Great Tour Operator. Reliable and Trustworthy - I am very pleased I booked by Yala day safari with Shiran. I was picked up from my accommodation and travelled to Yala in a decent vehicle with a great driver. The safari experience was great, the guide was very good indeed. Booking with Shiran was easy and a decent price and importantly, their communication is top notch as well. If and when I come back I would use Shiran again for sure.

Unforgettable safari with Shiran - Shiran gave us an unforgettable day with lots of experiences! His knowledge of the flora and fauna is particularly worth mentioning. He was also able to tell us a lot about the country and its people. There was always time to take great photos. I can really recommend Shiran, as he speaks German quite well. There may be cheaper providers, but certainly no better ones!

Day tour with Little Tony at Yala national park 5th September. - Early morning start on the 5th September, drove to outskirts of yala and switched cars from air-conned minibus to jeep. What an amazing experience!!, we saw a huge amount of wildlife and birds. Tonys knowledge was amazing and told us all about the animals and bird species that we saw. Unfortunately we did not see any leopards but we did see a recent deer kill but the leopard did not let us see it. another fab tour with Tony

Highly recommended - We had 4 really good days with Shiran. We were on safari in Yale, boat safari in Bentota river, village tour, Galle, turtle rescue centre, snorkelling, tea plantation and factory, traveled by train and a lot of other things. Shiran made a lot of little stops on the way to show us all kinds of things, and a lot of places we would never had seen on our own. Shiran is very service minded, he is kind, has humor, and he loves Sri Lanka, knows a lot about the country, and wants to give you the best experience.

Amazing experience, superb service - We met the guys from Shiran travels and tours on our first day in Bentota. We found the whole team to be extremely honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy and so decided to go with them on Safari to Yala National Park. Shiran and his team arranged everything and we were even lucky enough to have him join us on our trip - his knowledge and enthusiasm for Sri Lanka is infectious!! I can honestly say the visit to the park was one of the most memorable experiences of my life, seeing so many animals in their natural environment was incredible. We were lucky and got to see monkeys, elephants, sloth bears (including cubs), crocodiles, and even a couple of leopards!! I would not hesitate to recommend this trip or Shiran travels and tours to anyone and would happily use them again the next time we visit Sri Lanka!

Shiran is the best - Shiran is a nature lover, a wise and generous man. He organized for us various activities such as the Yala safari, the boat safari on the Bentota river ( which is very good to adjust to the area when you just arrived ), the snorkeling etc. Above all Shiran, having a great sense of hospitality and respect, will ease your stay in providing advice and additional services (he drove us to the Brief garden and to the elephant festival spontaneously ) which will make your vacation very relaxing. In one word I would summarize our experience with Shiran as outstanding!

Yala safari with Shiran Tours - After a great experience on a whale safari arranged by Shiran Tours, we chose the same company for a Yala safari. We were picked up at out hotel on time and after 4 hours including a few short stops, we had lunch and then entered the jeep. Shiran Tours cooperate with a company with really skilled drivers. He did everything he could to show us as many animals and birds as possible during the safari. It was a fantastic day! A few days later we also went on the Bentota river safari, arranged by Shiran tours, and had the opportunity to see crocodiles, birds, snakes, monkeys and other animals. We can certainly recommend this company! They sincerely want you to return home with memorable experiences. Thank you Shiran, for great days! Niklas and Kristina from Sweden

Yala safari from Hikkaduwa - Myself and my husband went to Yala for the day from Hikkaduwa. We had the pleasure to meet Lakshitha and had an amazing time. Lakshitha was very punctual when he picked us up from the hotel and he patiently waited for us to finish our breakfast without any rush. All the timings and itinerary were explained and followed. It was a pleasant and comfortable drive all the way to Yala and back. We had many questions and curiosities about Sri Lanka and the driver helped us understand better the Sri Lankan way of life. While in Yala we had a local guide pointing us all the wildlife and we accomplished the viewings we were expecting - leopards, water buffalo, different mongoose, deers, crocodiles and loads of birds. There was no hassle or chasing the animals around. We totally recommend this company as they understand our needs and plan for the day accordingly. The patience and good vibes from the driver - Lakshitha Dilshan- really made this long day amazing. =)

Yala safari - We were very happy with this tour. The driver turned up on time and stopped off on the way to get some fresh king coconut. We saw a leopard, elephants, monkeys, warthogs, crocodiles, birds etc. it was a long day but that’s because we stayed in Bentota but it was ok and worth it. We also did a tour of the temples and freed the turtles which was a nice experience. Would recommend this company without question
