Our 5-day private family journey from Kandy was nothing short of life changing Traveling with children can be challenging but Kandy Safari and Beyond handled every detail with such grace and professionalism that we felt completely at home From the golden caves of Dambulla to the majestic heights of Sigiriya our guide transformed history into captivating stories for our kids However the true soul stirring moments happened during our safaris in Minneriya and Kaudulla Unlike the crowded tours our driver found us a secluded spot where we watched a massive elephant herd in absolute silence Seeing my children’s eyes light up with pure wonder was a feeling I can’t put into words it was a moment of deep connection with nature The little things truly set this team apart a pristine spacious van fresh tropical fruits after a long hike and an authentic family lunch served on lotus leaves They didn't just provide a service they cared for our family like their own If you want a safe emotional and deeply immersive Sri Lankan adventure this is the only team to trust Truly unforgettable!
Our five day family trip in Sri Lanka was smooth safe and full of memorable moments Starting in Kandy we enjoyed the peaceful city and the Temple of the Tooth The Kandy to Sigiriya & Safari Day Tour was a standout with a relaxed pace that suited everyone Sigiriya and Dambulla were fascinating and the national park safari thrilled both kids and adults Later Nuwara Eliya s tea hills and Bentota s beaches added a perfect mix of nature and relaxation The whole experience felt well organized and family focused.
Amazing tour like before, nothing wrong and the experience was joyful and wonderful as well.
Fantastic and nice tour from Kandy, just like the last tour we visited last time. All in all, had a great time with them and the price was reasonable as well.
The wildlife park was very good we got to see elephants up close and peacocks and the driver and guide were very knowledgable. Had buffet lunch at a nice spot then walking up to Sirigiya and stop off on the way back for fresh coconut! Our guide was very good he was informative and navigated all the roads well.
We came to Srilanka yesterday and I booked this tour as the reviews were amazing and everything was reputable. So, yeah, I would say that the tour was worth the money.
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.
Just amazing, nothing negative, everything is above positive that's just how good it is. The hotel that I stayed was situated in kandy, so I bed this tour from kandy, and it was perfect. I was picked up in a comfortable car, throughout the whole tour it was super and the booking was absolutely easy, my driver Wasa was also very attentive and covered al my needs. Absolutely positive.
Me, my parents and my sibling had a wonderful experience throughout the tour. I was thrilled when I experiences the level of service they had offered and it was unbelievable. The locations we visited were also awesome, the safari,the sigiriya Rock and Dambulla cave, were top notch.
I had an amazing trip from Kandy to Sigiriya and safari, it was cheap as well. Yes we did all the entrances and jeep cost but worth every penny. Communication from the start to end was perfect. Our driver suresh was really nice and careful driver, he explained many things regarding culture and history. Overall satisfied day tour.
