Sinharaja Rainforest Tour - The tour time is from 8 am to about 3 or 4 pm, the whole journey is 7 or 8 kilometers. In the morning, the leader came to pick us up in a tuktuk car. After passing a small village, we entered the tropical rainforest, which is the forest reserve. We were all amazed at the leader's good eyesight. He helped us find many small animals along the way. We saw the frog-mouthed nighthawk and fiddle-headed lizard, which are unique to Sri Lanka, for the first time. There was even a huge lizard blocking our way and sleeping in the middle of the road. By the way, there are leeches. Before participating in this activity, I was a little worried. I was a little afraid that leeches would crawl on my body and suck blood. But in the end, I found that the worry was unnecessary. Before entering the forest, the leader helped us make some anti-leech preparations, such as tying long socks around the trouser legs and applying anti-leech soap on the shoes. I was not bitten throughout the whole journey. Finally, I am very grateful to the leader for his enthusiastic and patient explanation. We learned a lot about animals and plants. I was very happy to enjoy the lunch prepared by the leader by the waterfall. This is a very memorable experience.

Beautiful hike in Sinharaja rainforest - Since we were in Sri Lanka for the first time, we wanted to take the opportunity to visit a rainforest. We stayed in Galle, which was quite a few hours drive from the rainforest, but after all, it was totally worth it. We got up early and arrived at the meeting place after a few hours. There we were immediately introduced to our sympathetic guide (who was a biologist). Equipment was handed to us to start the trek safely. (Socks against leeches, packed lunch...) We started the hike and were amazed under job each time by the knowledge of our guide and the beautiful fauna and flora of this rainforest. We saw endemic reptiles, birds, monkeys, insects, plants etc. In the afternoon we took our delicious lunch, prepared by his wife, at a beautiful waterfall, and once our bellies were well filled, we could also seek refreshment in the water while the monkeys were playing in the trees around us. We have only good memories of this trip. Highly recommended!

Achi is awesome and the tour was AMAZING! - It was a wonderful experience of Sinharaja Rainforest. The guide was very good and helpful. He guided tour with beautiful vistas, informations on the flora and fauna. If you wanna get an amazing experience Achi is the best guide.

The only way to enjoy Sinharajah! - Lucky enough, as a VSO Volunteer, working in tea estates, nearby, to get to know the family well. No one knows, and understands and appreciates the forest better than they. My time was twenty years ago, for four amazing years. Not entirely comfortable with reptiles...and leeches...but no one handled encounters for me, better. I cannot speak hihghly enough for their knowledge, committment, and work. Outstanding Achintha, the new generation, was afine youngster, and, I know, has grown into the family tradition. None, know Sinharajah better.

Unforgettable day in Sinharaja Rain Forest - We spent a beautiful morning with our guide Achi. A very relaxing tour with lots of things to see. Achi is such a great guide and very knowledgeable. Many thanks!

The Best Tour in Sinharaja I had - This tour was a fabulous day out. Achi was OUTSTANDING! His knowledge was second to none. He is clearly passionate about the landmarks he showed me and goes above and beyond to gain and share his knowledge of them. In all of my travels, I truly rank Achi as one of my top tour guides. Thank you, Achi for everything!

Friendly, Knowledgeable Guide; Incredible Setting - Beautiful forest with so much to explore. Guide had great communication ahead of tour. Met me at the bus station and drove us straight to the forest. Friendly and knowledgeable about the forest itself and local history. Special interest in birds if that is something you're keen on. He helped me spot all kinds of wildlife and vegetation. We also had a lovely homemade lunch and swim next to the river, and then relaxed and watched a family of rare birds frolic around us. One of my most memorable afternoons on my trip to Sri Lanka.
