Delightful. - We stayed with our guide Akita . It was truly fabulous he and his family were some of the most genuine people we met in Sri Lanka . They have 2 beautiful A frame buildings with everything you need . We ate delicious food and enjoyed our hike into the forest and swim in a waterfall. This is the post I have popped in Facebook —-Anyone planning their Sri Lanka trip. We went this year ( 4 all ages) and thankfully changed our trip at last min to go to Sinharaja Forest. We did a safari in Undawali in the morning. ( A lot less busy than Yala) Got a driver to the fabulous accommodation at the forest. Had dinner ( yummy) with our guide and breakfast next morning before hiking into the forest and swimming in a waterfall. One of our favourite days. Then onto Galle . Our guide Akita organized our pick up and drop off . The food at his house was amazing. Don't miss this. The forest is a UNISCO world heritage site. PM me if you want any more info. Akita speakers very good English. He has 2 beautiful A frames than each sleep 4 . Full bathrooms / AC . Everything you need .——

Authentic experience - Akitha is honestly one of the most beautiful souls I have met in this world. His knowledge and deep rooted connection to the Sinharaja Rainforest and all the tiny heartbeats which call it home, is truly unbeatable.
If you are looking for an authentic and memorable visit to this magical place I urge you
To contact Akitha. He speaks fluent English and he will open your eyes to life in the forest you would otherwise never know was watching. He is also a brilliant photographer, he helped us capture beautiful shots of hidden insects to look back on.
I sincerely hope I get to see Sinharaja through Akitha eyes again soon. Our group trekked for just four hours, if I were to do it again i would stay in Akitha’s glorious cabin in the trees and walk the pre dawn slot as the forest wakes up the next morning. Four hours is 💯 not enough. 🌳 🌱💚

The Nicest Man I Never Met - Unfortunately we did not get to take this tour as our pre-organised driver failed to turn up to our hotel to transfer us to Sinharaja from Kandy. Therefore, we never met Akitha face to face. However, through my regular communications with him, I can only say how sad I am never to have met him in the flesh. He tried desperately to arrange alternative transport at short notice for us and could not have been more understanding of our predicament. All pre-trip communication was excellent, confirming details, sending photos and even Christmas wishes.
Based on my dealings with Akitha I would encourage anyone considering booking his guiding tour to do so as I am sure you will not be disappointed. If his guiding is half as good as the man he seems to be, then you will not be disappointed. I know that should I ever return to Sri Lanka, booking Akitha for this tour will be the first thing I do.

Amazing guide and wildlife spotting experience - This experience was a 10/10. We couldn´t have been luckier with Akitha and his colleague. In terms of the package itself, it looked like this - they waited for us, gave us an amazing sri lankan lunch in his house (right by the entrance of sinharaja) and equipped us with ponchos and leech socks. Then, we started the hike. They brought salt and put it in our shoes to protect us from leeches. They were always taking care of us. We came in the rainy season, right after it rained so there were a buch of leeches. Still barely any got to us. We bumped into lots of other groups and they were not by far as equipped as us. The wildlife spotting was amazing. The guides were very friendly and ethical, they put a bigger focus toward protecting the wildlife than towards cattering it to tourist. We loved that. After the hike (3-4h), they gave us some Rotti, fruit and tea. Akitha was very kind and human. We will for sure come back and even try to stay at the very lovely Cabannas that he is constructing. They had a very priviledged view.

A wonderful, unforgettable experience - We had a wonderful rainforest tour (4 hours) with Akitha as our Tour guide. The nature was absolut stunning. And Akitha has a great knowledge of plants and animals of the rainforest. Also his English is very good, which made communication easy. He also provided leech protection, because we were afraid, it might have a lot of them. The day we were there, it probably would have not be necessary, but we were still glad to have them. Thank you very much Akitha for an unforgettable day.

A wonderful visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sinharaja Rainforest. - I was hiking in the Sinharaja rainforest, and Akitha was my guide. I can honestly say the experience was incredible. The rainforest, with all its biodiversity, was absolutely breathtaking. A refreshing swim at the waterfall made it even more unforgettable. What truly made the whole experience special was Akitha’s help, his calm, knowledgeable way of explaining things and his ability to spot even the smallest animals hidden in the forest. Highly recommend!

Unforgetable visit to Rainforest - It was our short and spontaneous stay on Sri Lanka. So far from Poland and so close to Equator. We wanted to visit Rainforest
The guide - Akitha was simply fantastic. Our family liked him immediately, Akitha is a very open and smart person, he is kind, helpful and had a lot of patience with our talkative and very active ADHD family. His tour was very detailed, interesting and full of passion and love for Sri Lanka. He is very professional guide, explained in detail the life of the rainforest world:
spotted every single animal on our way and showed us how precious and unique the nature of Sri Lanka is. He even let my child take millipede into hands, showed her how to swin on liane and answered all of our questions. He took us to the waterfall and let us swim in here (helping with walking on slippery rocks). We highly recommend the whole trip for everyone who's looking for adventure of their lifetime. After spending few executive hours in Rainforest with Akitha , we said goodbye like to good friends.

Best Guy guide in Sri Lanka - 🌿 Akhita is truly a gem of a rainforest guide! From the moment we met him, his warm smile and positive energy made us feel instantly welcome. He’s not only incredibly friendly and approachable, but also consistently helpful—always ready to assist with anything we needed, no matter how big or small.
His English is excellent, which made communication smooth and enjoyable throughout the entire experience. You can absolutely rely on him; Akhita takes care of every detail and ensures that each guest feels comfortable, safe, and well looked after. He’s the kind of person who goes above and beyond to make your journey unforgettable.
If you're planning a rainforest adventure, Akhita is the guide you want by your side. 🌴😊
