Things to do in Sri Lanka

I had an amazing experience with this private tuk-tuk tour in Colombo! My transport from Kalutara was delayed, so I arrived about 30 minutes late, and my drop-off location also changed unexpectedly. But my guide was incredibly kind and flexible, even coming to pick me up at the new location. Despite the limited time, he took me to many places, including historical landmarks, Lotus Tower, a Ceylon tea shop, and some beautiful hidden gems. He also shared fascinating insights about Sri Lanka’s history, culture, and current situation, which made the tour much more meaningful. After the tour, he even helped me find an affordable direct bus to the airport. He took me to another terminal when the first one was full and made sure I could get to the airport on time for my 11 PM flight. Highly recommended! He was knowledgeable, helpful, flexible, and genuinely cared about making my experience in Colombo memorable. Definitely one of the best decisions I made in Sri Lanka!

It is a really good safari experience,and the guide is really patient and kind, he always meets my demands and he is really good at searching animals. We find a lot of animals, not only elephants( and there are a great amount of elephants for real),but also the other wildlife.I will definitely recommend it!

Amazing cruise and an unforgettable experience! 🐋🐬 On time pickup, I was a solo tripper, but did not feel like one, they greeted me with a big smile and treated to a delicious breakfast, tea, water, cake, and bananas on board. Along the way we spotted spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, false killer whales, and to top it all off, a majestic fin whale. The crew made sure, we see them all before ending the trip Great organization and a fantastic atmosphere - highly recommended! The boat is very comfortable!

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Rassen. From coordinating our schedule to everything else, we were able to travel comfortably with a skilled guide. He was also incredibly kind. I really appreciated how well he explained what to be aware of while traveling in Sri Lanka, as well as the characteristics of each location and what to expect. His driving skills were also excellent, and he guided us safely, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Highly recommended!!!

It was an absolutely beautiful and unforgettable adventure. We got to see 50–70 elephants up close from our private jeep, and our driver was incredibly experienced and made us feel completely safe. He went the extra mile too — extending the safari to spot other wildlife, and even dropping us at a fruit shop afterward for the sweetest, most refreshing watermelon. Exactly what we needed in the heat.🐘

Sadeep, the local operator, who is also the snorkeling guide and expert was very thorough with everything. First, he suggested that we have to move our booking from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM for better weather conditions of the trip, and glad we did! Secondly, he picked us up earlier 8:50 AM which was very nice. Thirdly, upon arriving at the area where we gonna do the activity, he explained everything: from the dos and donts, our snorkeling experiences, etc. Fourth, we saw a total of 3 turtles and it was a great experience! Lastly, Sadeep offered a king coconut as refreshments after the activity. It was fun, well guided trip and very affordable.

Really enjoyed our experience with Nuwan. He is patient, helpful and accommodating. The tour had a good range of activities lined up and had a well planned route. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic 7-day tour in Sri Lanka with Ceylon Paradise Travel. Our guide Chanaka was professional, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. He flexibly and thoughtfully adjusted the plans according to the weather. The itinerary matched our interests perfectly, and every day felt enjoyable and well organized. We learned a lot, took great photos, and truly felt taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a personalized and stress-free way to explore Sri Lanka!

amazing experience we saw most of the animals. would definitely booked it again next time if I come back. Highly recommended!

we had an amazing time , our guide made sure we saw enough turtles and helped us throughout with the breathing and clicking our pics underwater, he took us inside safely even to see the coral reefs , we would definitely recommend to go with them

We went to Yala National park today with Srizara. We had Lucky come with us as a naturalist and guide for the day. We had a great experience and were able to see all the animals on our list including the leopard with the opportunity to take great photos. We couldn’t have hoped for a better day thank you 🙂.

had the most wonderful experience, the guide was so fast to spot opportunities to see rare animals. we spotted not one but four leopards. this was amazing considering the morning safari on the same day couldn’t spot any. 10/10 - just book it!
