Disappointed
Very disappointed. Apart from some great scenery and viewing the waterfall there was no other sights on the trip. The tour started half hour late and the bus also broke down on the return to Ella and we had to wait for alternative transport to be taken back to town.
Response from the operator: Dear Sir, Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience. While we strive to provide a smooth and enjoyable tour, certain spontaneous breakdowns are sometimes unavoidable. We understand the inconvenience this caused and appreciate your patience. Your comments will help us improve.

The bus ride was very musically entertaining, and we took time to stop by the waterfall to take pictures and videos.
We did the tour at 4 pm and we had a wonderful tour guide, he took time to explain everything and wasn't in a rush to finish. He was very patient and kind and made the tour a very memorable experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with our guide. Hope to see you again soon!

Wish it was longer
Was called to see if we could do the morning time slot as it was meant to rain at 4. So we don’t that the following day instead. Despite being the only 3 people there they still continued the tour which was beautiful. Sandeepa was as funny and told us about different sights and locations. Let us know what was coming out and was able to answer any questions we had. We stopped off at some spots to take picture and take it all in. We then shooed at the waterfalls which where huge and again we was looked after by Sandeepa. Allowing us to take pictures and walk alongside the waterfall. Also taking pictures for us. Would definitely recommend as a fun tour and way to start the day.
Response from the operator: We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the flexibility with timing. It's great to hear Sandeepa made the experience both fun and informative. We’re happy you had a memorable time at the waterfall and hope to welcome you again soon.

A Breathtaking Ride to Remember
Ravana Odyssey offers an exceptional tourist experience with its Open Double Decker bus service in Ella. Despite initial doubts stemming from hearsay, our 7-hour journey (7,500/- LKR per person) with Ravana Odyssey exceeded all expectations. The breathtaking sceneries we encountered along the route left us in awe, and the kind and careful driver ensured we had ample opportunities to capture the beauty through photo stops. Our knowledgeable guide (Vimukthi) enriched the experience with insights into the history and significance of the landmarks we visited. What impressed us the most was the attention to detail and inclusivity of the package. All supplementary expenses, including boat rides (buduruvagala) and tuk-tuk rides (Elle Wala falls) were covered, eliminating any hassle. The provision of refreshments and thoughtful amenities like wet towels added to our comfort throughout the journey. The lunch served at the boat restaurant by Ravana Odyssey was a delightful culinary experience, showcasing authentic Sri Lankan flavors. Overall, our experience with Ravana Odyssey was nothing short of extraordinary. The driver and the guide went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment, making it a memorable adventure that seamlessly blends comfort and adventure. Compared to the exorbitant tuk-tuk prices in Ella, Ravana Odyssey offers a worthy alternative that promises both comfort and excitement.
Response from the operator: Dear Krishmal, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and insightful review of your experience with Ravana Odyssey! We truly appreciate your kind words. Your thoughtful review will undoubtedly help potential travelers considering our open-deck double-decker tour in Ella. Thank you once again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future!

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ravana Odyssey Hop on Tour Ella to Ravana Falls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ella.
How much does Ravana Odyssey Hop on Tour Ella to Ravana Falls cost?
+
Prices start at $9 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ella usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ravana Odyssey Hop on Tour Ella to Ravana Falls take?
+
Plan for about 1.7 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 Ella is not rushed.
Is Ravana Odyssey Hop on Tour Ella to Ravana Falls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ella, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ravana Odyssey Hop on Tour Ella to Ravana Falls?
+
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 Ravana Odyssey Hop on Tour Ella to Ravana Falls suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1.7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Ravana Odyssey Hop on Tour Ella to Ravana Falls?
+
Around 6 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 Ella 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 Ella and add a light layer if any part of the 1.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ravana Odyssey Hop on Tour Ella to Ravana Falls 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 Ella 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 Ella?
+
On Outty we rank every Ella experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Halpewatte Tea Factory Tour in Ella Sri Lanka, Halpewatte Tea Plantation Tour in Ella, Sri Lanka, Discover Ella - Ella Rock, Little Adam's Peak & Nine Arch Bridge. 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 Ella?
+
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 Ella?
+
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.
