Beautiful hike with Sana - Sana was great! Very considerate, talkative and fun. I actually kept on going for a day tour, which was a bit too much driving around for me but Sana made this also into a good experience after all.

Worthwhile trip with breathtaking views - Our Guide Jeewa was fantastic. He was very punctual, picking us up on time from our hotel and whizzing us off to the beautiful Ella rock. He provided us with some head torches which were super handy for making the way up the dark path which felt like a real adventure. Jeewa was full of knowledge and told us some very interesting information about the local area and helped us to identify all the different fruits and vegetables that were being grown. We were lucky in that he took us past all the crowds at the top of Ella Rock to a breathtaking view point where we were able to watch the sun rise. On making our way back down, the views were incredible and it felt like a whole new adventure. Once reaching the bottom, we were treated to a stop off at a local cafe for a wonderful refreshing cup of tea. On top of all this, Jeewa is a fantastic photographer and captured some amazing photos of the two of us. I would highly recommend this trip - thank you :)

Great hike - Jeewa arrived promptly at 4am, we drove to the start point and then I was given water, a snack and a head torch as it was pitch black. We made our way up the rock - definitely needed a guide as there are no signs and no obvious path - we had time to stop for breaks and arrived with plenty of time for the sunrise, which was beautiful. Jeewa told me many interesting facts about the area, as well as Sri Lanka in general. Afterwards we went for a cup of tea and roti and then back to my hotel, all before 9am.

A climb that is well worth the view!! - Jeewa our tour guide was very knowledgeable and caring to make sure we were all having a good time and felt safe as we hiked up the Ella rock in the dark with torches! The climb up is strenuous at parts but the views at the top are fully worth it!! It is a thrilling experience... Thank you Jeewa!

Breathtaking views - An amazing experience with our guide Jeewa… few hours of hike up on the rock with such breathtaking views and so much rich vegetation. Jeewa was very friendly and knowledgeable on a variety of local things including the fauna and flora of the country. He was very helpful and made the 2h30 climb so interesting. Worth doing this memorable tour. Thank you.

Amazing tour! Can definitely recommend! - The tour was beautiful and our guide Jeewa was so nice. He told us about history, plants and animals on our way up and down. We also stopped by the cutest place and got some traditional food after the hike. Jeewa even got some fresh sugarcane for me i could take home. Can definitely recommend! This is a must when visiting Ella.
