Well-Planned Tour Delivering Culture and Adventure - The tour delivered an excellent blend of heritage exploration and natural adventure. Our guide’s local knowledge was exceptional, helping us understand the cultural significance of Sigiriya and Dambulla without overwhelming us. Every transition—from climbing the rock fortress to entering the quiet temple caves—felt natural and calm. The safari rounded off the day beautifully. Overall, it was a thoughtfully designed trip that exceeded expectations.

The Safari was the highlight of the tour - Great Day trip and highlight being the safari and seeing about 20 elephants. Before the trip was told the price of enterance cost and jeep hire most of which has to me paid in cash. The rock is a great experience, but it is about 1,200 steps to the top! I'm in my 60s and took me under one to get to the top then had a rest a got to the bottom within 2 hours total. The Dambullar caves were very interesting, but over 300 steps to get to them! Warning a person came up to us and told us about the caves and then wanted 1,000 as he was a guide which to be honest was ok. Great trip and you will sleep well afterwards.

Solo Explorer’s Dream in Sri Lanka. - I went on the Day Tour from Kandy to Sigiriya, Dambulla & National Park Safari alone, and it was an unforgettable experience. I spent three days exploring Sigiriya Rock Fortress, the ancient cave temples in Dambulla, and the wildlife in the National Park. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and ensured I could enjoy every moment. Walking alone through these historic and natural wonders gave me a sense of peace and freedom. Highly recommended for solo travelers seeking both adventure and tranquility.

Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kandy. - I had an amazing day exploring Sri Lanka’s cultural and natural wonders! The tour from Kandy to Sigiriya was fantastic — the climb to the ancient fortress was awe-inspiring, and the views from the top were breathtaking. Visiting the Dambulla Cave Temple was a spiritual highlight, with its stunning Buddha statues and intricate paintings. The safari at the National Park was the perfect ending; I saw elephants, colorful birds, and even a few monkeys. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kandy!"
