Bentota River River Bentota, the legendary river in southern part of the country, flows into the Indian Ocean forming a lagoon at the last section of the river. The River Bentota and the lagoon set up the widest array of water sports among all the beach resorts of Sri Lanka. It has an amazing bio-diversity with all to be experienced within walking distance. Bentota River is more popular and well known for the tourists for witnessing crocodiles in their wild habitat as well as witnessing the amazing aquatic species, fauna & flora of the Bentota River.
A dominating statue of the Buddha is the first thing you see as you approach the Kande Viharaya. Set on an 18th century hilltop temple, this 160 feet tall statue of the Buddha sitting cross-legged is believed to be one of the tallest in the world. The temple was originally discovered in 1734 and has since been a significant site for worshippers and is known to be one of the most sacred temples on the island. Within the sacred premises, you’ll find a Stupa. a 300-year-old Bodhi Tree that sits in the garden, a Relic Chamber; the oldest structure within the sacred site, the Upulvan Devalaya and other temples including Kataragama and Pattini Devalaya.

This was one of our favourite things to do. We went with a small local company. Our tok tok driver took us there and it was just the two of us on a boat travelling through the mangroves. Thetr didn’t seem like there was a lot at first but then we saw alligator baby, alligators andKingfisher, Monitor lizards, white frogs, green frogs and to top it all the most priceless thing was the monkeys. They all come out of the trees and took food from our hands with their babies. just couldn’t buy the experiences you’ve got to go and see it yourself
The tour was really great. The guides were knowledgable, friendly and really caring. The only thing that could be better would be the use of electric engines with boats during the river safari. It would help cut down on noise and air pollution, which would prevent the animals from being scared away and improve the air that the passengers have to breathe - which really consisted of lots of fumes.
We had an absolutely amazing day, our driver was excellent. The river boat tour was really good, we saw many animals thanks to our guide. We especially enjoyed the temple, it was very beautiful and an honour to take part with the warm and friendly community. Overall a great introduction to this wonderful country
Where to begin! From start to finish it was wonderful, Sam organised everything for us and Dinesh our driver was so kind and sweet and waited for us at each stop. We started with a River Safari where we saw crocodiles, monkeys (with one peeing on my sister, a memory that will last forever), birds, lizards and more. We then went to a gem museum and from there went for a delicious lunch! The food was the best we have had since being here. After lunch we went to see the Sea Turtle Conservation which was something we will remember forever. Lastly we went to a Tea Factory where we learnt so much abut tea and the making of it. Thank you so so much to BTM for organising such a fabulous day out, we have created memories that we will cherish forever. One recommendation; we suggest brining some smaller and larger notes to tip if you want to. Thank you, Emma and Katie
Our trip started at 7.30 am. Sam from BTM organized everything and we were able to add what we wanted to see and what not. Dinesh our driver was of course very punctual again and drove us to the bentoto river. Our river guide Sumnl was already waiting for us. Sumnl can speak English very well and is very friendly. He has a tiger eyes and sees animals we would never have seen. In the middle of the safari he stopped and cut us a fresh golden coconut that we could drink and a fresh pineapple for eat. Both were just delicious!! On the river trip we stopped with someone he knew who had rescued a baby monkey when his mother died and a small crocodile, both of which he is releasing when they are old enough. After that we stopped by a tree there were a lot of monkeys, just a dream. We saw a few animals and the river landscape was just indescribable. Thank you dear Sumnl for the great river safari! After that we were in a garden looking at cinnamon, aloe vera and something more. It was great but in the end it wasn't the best of the day. That's why our great driver Dinesh drove us to the temple with the huge Buddha, that was very impressive. He even had clothes for us because you are not allowed to wear short dresses. And in the end we weren't hungry and were able to skip lunch spontaneously and went straight on to Turtle Care at Santha Ferando's. It was just impressive what they do and help for the Turtles! You are doing a great job! Thank you for the great impressions! The excursion can only be recommended and if there is something you would rather not do, you can say so and the day will be designed in such a way that you are simply satisfied at the end. I would book with BMT again! You're just doing it brilliantly!

Very nice visit, the only downside the lack of English of the driver/guide who therefore did not give us an explanation during the visit of the temple. For the rest it was a very beautiful day, beautiful animal encounters, beautiful flora and fauna, beautiful human encounters at the tea plantation and turtle reserve, just like our river guide, TOP Bentota Travel Mart is very pro

We had an amazing tour in Bentota Village with river safari. It was great fun for a full day for me and my friends. The tour is packed with well chosen activities and the river safari is impressive. Also we had a very delicious and rich lunch at a local house near the lake. If we wouldn t have chosen this trip, it would have been a big loss for our vacation. Bentota Travel Mart agency is highly professional, I was extremely impressed by the level of engagement of the tour organiser, he was highly flexibile and went far and beyond to make us happy. I totally recommend choosing any trip with these guys!

We did Bentota Village tour and Tutel Hatchary , River safari and cultural experience was so amazing. I also did scuba diving and also our Airport transfer was arranged by Bentota Travel Mart. Highly recommended Bentota Travel Mart for anyone who wants professional travel services in Bentota.
