We had an eventful day with Suresh. He took our personal priorities into account and showed us all the sights in Ella that were also mentioned in the description. We personally didn't like the tea factory. We booked the "Plantation Tour", where we were given five minutes of explanations, where we were supposed to collect tea leaves for the rest of the time for $10 and then they wanted a tip. But that's just our personal taste. On the way home from Ella to Koggala a storm broke out, the road was flooded and there was nothing left to see. Nevertheless, Suresh brought us safely to the hotel confidently and responsibly. We even stopped on the way to buy something to eat. We are so, so grateful to him for that! We really liked him, he explained a lot to us and accompanied us everywhere. As for the "moderate pace" - you actually have to be very athletic for the tour!

All in all a great experience! We had a great transportation from Mirissa to the parks and back. Thank you Shuresh (hopefully I spelled it right) 😁! It was a long day, but you made it so much comfortable for us 😍! Our driver for the safari was amazing, really an expert at what he does and a master at spotting leopards! We were able to spot 2 of them, the first time it was near our jeep! It is his passion and he passed it through to us 😍! Thank you Yashara for this wonderful experience! It was our first safari and it will definitely stay in our hearts! We could spot many animals, like crocodiles, water buffalos, elephants and so many more!

Great experience overall! We booked last minute and they were very responsive to our queries and accommodating. The driver picked us up from the arrivals area and made it straight to weligama in one go! Highly recommend

It was amazing. The driver arranged everything we needed. We had enough time at every spot and also had some free space for changing locations. It was a safe and clean drive. We can highly recommend

Everything was on point. Great coordination, and everything done perfectly.
