you’re travelling in April (the peak), consider booking core tours earlier in that two- to four-week window; for quieter months you can choose activities closer to your arrival. Use Klook to lock in tours and cultural experiences once your dates are set, especially for popular guided walks.
