Kandy & Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage Day Trip from Negombo

My daughter always wanted to have closer look at elephants, it was a great chance to do so while visiting Sri lanka. Trip little long but worth the experience.

Great, saw a lot of Sri Lanka towns and countryside in a day.and got back to Negombo in time for dinner and the friendly driver did a great job in the traffic and bendy hilly roads. The elephant sanctuary also charges about £20 for a one hour guided experience with a bit of interaction with easter adult elephants too tame to feed themselves The Temple of the Tooth charges about £5 It’s cooler in hill country and you see railway , makers , tea factory and old colonial buildings

I had so many wonderful memories thanks to the very kind and responsible guides, the powerful movements of the elephants I saw up close and cute Sunny I was impressed. They also searched for a card shop on the way and showed us around a delicious seafood restaurant for dinner. I'm very satisfied with that.

I'm very happy with the tour. There were some places that were closed, but our friendly guide patiently showed us some nice places to take their place. The power and cuteness of elephants you can touch up close is a sight you won't find in Japan. Thank you very much.

what a great day. anton our driver was magnificent. such a nice guy, really keen to ensure that we had a great experience. traffic was horrific and he coped with it with calmness and wit. ensured that we got to see and do everything that we wanted, including facilitating the usual commercial offerings (tea factory, spice museum, gem jewellery outlet) but absolutely without any pressure to go or then to buy. the experience with the elephants is a lifetime memory. anton joined us on the visit to the temple and despite being a driver and not formal tour guide he shared his knowledge of the site and helped make sure we saw all of the highlights. good value, highly recommended!

We have enjoyed a lot on our vacation And we have been on 2 days thereshashi is our guide and and he is very friendly and very talkative

Me and my family visited Sri Lanka for the first time in August 2024 and Real Lanka Holidays were booked for our transfers to and from the airport. We also booked a few trips with them to view different places in Sri Lanka like Kandy, Yala National Park and Sigiriya and Dambulla. Real Lanka Holidays were amazing throughout our time in Sri Lanka they went above and beyond in providing an experience of a lifetime. We saw so much of Sri Lanka and made sure we were all okay and even my mum who is 66 years old they made sure she was able to see everything with us. All of the tour guides that we had were friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about all of the locations. They really made the trip very memorable and I couldn’t recommend them more to anyone that is visiting Sri Lanka they are the best company to show you around.

I would really recommend Premil and Real Lankan holidays. We did the 2 day Kandy/ Pidurangala and Minneriya park safari. Communication was really good in arranging the trip and was also a very good price. As it was a private tour with just our family we chose with guidance provided as to what we did and see, which were some great places to visit. A big thank you to our guide Nillanka; as nothing was too much trouble for him and he went out of his way to look after us.

Quite a bit of driving but the car was comfortable and the diving was good. Feel like there was a miscommunication between trip advisor and the travel company as the time was different and didn’t go to the elephant orphanage, I kept getting different trip titles. Premil my travel guide was great. We gone on very well and it made the trip so much fun. I had a great day!

Very good day trip. Peumal is very time-punctuate, considerate and kind. The car is very comfortable and good size. Trip is well organised and i ll def recommend anyone needed a day trip. Good work👍
