The boat safari we booked through Nisha is wonderful. The driver Pradeep was so sweet showed us everything with patience and took beautiful photos for us. The mangroves is a must visit. 10/10 recommend.

Our river safari in Bentota was an absolutely brilliant experience and a true highlight of our trip. A big part of what made it so special was our guide, Coca, who was exceptional from start to finish. His knowledge of the river ecosystem was impressive, and he had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife—we would have missed so much without him. Thanks to Coca, we were able to see monitors, crocodiles, snakes, and monkeys up close in their natural habitat. Beyond his expertise, Coca was also warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and made every effort to help us capture the best possible photos, which we really appreciated. If you're considering a river safari in Bentota, I can’t recommend it enough—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Coca as your guide. It was an unforgettable experience!

The tour is only as good as it's guide, and our guide Coca was excellent. Lots to see. Feed the monkeys, see the Water Monitor's, crocodiles and Birdlife. I definitely recommend this as a thing to do in Bentota.

We loved it! We had such a nice experience and saw a lot of animals. It was very relaxing with the boot and under the trees :). Our boot driver Coca was also very friendly and spotted a lot of animals + knew some pretty good German! Would absolutely recommend :)
