Super convenient and well organized trip - Our Ella day tour was absolutely amazing, made even more special by our fantastic guide. He was professional, friendly, and full of knowledge about the local history, culture, and hidden gems around Ella. From the breathtaking views at Nine Arches Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak to the serene beauty of Ravana Falls, he made sure we experienced the very best of this stunning region. He kept the day well-organized, yet flexible, allowing us to enjoy every stop without feeling rushed. His storytelling and insights brought each place to life, and he went above and beyond to make the tour comfortable and memorable. If you’re planning a visit to Ella, we highly recommend booking this tour. It’s the perfect way to experience the highlights in just a day, and having such a knowledgeable and passionate guide makes all the difference.

Scenic Slice of Sri Lanka – Ella, Lipton Seat, and the Train Journey of a Lifetime! - Our tour to Ella from Mirissa was nothing short of magical. Yes, it was a long drive — but every hour on the road offered a window into the real Sri Lanka. Rolling hills, misty mountains, smiling villagers, and roadside fruit stands created the perfect backdrop for our journey into the island's lush interior. Ella itself is a charming little town nestled among tea-carpeted hills. The vibe is relaxed, the air crisp, and the views simply jaw-dropping. The Nine Arch Bridge was even more impressive in person than in pictures. We arrived just as a train rumbled across it — a bucket-list moment that felt like a scene out of a movie. The walk through the forest to get there added to the experience — peaceful, green, and full of birdsong. The highlight for us, though, was the trip up to Lipton’s Seat. We took a tuk-tuk through the Lipton tea plantation, winding through emerald green fields, waving at tea pickers, and taking in some of the most spectacular views in the country. At the summit, where Sir Thomas Lipton himself used to sit and admire his empire, we were treated to a 360-degree panorama that stretched for miles. It was cool, quiet, and deeply serene. And of course, the Ella train ride — what an unforgettable experience. It lives up to the hype and then some. Hanging out the open doors, gliding through tunnels, past waterfalls and villages... it felt like we were part of something timeless. Despite the long haul from Mirissa, this tour was the perfect way to explore the heart of Sri Lanka. We saw so much of the countryside, from coast to hills, and came away with a deeper appreciation for the island’s natural beauty and culture. Highly recommend this experience for anyone who wants more than just beaches — this is Sri Lanka at its most magical.

The Best Day Tour Ever - An early start (4am) it was worth it. We were given all of the information about our trip via WhatsApp the day before, this was easy to follow and everything went according to schedule. All perfect. You skip the crowd at each attraction. The early wake up is worth it, and you’re back during the afternoon. Dinesh the driver is very engaged and very forward looking

Highly Recommended Day tour - It was Solo Experience i think it was group or some group activity but they reserved private vehicle with good driver, and it was awesome day tour from down south beach to Ella and that train ride in Ella was unique experienced there. As well as i drive Tuk Tuk in Liptons Seat and that tree bushes and other view points are awesome. No need to stay in Ella. Highly recommended this day tour.

Amazing Tour - Superb Tour. Great communication from SL Wayfares Team. Sammu was our driver and guide for the day. Very friendly and professional. Explained local landmarks, stopped for photos, and generally looked after us really well. Met us straight off the train. The waterfall, Little Adams Peak, the train ride and the Tuk Tuk ride all amazing. The lunch also fantastic in a quality restaurant. No short comings here. Highly recommend.

A Great Experience - From A Solo Traveller - A great experience. Everything you need to see in Ella, in one day! I didn't feel rushed at all either. It was perfect for what I wanted to experience in Ella. Waterfalls, hiking, the train ride, local cuisine for lunch, tea plantations. Even got to have a go at driving a Tuk Tuk. Highly recommend, and worth the money.

Wonderful day in the nature of Ella - The whole day was memorable! The driver was super friendly and professional at the same time. He picked us up at our guest house at 5am and then we drove all the way to Ella. He gave us information about the history and traditions in Sri Lanka, walked with us to the top of mini adams peak and guided us to the most wonderful views. He secured a great spot on the train ride for us and everything always with a smile. Also the run tuk drive was an experience, even though it was raining and there was no view because of the clouds, we still had the time of our lives as the tuk tuk driver let us drive back down. And let us pick tea leaves and tast the different varieties. We were back in the evening around 8pm. It was a wonderful day that I will remember with a smile on my face!
