Wonderful river safari and day trip to Galle

Published on Apr, 2025

What an amazing experience. The river safari was soo good. We fed the monkeys, saw a couple of crocodiles en route and got to hold a baby crocodile. Then off to turtle conservation where they look after the turtles so well. Went to the temple, the Galle Fort which are well worth visiting. The mask museum was excellent and we saw how they are made. Also visited a gem factory. I have always wanted to see stilt fishermen- they were great to watch. Thank you to our driver Dinesh and the guy who took us on river safari. Unfortunately didn’t get his name. Would 100 % recommend.

Highlight of the holiday

Published on Apr, 2025

Thank you Bentota Travel Mart for the highlight trip of the holiday, it was so memorable. Thanks firstly to Dinesh who drove the two of us for the day and took us to the various venues on the tour, he couldn't have been more helpful and even supplied us with umbrellas and a towel when it rained. The star of the show however was Samir who drove the boat for the safari up the Bentota river into the mangrove swamp. What an experience, we saw baby crocodiles, a water monitor, lizards, monkeys and assorted birds. How he spotted some of them I really don't know. He also cut coconuts for us to have a coconut water drink and peeled a pineapple with a machete for us to eat, I didn't see any other boats having that level of service. Despite the fact that it rained for most of the trip we wouldn't have missed it for anything.

A must do in Sri Lanka

Fantastic experience! Loved everything about our day. Pasindu was our travel guide. Collected us from our hotel and looked after us. Very knowledgeable. We visited a temple, mask museum, Tsunami museum and the turtle sanctuary. Would highly recommend. Delicious lunch too. Thank you so much Bentota Travel Mart

Great full day trip for adults and children

Published on Feb, 2025

Great full day trip we really enjoyed the different experiences offered and it was equally exciting for adults and kids

Amazing

Published on Jan, 2025

The first part of our trip was the river Safari, our guide was awesome and so knowledge. He helped make this part of our day amazing. We saw monkeys , water monitors, crocodiles, kingfishers and loads of other types of native animals. We then continued with a visit to a jewellery museum. The next visit was a Buddhist temple, this was breathtaking and so interesting learning all about this super religion.The next part was a visit to the traditional mask museum which was interesting but some of the masks were quite scary. The next visit was the turtles conservation area where our guide told us about the five types of native species and how they help to maintain the current numbers. We then went for a delicious buffet lunch. The food was again awesome. We then visited the Tsunami museum which is still as heartbreaking today and it was 21 years ago, but to honour the lost and devastated survivors a must see. We stopped at Calle and visited the fort which was also fantastic to walk around.Our finally stop was the Stilt fishing which was brilliant . Overall this trip was worth every penny and great value for money. One last comment to our guide and driver Dinesh who was brilliant
