    Amazing attention to detail displayed from these guys from booking to the entire experience! We were delighted!

    Please use this company to arrange your tour you will not be disappointed. We arranged this trip prior to leaving the UK and Sam went through every detail with me beforehand to make sure we had exactly what we wanted! His attention to the detail and finding us the best hotels he could or our stays to meet our needs was amazing. The trip itself was wonderful, we got to see everything we wanted and more along the way, our driver Janith was fantastic with us he was always on time, was there to meet us at the end of us doing something, he arranged everything.. it really was as stress free as you’d hope for yet we felt like we were on a real adventure ! These guys go out of their way to look after tourists and it was fabulous to hear about life in Sri Lanka as went through the various towns and areas ! 10/10

    The River safari in bentola...

    The River safari in bentola as well as the excursion to Yala, it was excellent. On the other hand, visiting places such as the jewelry store, the mask shop and the place of remembrance of the tsunami are a little too commercial for our taste. The driver was very nice and acceded to all our requests.

    Amazing trip

    We were amazed by this highly professional company that arranged for me and my friends a tailored itinerary. The objective chosen were amazing, they took care of every detail and even went extra mile to help us with things that were not part of the trip. I couldn ‘t express more gratitude for the tour operator who was incredibly nice and professional and helped us with everything we needed. Any trip you might choose with these guys, I am sure it will be great!

    Fantastic Customer Service

    Contacted few tour operators in Bentota to make a wils safari tour. Sam from Bentota Travel Mart responded quickly and professionally. Their tour plan explain each and every bit of details of the tour. After considering few other packges from different tour operators .we decided to sticked with Bentota Travel Mart and it was the best decision we made. They also had the option of paying via paypal which was the easiet way for us to pay . We did a two day trip to Yala and on our return , we witness Tea plantation , Stilt fishermen Galle Fort , Tsunami museum as well as Turtle hatchery. Also we did a evening Boat safari in Madu River . All in all it was an amazing experience which will be cherished for ever. Huge thanks to Bentota Travel Mart and Sam for organising such a wonderful tour. Also , special thanks to Lahiru our driver for make everything so simple and flexible. Very knowledgeable driver - guide. Highly recommended if anyone is around Bentota.

    3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hikkaduwa.

    How much does 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive cost?

    +

    Prices start at $495 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hikkaduwa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hikkaduwa is not rushed.

    Is 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Hikkaduwa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hikkaduwa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hikkaduwa and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hikkaduwa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Hikkaduwa?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hikkaduwa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Most Recommended Round Tour in Sri Lanka, Kayaking Adventure on serene waters through mangroves, Akurala, 7 Days Private Sri Lanka Tour With 4 Star Hotels, Safari & Ella. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Hikkaduwa?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Hikkaduwa?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive?

    +

    Included: Pick up & drop off; Bottled Water; Train Tickets - Pre Reservations Seats are Subject to Availability; Private Safari Jeep for Yala Safari Session; and All taxes, fees and handling charges. Not included: Gratuities; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2115 listed pickup locations in and around Hikkaduwa. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 3 Days Private Tour of Yala Safari/ Ella/ Kandy - All Inclusive if the weather is bad?

    +
