5.00As a solo female traveler, I had an absolutely fantastic day with Mr. Priyantha as my guide. He has incredible knowledge about both the plants and the wildlife, and you can really feel his passion for nature. The hike is about 9 km and very manageable. Swimming at the waterfall was wonderfully refreshing. We spotted several types of snakes, different lizard species, a big tarantula, and even a little Ceylon monkey. He picked me up and dropped me off safely at my hotel. His wife is also incredibly kind and prepared the most delicious Sri Lankan lunch, along with amazing snacks like roti and special cookies. An unforgettable day — highly recommended!
Very knowledgeable guide!

5.00We had a very nice trip as a couple in Sinharaja Forest Reserve. Our guide was extremely competent and shared many interesting facts about the rainforest. The tour was well organized and very informative. Especially the waterfalls were beautiful and refreshing! We could see much of the fascinating forest life. A small tip: wear suitable footwear, as the paths are partly slippery. We definitely recommend the tour!

5.00Mr. Priyantha is a super knowledgeable guide and he shows me a lot of fauna and flora information. I feel his passion about the nature. During half day - 5hr hiking, I saw 3-4 birds, ash monkey (?) with grey beard, squirrel with yellow belly, 3 types of snakes, lizards when eatting and mating and 2 fishes in the waterfall. What a wonderful trip and understand the nature more than I expected. Organic tea plantation in this area.
