Waterfall Abseiling & White-Water Rafting Adventure from Kandy

The abseiling was fun and felt very safe. The equipment they used was reliable, and the team’s instructions were clear and easy to follow. The waterfall is beautiful, and the view from the top is fantastic. The white water rafting was also great, and it’s something anyone can do—I even saw kids enjoying it with big smiles. I really liked this tour because it’s all-inclusive, including transportation from Kandy and all the activities. You can pay extra to try ziplining, but we skipped it. The waterfall abseiling and rafting were more than enough for us. I definitely recommend this tour!

We had an amazing day in Kitulgala. Lahiru and our driver, Asanka, picked us up from our hotel at 7:30 a.m. and drove us to Kitulgala, where all the adventures take place. The abseiling was incredibly fun and felt very safe. Even during the dry season, the waterfall had plenty of water. The setup was secure, and we had a great instructor who guided us through the entire process. After the abseiling, we spent a few extra minutes relaxing and dipping in the natural pool. The tuk-tuk ride to the waterfall took about 45 minutes, which added to the experience. We then went rafting on the Kelani River. We had a private boat and an excellent guide who taught us everything we needed to know. It was both safe and exciting. We also saw the bridge used in The Bridge on the River Kwai, which was a nice bonus. This tour was especially exciting for us because it was our first time trying rafting and waterfall abseiling. We also did ziplining (for an additional cost), which was worth it. Lunch was included and delicious. I requested a vegetarian option, and the restaurant was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this tour!

We booked a white water rafting and waterfall abseiling tour with Skyhaven Tours. The pickup from our hotel in Kandy was smooth, and the drive to Kitulgala was comfortable. First, we did the waterfall abseiling. The road to the waterfall is a bit narrow and bumpy, so you'll need to take a tuk-tuk to get there, but it’s definitely worth the ride. The view from the waterfall is spectacular. The abseiling setup was excellent, and the safety measures were top-notch. The instructors provided clear instructions and made sure we felt comfortable. They also took some amazing photos from different angles. Next, we went white water rafting on the famous river where scenes from the movie The Bridge on the River Kwai were filmed. The rafting guides were fantastic, and we felt completely safe the entire time. After the adventure, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a riverside restaurant. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone staying in Kandy who’s looking for an exciting and adventurous day out.
