- What Our Customers Say -
Awesome guide, super friendly and knowledgeable, showed us around for hours and allowed us all the time we needed for the tricky pictures with my fancy camera, attached some less spectacular shots on my phone. Many birds, bats and monkeys are what stuck with me.
It was great experience and price is reasonable, we went with driver sumudu he is nice and kind gives time to take pictures, explains everything. The owner is a great guy, he is very kind and he dropped us till bus halt. You should definitely go for buddhi boat safari.
Buddhi Boat Safari - is managed by Mr. Buddhi - He is an all-rounder and fair service provider. Don’t worry about the service. They ensure a complete service and cover all the attraction points. Their charges are reasonable and fair
