What a brilliant day we had with Sundown Tours Sri Lanka exploring some of the most beautiful places around Ella.The team was very friendly and professional, and they also have a nice restaurant which was a great bonus. Our trip included the beautiful Hali Ella to Ella train ride, the stunning Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, and Ravana Ella Falls with amazing views along the way. We had already visited Udawalawa Elephant Transit Home before, so the team kindly suggested visiting Hikkaduwa Turtle Heritage instead and it was a fantastic experience. The guide was superb and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sri Lanka! 🌴

Amazing day trip with Sundown Tours Sri Lanka! The train ride was beautiful, and we visited tea plantations, a spice garden, the Nine Arch Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak. My favorite part was the Elephant Transit Home in Udawalawa really amazing! People in Sri Lanka always smile and are very nice. We asked for an English-speaking guide, but there was a French-speaking guide that day. It was no problem: the guide was very friendly and gave a lot of explanations about the area. An amazing experience! ✨
