Amazing Bentota River Safari Tour!  -  

2 minutes ago

I've found Daytoursrilanka via TripAdvisor and I happy, that we found them. We ordered the boat trip to mangrove in the river Bentota Ganga.... read more Gayan wait and meet me and my wife, walk/drive us to boat and the captain. Everything was at time (frankly speaking, we even came late), but thx for waiting, the price was honest and as agreed before (about 20usd per one boat for us, 2 persons and 2 hour trip). The trip was amazing, we saw and sail throw the mangrove forest, we saw birds, varans, some small and medium crocodiles all of them in the wild nature. We've visited and took on hands one small crocodile for some tips. It was cool, but the crocodile looks like a bit "bombed", we gave some tips for so-called "farmer" and sailed away. So, my advise is - must see, must visit. Approach Gayan for the services. No fear.

  I will start with the beginning, we were accommodated in Negombo (1h45min from Bentota river). The driver was very punctual, very good conditions in the car.

Then, a short visit to a Buddhist temple and a very, very nice visit to a turtle hatchery.

The cooking class, the open kitchen by the river(it's like a lagoon), the final results of what we cook together from rice to shrimp curry, vegetable curry, dahl, coconut roti, sambol etc the ambience you name it. One unforgettable experience for us. Thank you thank you!

On day 3 he then took us to Mirissa beach where we did a whale watching and had some of the best seafood dinners. Day 5 he drove us to Hikkaduwa where we swam with the turtles and in the evening had the best traditional Sri Lankan curry. Gayan is an amazing guide and speaks perfect English. He arranged everything for us and charged us a very low rate. This is my 3rd time in Sri Lanka and I will definitely be coming back and will only use Gayan. Highly recommend him for any tour you wish to go on.
