This was a fascinating tour. We booked it because it highlighted elephants in Sri Lanka, but it actually covered many cultural and historical aspects of the island as well, so it was much more than just an elephant tour. We had a fantastic safari in Eco Park and were able to see many wild elephants up close. The Kandy Perahera was incredibly colorful, with beautifully dressed elephants, drummers, and dancers creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The hotels selected for us were excellent, offering great comfort and high standards, and the food was amazing throughout the trip. Our guide, Nishantha, was absolutely a gem. He helped us with daily activities and was very flexible in accommodating our needs. The hot air balloon ride was another highlight and is something I would absolutely recommend, even for families with kids. Our tour ended in Galle, where we had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. The beaches in southern Sri Lanka are clean and beautiful, and there are plenty of things to do in the area as well.Show more

Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with amazing scenery. I went with my family, and it was an eye-opening experience for all of us. We saw lots of elephants in their natural habitat—eating, playing, and bathing. The Kandy Perahera was amazing, with the drummers, dancers, and of course, the elephants. I would definitely recommend this tour, but if you have more time, I suggest extending it to see more of the country. We had very little time, and this tour was spontaneous. Anyhow, we had a great time.Show more
