Great ella experience - We were picked up in tangalle and visited a temple, hiked to a waterfall through beautiful nature, stopped at the ravana ella waterfall, and hiked to the nine arch bridge and little adams peak. Due to the recent weather our itenerary deviated slightly from what was mentioned on the website, but it was a good program. Dylan provided us with a lot of interesting information about the nature, the country, the sightings and the culture. He also took a lot of great pictures of us and made a fun recap video. There was some miscommunication about the trip not automatically being a retour trip, but Dylan was able to arrange a taxi back for us.

Waterfalls, a bridge and a mountain. - I was picked up in Hiriketiya and driven in a Prius to Ella with a terrific driver, Pubudu. We stopped at Secret Falls which was pristine. The Rawana Waterfall which was huge. Then we watched the train pass over the Nine Arches Bridge which was awesome. We then had a delicious Sri Lankan Dahl curry and Rotti lunch. Afterwards we walked it off by climbing Little Adam’s Peak!

excellent day trip - Excellent tour, guided by Dylan. We started off with a hotel pickup at 4:00am. The driver was super friendly, and efficient. At my request Dylan accommodated a trip of the tea estate at Lipton which was a bit off original route but he did so within the agreed upon price For one day and for the distance between Colombo and Ella, the number of activities covered was excellent. The guide was respectful, kind, and very helpful with tips and info. Highly recommended

Beautiful day in Ella - I had a very nice day with Dylan. He showed me the surroundings of Ella expertly and made sure I was doing well. He also organized the bus ride to Galle the next day, for which I am very grateful to him.

Would not recommend for solo female traveller - I was picked me up from my hotel in Ella and we visited some amazing less visited parts of Ella. Whilst the places we visited were incredibly beautiful, I did not feel comfortable on this tour due to inappropriate behaviour from the guide. Because of this, I would not recommend this tour for a solo female traveller.
