Superb Tour!

We had a great boat tour with Coca. He was very kind and shared lots of information with us. The ride was very comfortable and we were able to see lots. Some of the animals we saw were monkeys, crocodiles, snakes, water monitor, bats, and a variety of birds. Hats off to Coca our guide, he was very helpful and provided a great experience for us. I highly recommend this boat tour, it is really worth it.

Safari

The boat safari we booked through Nisha is wonderful. The driver Pradeep was so sweet showed us everything with patience and took beautiful photos for us. The mangroves is a must visit. 10/10 recommend.

River Safari

Our river safari in Bentota was an absolutely brilliant experience and a true highlight of our trip. A big part of what made it so special was our guide, Coca, who was exceptional from start to finish. His knowledge of the river ecosystem was impressive, and he had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife—we would have missed so much without him. Thanks to Coca, we were able to see monitors, crocodiles, snakes, and monkeys up close in their natural habitat. Beyond his expertise, Coca was also warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and made every effort to help us capture the best possible photos, which we really appreciated. If you're considering a river safari in Bentota, I can’t recommend it enough—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Coca as your guide. It was an unforgettable experience!

A tour is only as good as its guide.

The tour is only as good as it's guide, and our guide Coca was excellent. Lots to see. Feed the monkeys, see the Water Monitor's, crocodiles and Birdlife. I definitely recommend this as a thing to do in Bentota.
