No more nine arches - Let me start by saying that if you're only coming to Ella for the Nine Arches Bridge, tea factory or cooking class, you're missing out on the beauty of Ella and its mountain scenery. A day before my tour, Dinaku confirmed the schedule with me. I realized that I had mistakenly booked the tour for the wrong day, but Dinaku was prompt and efficient in fixing the issue. He arranged for Ranjie to be my tour guide. I had an amazing day with Ranjie! We went on a long walk and had an incredible conversation about Sri Lanka's history, economy, politics, and everything in between. But that's not even the best part! The landscape was absolutely breathtaking; it was like something out of a dream. And guess what? I even went for a swim outside of a pool right under the waterfall for the first time! But wait, there's more. We stumbled upon some wild peaches and even brewed our tea on a tea field. What an adventure! The price I paid was pretty transparent - no tourist shop, no hidden fees, just a flat rate that included the train ride, water, snacks, admission tickets, fantastic lunch, and tuk-tuk. So, if you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka, don't just stick to the beaches and resorts. There are breathtaking mountain views to explore, and Dinaku & Ranjie’s group can offer you an unforgettable experience.

Great day trip with beautiful views - I did the tour with Dinu hunting waterfalls. Great tour, something different from the standard tourist trail in Ella. It’s a moderate level trek, all downhill but some parts through the bush. Dinu is a great guide with lots of knowledge and taking care of everything from start to finish. Great lunch at the end to reward your hard work!

An unforgetable adventure - Amazing tour, stunning nature and a lot of suprises! An unforgetable adventure! I would highly recommend it to everyvody! Thanks to Dinu, my tourgiude :)

Amazing hike with the most well prepared guide! - Despite getting into a huge tropical rainstorm this was the best hike in our lives! Thanks to our guide Dinu we went off a beaten track and seen a true untouched Sri Lankan nature. We have walked through the forest and mountains, seen local villages and of course numerous waterfalls. Dinu shared so many interesting facts with us! On top of that he was definitely the most well prepared guide we have ever met. He had water, snacks, hot tea, all the medicines you might need and even beers! He took amazing care of us and gave us some many gifts (local snacks, handmade coconut tea cups, bananas grown by his family and so much more). This was overall an amazing experience which we can definitely recommend to anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

Best Guide ever! - The tour was very nice, but was not exactly what we expected from the description, so it took longer, than we planed. The hiking trail is bit rough, you should be defininetly in a good physical condition. But… it turned out to be a GREAT day by our tour guide Dinuka!!! Little suprises at many Spots, explaining everything and great ideas what else to see (Tea factory!) It makes such a difference, when you feel that someone loves his job. Thank you very much.
