I highly recommend using apple vacations agency when you visit Sri Lanka! They offer a wide range of tours and packages to fit a variety of budgets. Our guide Niraveen and driver were on time and accommodating. This full day tour was lovely and enjoyable! Loved visiting the turtle hatchery center, the boat ride through the mangrove, and the place they took us for lunch was superb! Really trustworthy company!

The guide showed up on time in the morning and he was very polite and informing. They took us to a very nice restaurant for lunch near the ocean and the food was delicious. Whole tour was satisfying with very nice views, herbal garden visit and boat tour on Madu River.

Our driver CJ was friendly,the car nice and clean and he sure knows his island well. He had all the answers to our questions. The highlight of the tour is definitely the boat ride (which is not included). Everything was organised perfectly and we got first class treatment. For lunch he dropped us at a nice restaurant at the beach. Very good food, but you can expect tourist prices. Sure we could have asked to go to another place. Very flexible and easy going. Same later on at the Fort in Galle. Nice views and a lot of interesting history there. The only thing that we skipped was the Turtle hatchery (entry not included) which turned out to be just an ordinary aquarium with sharks and some other sea animals as we arrived there. We expected something different. In my opinion this is especially made for tourists and kids. I mean, the whole building is a giant turtle. Overall it was a great day and we got a lot to see on our way.
