Loris walk was great , food was good
Getting back was a nightmare . Plan carefully ideally get them to arrange a pick up at the end of the. They suggested to us to use PickMe . No availability.
The walk back to hotel is about 55 minutes not a problem except Road is dangerous and unlit and there is risk of elephants. About an hour after end of trip we managed to get an uber driver to get us.
It’s a great little trip but be more sensible than us and sort your transport before .

Important: do not go...
IMPORTANT: Do not go to the meeting point by bike, by motorcycle, and if possible not alone, because the road is in the dark and passes through the middle of the forest, where elephants can cross.
That said, the activity is structured with a theoretical introduction to the loris led by a specialized naturalist, followed by a walk in the forest accompanied by two guides.
Although there are better activities, it was wonderful to be able to see these rare little animals in their natural habitat.
The staff is prepared and works to the best of their ability.
Recommended.

Wonderful loris tour
Very dedicated and likable guide. We saw some lorises and he can also organize a pickup from the hotel. Something special and you contribute to the protection of these wonderful animals.

We learnt so much!
What a great experience, run by such knowledgable and enthusiastic people. Our guides showed us a short info video while we sipped on a cooling juice, issued us with red light head torches, then led us on a night walk through the woods and fields, stopping now and again to search for the tiny primates in the bushes and treetops. We were luck enough to see a few - some just by the reflection of their eyes, others by their silhouettes against the night skies. A great experience.

Excellent Local Knowledge
Amazing experience from two local guides. We were fortunate enough to see 4 Loris as well as turtles and bird species.
Well worth doing for a short and fun evening activity!

Loris walking safari
We were greeted with a cool drink and 15 minute, thorough information session on the loris, held under cover. Clean, western toilets are available to use. After getting our red light head torches sorted, we set off on about a 1.5 km walk through forest, walking quietly in single file. This tour is at night, on uneven ground, through moderately dense foliage - you must wear covered in shoes and preferably long pants to avoid scratches from thorny bushes.
The loris is very small and elusive, however, we were very fortunate to spot a single, slender grey loris high up in a tree!
This was a magical experience that will be treasured!
The location of this tour is several kms out of Sigiriya and you are driving there at night on a dangerous road (possible elephant encounters), therefore, be organised with how you get out there and have your return trip to Sigiraya pre booked.

Good night plan
I liked the preview presentation where they provided information about the Loris and their behavior, then we took a walk in the woods to see them and although they are high in the trees they can be appreciated very well. The staff is very friendly and always answer all questions related to the Loris and other animals you cross, something to highlight is the responsible use of red light to not disturb the animals.

it’s fun and learn...
it’s fun and learn something new at the same time. i really enjoyed it and would recommend people to join if they visit Sigiriya. But make sure you arrange transportation in advance as some tuk tuk drivers may not want to drive at night time.

2 red eyes in the night
Very educational with explanations before going to the forest. Forest guides make every effort to see them even if this is not always evident.
