Great day at Kanneliya Rainforest - We had an amazing tour to the Kannelyia Rain Forest today and highly recommend to book a tour with Roshan and his team. The trip was well organized, great communication beforehand and we got to spend an amazing time in the rain forrest, seeing the beautiful nature and even a few animals. There was no rush at any point and we finished the tour with a lovely lunch next to the river.

Kanneliya forest reserve visit - Great tour! I chose a two-hour hike to the cave and waterfall. It was a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Special thanks to our wonderful and amiable driver, Vimukathi, and to Ceylon Tour Sri Lanka.

A nice trip - The driver was nice, the guide was good, the lunch was filling, the trek was taxing physically, but there was plenty to see. All in all, all good. The pickup was easy to arrange, no extra money was ever asked (no hidden costs, but we still tipped the people involved). We saw monkeys, birds, snakes, lizards, etc. The track was clean, and the guide picked upped the trash she saw. Showed pride of the place. We enjoyed.

Highly, highly recommendable!! - Amazing experience - can only highly, highly recommend!!! We were in Sri Lanka mainly for surfing and relaxing, but decided to undertake an adventure spontaneously. The tour was extremely well organized, the staff was very friendly and the experience mindblowing. If you have a spare day, don’t miss out on this!!!

Kanneliya Rainforest tour - The driver to the rain forest was good, drove well, was informative, helpful and patient. He took control of all the formalities (tickets and so on) and did not rush me while I had a swim. The guide at the park was very good also. She spotted things I wouldn't have seen and had good knowledge of Kanneliya Rainforest. Very good.

Natural Beauty at its best - This is one of the best places to visit if you would like to experience bio-diversity. Two natural waterfalls are there to visit.
