  First, Delft island has a special personality for no real reason other than it’s a unique ferry ride from Jaffna. Because I learned how most travelers circumvent the trip for nearly nothing, while various companies sell for ridiculous amounts I was so let down. Forget booking it through platform sites. Everyone goes to same eatery which is also a lodging site. One Tamil staff slighted me because I said thank you in Shingalese. I didn’t find their food good or that people could smoke close to the food. From what the guy on the horse in the ad showed during the day I was extremely disappointed. French people who followed us doing the day on their own asked me how I felt. Devastated.

  I did a private tour with an other guest and it was delightful! The Tour guide is very helpful and attend all expectations that you need for someone who will show you and explain to you history, natural events and culture. We manage to pick me up, even if it wasn’t in the pick zone. He text me the previews day to make sure that we are in the same level of understanding. He came at time, with good energy and enthusiasm! I directly felt comfortable and as if I was with a good professional friend who knows his work and loves it. The tour was great, you can have a full dive into Sri Lanka and Jaffna history. It was very helpful to navigate further in my trip as a woman solo traveler. Thank you again ! I will definitely book you for all my next trip to Sri Lanka

  An amazing day with Arun our guide. We could not go to Delft Island as ferry was cancelled due to rough seas. But Arun put together a fabulous itinerary from bird watching in an eco environment to temples and cultural sites to chatting with locals at the beach. Great day out with knowledgeable and thoughtful guide.

  Arun was a very attentive and great guide. You can tell him his enthusiasm for his country and his region. We spent 1.5 days with him and he shows us a lot. He showed us Jaffna's sights and explained a lot to us. In addition, we drove with him to the islands of Delft and Nainativu also here he took very good care of us and taught us a lot. The lunch together was very delicious. At the beginning he gave us a Christmas present, really very attentive and kind of him, we were very happy about it. All in all great and definitely recommended, Arun makes his tours very flexible and individual and he always involves you in conversation so that you actively participate in the tour, thus his love for Sri Lanka transfers our region Jaffna to his participants. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If Sri Lanka and Jaffna then back with him 🫶🏻✨ Thank you for the great days in Jaffna.

  Arun turned to be a super lucky choice - I wanted to experience the history and context of Jaffna, and Arun was knowledgeable , passionate and highly communicative in getting that through for me . He is the best choice you can make to know Jaffna and its culture/ traditions well

  

  

  

• A wonderful visit to Delft Island

  I took the day tour to Delft and Nainativu with Jeenu as my guide, who was great! It is so nice to see the passion she has for Jaffna and the islands. She patiently answered all questions that I had! But regarding the tour, I was just stunned at the beauty of Delft Island! The birds, the trees, the sea, the stillness of time; it was just such a wonderful experience, and we were driven by a wonderful gentleman in an auto in Delft who clearly loves his island and all it has to offer. The Navy runs a small juice shop selling cactus and aloevera juice on the island - a wonderful gesture. The local folks were friendly! And don't miss the beach and the coral fort! My only suggestion to the team would be to arrange an auto/tuk-tuk as the ride to the jetty from Jaffna an hour away, and can be a bit uncomfortable on a bike. The ferry ride to Delft can be claustrophobic for some but I do appreciate the Sri Lankan Navy offering free services for citizens and tourists. Responsible tourism could truly support the local economy. Souvenir shops could sell postcards, local products and magnets. There is a cute post office but there were no postcards around, something I brought to Arun's attention. Finally, I really hope the spirit of the island remains as it is - immersed in nature; streets perfect for walking, cycling and autos only; the birds; a serene coastline and welcoming locals and Navy officers. Please do not change Delft's character and I hope it remains the way it is with improvements for its residents! I highly recommend the visit to Delft for a day.

• Jaffna evening tour + excursion Delft Island

  Because we only arrived in Jaffna at 3pm, an evening tour was organized for us. There is a driver who takes us everywhere and a guide. Our first stop was the Hindu temple: Nallur Kandaswamy Devasthanam. In addition, we were explained about the temple / rituals / differences with Buddhism. Afterwards we went to King Sangiliyan's Minister's House. A place we were probably never going to have stopped without a guide. Because we were on the evening tour, the library was just closed so we continued to Jaffna fort. Our guide took the time to walk around the full fort and give information. After everything, we wanted to go somewhere to eat but we didn't immediately know where. They called around and dropped us off at a restaurant, also mentioned that we definitely didn't want to eat too spicy. Afterwards we got a message if the food was good! Super sweet! The day after, a one-night day tour was arranged on Delft Island. Everything from transports were excellently arranged! On Delft Island, we slept in a hostel: Delft Village stay. We slept in tents there! Nice! A very nice accommodation for backpackers! You will meet many new people! Jille & Magaly
