Even got to hook up my own Apple CarPlay and listen to some tunes along the way. Fernando our tour Guide And Hashini our tour consultant had everything on point all day we played some pool at a restaurant had some magnificent food. Had a private jeep for the day our driver was so much fun and very knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to get to see a wild elephant on entry to the park.. Fernando has a wealth of knowledge and was happy to answer all of our questions great English and easy to understand love to have a joke He even organised a surprise birthday cake for my wife when we got back after the Safari When we rebook, we would 100% use Fernando and the team again could not recommend any higher. Thank you for making our day a normal one that we will never forget.

Special day for my 40th
Had an amazing day out! After a hiccup in the morning, we got picked up from the hotel and personally chauffeured to our destination. Stopped along the way to break up the big drive. Made my 40th birthday a memorable one by getting to see a variety of animals, our tour guide Fernando and Tour consultant Ms hashini went above and beyond to make my day special, even organising a cake at the end of the day to celebrate my birthday. They had everything prepared and sorted for the day. This magical experience will never be forgotten. Would strongly recommend reaching out to the team and booking your next adventure, as we will be booking another one
Response from the operator: Dear Simone, Wishes for a fabulous and a fantastic Birthday to you ! Thank you very much for sharing your lovely experience with us !

An Amazing Sri Lanka Experience with Blue Lanka Tours
We had a wonderful experience with Blue Lanka Tours! Everything was well organized, and a special thank you to our coordinator Umaya for being so helpful, responsive, and professional throughout our trip. She made sure everything was arranged smoothly and was always available whenever we had questions or needed any changes or assistance. The team’s support made the whole experience much more comfortable and stress-free. She also went the extra mile to arrange a beautiful surprise for my friend’s engagement. We truly appreciated the effort and thoughtfulness from Umaya, Marcel and the team who made the celebration even more special. A very special thank you to our driver Marcel, who was absolutely amazing. He was extremely safe, patient, kind, professional, and always made sure we were comfortable. He went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable. I highly recommend Blue Lanka Tours, and if possible, definitely ask for Marcel as your driver you will be in the best hands! 🇱🇰❤️

Amazing
Exceptional agency. They have helped in preparing a full 9 days trip and managed to tailor it to what I requested. Nadeera was amazing and personally came to meet us at the airport, she was checking in on us through out the trip and special thanks to our guide Anton who was with us through all the 9 days and went beyond his work to always make us comfortable and happy. Also a big thanks to our driver that was with us through hour journies across this country. Thank you to the team and will definitely recommend and book again with them.
Response from the operator: Dear Miray, We are super grateful for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure arranging your trip, and we are thrilled that it created lasting memories for you. Anton is a well experienced and a talented gem in our team who is rich with knowledge and professionalism. We are delighted to hear that he managed everything seamlessly and provided valuable suggestions throughout the journey. He mentioned that you really enjoyed the Whale watching experience in Trincomalee, the lake round walk in Kandy and the Yala and Minneriya Safaris as well. The strong communication Lakshani maintained with both Anton and the operations team acted as a bridge, ensuring the itinerary was seamless and making your journey a great success. We are grateful that Blue Lanka Tours could be a part of your memorable experience, and we look forward to welcoming you again for more adventures in Sri Lanka.

All Inclusive Yala National Park Jeep Safari from Colombo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yala National Park.
How much does All Inclusive Yala National Park Jeep Safari from Colombo cost?
+
Prices start at $258 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yala National Park usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does All Inclusive Yala National Park Jeep Safari from Colombo take?
+
Plan for about 13 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 Yala National Park is not rushed.
Is All Inclusive Yala National Park Jeep Safari from Colombo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 73 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yala National Park, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule All Inclusive Yala National Park Jeep Safari from Colombo?
+
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 All Inclusive Yala National Park Jeep Safari from Colombo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book All Inclusive Yala National Park Jeep Safari from Colombo?
+
Around 26 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 Yala National Park 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 Yala National Park and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does All Inclusive Yala National Park Jeep Safari from Colombo 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 Yala National Park 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 Yala National Park?
+
On Outty we rank every Yala National Park experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full day Safari - Yala National Park - 04.30 am to 06.00 pm with - Janaka safari, Special leopard & Elephants safari - Yala - 04.30 am to 11.30 am, Full day / Half Day WildlifeAdventure in Yala-National-Park. 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 Yala National Park?
+
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 Yala National Park?
+
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.
