    An amazing unforgettable experience

    An amazing experience. Me & the wife had not been to any waterfalls before. Roshan was an amazing guide & the entire tour was well worth the price for the experience. I want to give a special mention to the lunch his wife prepared for us… extremely delicious! Thank you Roshan, your tour is greatly recommended!

    Roshans waterfall tour - Kandy

    Roshan was simply brilliant. The waterfalls tour was spectacular and he also added his own personality throughout as he's so passionate about nature too (showed us many plants, flowers and spices along the way) He's very professional, courteous, polite and above all super friendly & looked after us both so well. The lunch he provided by one of the waterfalls was simply unforgettable with such a personal touch ( & thanks for introducing us to jack fruit) Would 100% recommend Roshan specifically and the tour to anyone!! Loved every minute & would easily do this again!!

    Amazing experience

    This was one of the best days of our time in Sri Lanka so far! Guide was excellent, very knowledge and friendly. Traditional Sri Lankan lunch provided was delicious. Loved the stops for snacks, water and even a cup of Seylon tea at the end. Loved going into the Knuckles mountain range and being able to swim in the waterfall, the water was clean and we had plenty of time to relax in the water. Absolutely amazing experience.

    Book this fantastic day with Roshan!

    All the other reviews are thrue! Most fantastic day. Roshan picked us up on time. We loved every bit of it. The tuc tuc drive, to see the rice fields, the tea pantages, the viewing points, the snack stop, the fruit trees, the spices as we never saw before, the awesome waterfalls, the swimming, the yummie lunch .... it is to much to mention. Roshan was so patient and relaxed with us, answering every question and sharing his knowledge with us. Absolutly worth every penny 😁!

    A Perfect Day of Waterfalls, Nature, and Discovery in Kandy

    I had an absolutely fantastic time on the Kandy Waterfall Day Tour with Roshan. This was one of the highlights of my time in Sri Lanka. The waterfalls themselves were stunning, and getting to swim in one was an unforgettable experience. It wasn’t just about the scenery though. The journey along the way was just as special. Roshan shared so much knowledge about the local plants and spices, which made the entire day feel immersive and meaningful, not just a sightseeing trip. Roshan is a truly wonderful guide. He is knowledgeable, kind, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made the experience both fun and relaxed while also making sure I got the most out of every stop. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kandy. It is the perfect mix of adventure, nature, and local insight.

    kandy waterfalls day tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does kandy waterfalls day tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kandy usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does kandy waterfalls day tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Kandy is not rushed.

    Is kandy waterfalls day tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 120 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Kandy, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule kandy waterfalls day tour?

    +

    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 kandy waterfalls day tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book kandy waterfalls day tour?

    +

    Around 42 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 Kandy 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 Kandy and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does kandy waterfalls day tour 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 Kandy 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 Kandy?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kandy experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Kandy City Tour by Tuk Tuk, Tours and Transportation in Sri Lanka, Kandy City Tour By Best Guide Lanka Tours. 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 Kandy?

    +

    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 Kandy?

    +

    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 kandy waterfalls day tour?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Bottled water; Live entertainment; Snacks; and Lunch. Not included: Alcoholic drink. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does kandy waterfalls day tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Kandy.

    What languages is kandy waterfalls day tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Korean and 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 kandy waterfalls day tour?

    +

    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.

    What happens to kandy waterfalls day tour if the weather is bad?

    +
