Fantastic, expert guide, personalized service - We had a great guide. We saw slender loris close up, and saw a mouse deer. The tree house accommodation is fabulous, right in the jungle canopy. Saw lots of other wildlife too. The food and service are excellent.

Great night lotus safari tour - Super excited to go on this tour to see this elusive little animal. My naturalist guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and we managed to see some adult lorises and babies. Saw some other wildlife, too, including some birds and a snake ( not to worry as it wasn’t deadly). The tour was so worth it - highly recommended and would go back again. A big ‘thanks’ to the naturalist for a wonderful tour.

Highly recommend - We had a brilliant experience. Initially we didn’t see any loris but our fantastic guide kept leading us way past our expected end time to make sure did get to see some and in the end we saw four loris. They are super cute. We also saw and heard other wild life during the walk. We all throughly enjoyed it - one of the many highlights of our whole trip. Highly recommend. (Note to add the organisers really care about protecting the species and invest in their preservation)

Great for loris! - For the purpose of the tour (loris viewing) this is 5-stars. We ended up seeing 7+. Views are often quick, but the naturalist and guide did well to ensure everyone in the group got to see them.
As an overall tour I would rate it 4-stars. I would have liked more information about some of the other animals seen - this would be more specific to just a "night walk". My background is partially in Zoology, so I have interests in all organisms. The other minor detail is providing better red lights - the one I had only went a short distance making it nearly impossible for me to spot anything beyond ten feet away.

Very nice experience in sigiriya, I recommend! - Very cool nice experience - walking in the nature at night looking for lorises. There were 2 local guides with me who were super nice and professional. The loris is night creature and during the tour you try to get a glimpse of them with the experience of the local guide. It was hard for me at first to see them as they are hiding in the trees however I did had the fortune of having a real good view of one. I do recommend wearing long pant and insect repellent. Give it a go while you stay the night at Sigiriya area!

What an experience - I booked the night hike without dinner. They will organize transport to the meeting point upon request. There were three of us in the group. Thusitha, our guide, gave a presentation about the lorises. Then we set off, walking through the jungle with red light lamps. The atmosphere was great and the sounds were amazing. We were lucky and were able to see four Loris. We were out for about an hour. Highly recommended tour! Back of Beyond are committed to preserving the jungle and so it's great to support them by booking the tour. A good camera and zoom is required for good photos without flash.

Not to be missed experience - The guide Thusitha and colleague were excellent, wonderful knowledge and passion for this strange and endangered little animal. We saw 5 Loris and really enjoyed the jungle. They also had lots of information and knowledge about all birds and animals. A great experience.would highly recommend it.

Incredible Night Tour Experience - I did the Grey slender Loris tour with dinner included. Can’t recommend enough. The guides were very well educated. We had a very informative presentation and a delicious dinner before going out on our tour.
What makes this place great is they put great effort into protecting the Loris through a few different initiatives.
I had the most incredible time and I will certainly be back. All the best to the Back of Beyond team! You helped make my visit to Sri Lanka great!
