Excellent Experience - We had an absolutely amazing day, our driver was excellent. The river boat tour was really good, we saw many animals thanks to our guide. We especially enjoyed the temple, it was very beautiful and an honour to take part with the warm and friendly community. Overall a great introduction to this wonderful country

Fantastic! Highly Recommend - Where to begin! From start to finish it was wonderful, Sam organised everything for us and Dinesh our driver was so kind and sweet and waited for us at each stop. We started with a River Safari where we saw crocodiles, monkeys (with one peeing on my sister, a memory that will last forever), birds, lizards and more. We then went to a gem museum and from there went for a delicious lunch! The food was the best we have had since being here. After lunch we went to see the Sea Turtle Conservation which was something we will remember forever. Lastly we went to a Tea Factory where we learnt so much abut tea and the making of it. Thank you so so much to BTM for organising such a fabulous day out, we have created memories that we will cherish forever. One recommendation; we suggest brining some smaller and larger notes to tip if you want to. Thank you, Emma and Katie

Amazing Safari and Turtle Care - Our trip started at 7.30 am. Sam from BTM organized everything and we were able to add what we wanted to see and what not. Dinesh our driver was of course very punctual again and drove us to the bentoto river. Our river guide Sumnl was already waiting for us. Sumnl can speak English very well and is very friendly. He has a tiger eyes and sees animals we would never have seen. In the middle of the safari he stopped and cut us a fresh golden coconut that we could drink and a fresh pineapple for eat. Both were just delicious!! On the river trip we stopped with someone he knew who had rescued a baby monkey when his mother died and a small crocodile, both of which he is releasing when they are old enough. After that we stopped by a tree there were a lot of monkeys, just a dream. We saw a few animals and the river landscape was just indescribable. Thank you dear Sumnl for the great river safari! After that we were in a garden looking at cinnamon, aloe vera and something more. It was great but in the end it wasn't the best of the day. That's why our great driver Dinesh drove us to the temple with the huge Buddha, that was very impressive. He even had clothes for us because you are not allowed to wear short dresses. And in the end we weren't hungry and were able to skip lunch spontaneously and went straight on to Turtle Care at Santha Ferando's. It was just impressive what they do and help for the Turtles! You are doing a great job! Thank you for the great impressions! The excursion can only be recommended and if there is something you would rather not do, you can say so and the day will be designed in such a way that you are simply satisfied at the end. I would book with BMT again! You're just doing it brilliantly!

Amazing must have trip - We had an amazing tour in Bentota Village with river safari. It was great fun for a full day for me and my friends. The tour is packed with well chosen activities and the river safari is impressive. Also we had a very delicious and rich lunch at a local house near the lake. If we wouldn t have chosen this trip, it would have been a big loss for our vacation. Bentota Travel Mart agency is highly professional, I was extremely impressed by the level of engagement of the tour organiser, he was highly flexibile and went far and beyond to make us happy. I totally recommend choosing any trip with these guys!

Best Tour Organizer - We wanted to activities in Bentota and not want travel very far as my wife is pregnant. We booked everything through Bentota Travel Mart and they worked very professionally from the frist point. We did Bentota Village tour and Tutel Hatchary , River safari and cultural experience was so amazing. I also did scuba diving and also our Airport transfer was arranged by Bentota Travel Mart. Highly recommended Bentota Travel Mart for anyone who wants professional travel services in Bentota.

Really good with only one little thing to improve on. - The tour was really great. The guides were knowledgable, friendly and really caring. The only thing that could be better would be the use of electric engines with boats during the river safari. It would help cut down on noise and air pollution, which would prevent the animals from being scared away and improve the air that the passengers have to breathe - which really consisted of lots of fumes.
