    It was interesting but not well-planned

    Our guide picked us up at 6 am and it took about 2 hours to drive to the park. This was fine with us, as we thought we had a full day of activities ahead of us. The tour description says a safari, lunch and then a visit to an elephant orphanage to see the elephants feeding etc. We arrived at the park at around 830 am and started our safari. After 3 hours we were extremely hot and exhausted. We were on our way back to the main gate to finish the safari when our guide "realized" the elephant orphanage does not open until 2:30. We had three hours. He then decided we would do more safari, even though we had been outside already in 35 + degrees for 3 hours. We said no we need to use the bathroom. We had to say it 2 or 3 times before he took us back. Then he says we can go for lunch but that then we have to wait 2 hours for the elephant orphanage. When we got to the lunch spot, my partner and I decided to cancel the rest of the day and ask the driver to take us home. It was not worth sitting around for 2 hours in the heat. The part that confuses me is the guide acted surprised that the elephant orphanage didn't open until 2:30. If you are doing this regularly is that not something you would know? Could you not plan the day so there are no three hour gaps between activities? In the end, he was abke to get the full price of the tour when we only did half the activity. The park is interesting but the day was too disorganized for us.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking your valuable time and commenting. I'm very sorry if I failed to identify your feelings and provide the service as expected. I had no intention of committing a fraud and tried to give more than what was mentioned. This idea is very valuable to maintain our services to a high standard and we look forward to seeing you again.

    Highly recommend a visit- real elephant care and welfare

    The trip from Columbo was quite a way but it was so worth it. We had a great guide in Gayan. The national park is situated in an amazing location and we saw so many elephants really close up and in their natural habitat. It was breathtaking. We then visited the Elephant Transit (orphanage). This is a really well run ethical place and they rehabilitate elephants back into the wild when they are about 4 years old. It was great seeing them arriving for their milk. There were about 50 young ones. You might also spot a much older elephant that they take care of. He had part of his leg blown off by a mine. This is a great place to visit. You will be really moved by what you see.

    Response from the operator: greetings from Harasara Tours Thanks for writing us such a wonderful review on Tripadvisor. We are eagerly looking forward to the pleasure of welcoming you back again

    A Udawalawa Park safari, Tour from Colombo/Galle- (All inclusive): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does A Udawalawa Park safari, Tour from Colombo/Galle- (All inclusive) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $198 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Galle usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does A Udawalawa Park safari, Tour from Colombo/Galle- (All inclusive) take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Galle is not rushed.

    Is A Udawalawa Park safari, Tour from Colombo/Galle- (All inclusive) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Galle, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule A Udawalawa Park safari, Tour from Colombo/Galle- (All inclusive)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is A Udawalawa Park safari, Tour from Colombo/Galle- (All inclusive) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book A Udawalawa Park safari, Tour from Colombo/Galle- (All inclusive)?

    +

    Around 2 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 Galle 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 Galle and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does A Udawalawa Park safari, Tour from Colombo/Galle- (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 Galle 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 Galle?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Galle experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full day / Half Day WildlifeAdventure in Yala-National-Park, Special leopard & Elephants safari - Yala - 04.30 am to 11.30 am, Sea waves sri lankan cooking class. 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 Galle?

    +

    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 Galle?

    +

    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.
