  Tour started at the cruise port with a pickup. We met the tour guide and driver and only had to wait a few minutes before we started. The truck had 6 seats all outside and the drive to the park was about 1,5h. Park entrance of (35$) not included. We got water and juice, there was a stop for food at the park.

• Day trip from cruise ship

  Unless you are there at sunrise or sunset you are not going to see a huge array of animals. Probably will encounter a few elephants, buffalo, deer and a few smaller ones and birds. The roads when you get into the park are atrocious so you are being thrown everywhere and the driver has to concentrate so is not looking for animals. There are too many vehicles in the park so when there is a sighting there is a huge congestion and few get to see anything.

• Bumpy, hot and not many animals

  Not the fault of the tour operator, but we saw few animals and certainly no leopards which probable would only be seen very early morning. The park road was crowded with safari vehicles all trying to overtake on a very narrow and very bumpy road. Our guide tried hard to find the animals but besides a few elephants, a couple of mongooses and a jackal that was our lot. Our guide drove well unlike many of the other drivers on the road who drove like maniacs. Our vehicle was not 4WD as promised which meant that certain roads could not be accessed. Also there were no binoculars provided as promised in the description of the tour.

  We took the tour from our cruise ship which they did an excellent job with communication, collection and drop off - the total time was about six hours. Although Yala has the most densely populated area of snow leopards in the world, don’t expect to see them in the heat of the day - when we were there. However, we encountered many elephants, monkeys, crocodiles, lizards, mongoose, a variety of bird life, water buffalo, peacocks +++ I can’t recall them all! Our driver/spotter was excellent ‼️ as well as the vehicle. Yes the roads are very very bumpy but if you have the right driver and vehicle it is manageable, coming from a person with back issues I did just fine 👍🏻 it is about an hour from the port but the scenery is beautiful.

• Awesome day, great guide!

  This was a great day. The tour operator communicated well regarding our pick up location and time. The drive to the park was very good, it was an excellent way to see the local scenery. The roads in the park are rough, so expect to be jostled around. Ishan was very diligent at trying to find the animals for us. Unfortunately we didn't see any leopards, but we did see elephants (including a baby), lots of birds, water buffalo and beautiful scenery. Ishan was very cognizant of the time we needed to be back for the ship and he had us back in lots of time, without cutting anything short. All in all, a really fun day! Highly recommend 😊
