“We booked our Yala National Park Safari trip with Hanas from Arugam Bay to Yala. It was an excellent experience! We had a chance to see all amazing animals on this Wildlife Safari including leopards, we could feed elephants on our way there, as the guys were flexible and we could stop anytime we wanted. The vehicle was also big enough for our luggage and the drop off was flexible so we could chose Mirissa as our next destination. This Safari Arugam Bay was the highlight of our trip to Yala National Park.”
“Hanas is really knowledgable about the national parks in Sri Lanka. I went on two safaris in Kumana with his company. As someone who has been on a lot of safari drives in other countries I really appreciated the driver’s spotting, allowing time for photos and being quick to react which meant i got to see a sloth bear in the wild! Personally i preferred kumana over yala. Arugambay Agenda was also available to set up taxi transfers between hotels for me, islandwide.”
“Een geweldige lagoon safari pottuvil gehad met Rishi. Dit is echt een van de beste arugam bay things to do. Hij is een ongelofelijk enthousiast persoon die met veel interesse alles uitlegde tijdens deze boat safari in sri lanka. Kon zeer goed engels, maakte af en toe wat grapjes en heeft ons zelfs van leuke foto’s en video’s voorzien. Absoluut aan te raden, als je van een rustige en ontspannende pottuvil lagoon tour wilt genieten. Wij vonden dit een fantastische pottuvil lagoon safari! Danku Rishi voor de geweldige ervaring!”
“La gita di due giorni nelle Highlands, prenotata come Tour Ella da Arugambay, in compagnia di Hanas è stata semplicemente fantastica! È stato il miglior tour Sri Lanka che potessimo desiderare. Paesaggi mozzafiato, nuove esperienze (durian compreso!), cultura e spiritualità. Assolutamente una delle migliori cose da fare Arugambay ha da offrire. Tutto organizzato alla perfezione sia nell’itinerario sia nelle tempistiche, confermando l’eccellenza dei loro pacchetti di viaggio Sri Lanka e pacchetti turistici Sri Lanka. Hanas è un’ottima guida, ma soprattutto abbiamo trovato in lui un nuovo amico!”
“Un’esperienza meravigliosa con la nostra guida, Rishi. Questa è davvero una delle migliori arugam bay things to do (cose da fare a Arugam Bay)! Ci ha spiegato così tanto sulla flora e la fauna della laguna durante il nostro fantastico pottuvil lagoon tour ed è davvero affascinante. Abbiamo visto elefanti, innumerevoli uccelli e coccodrilli durante il lagoon safari pottuvil. Un’esperienza assolutamente da non perdere!! Dovete prenotare questo incredibile boat safari in sri lanka / pottuvil lagoon safari solo con ARUGAMBAY AGENDA… IL MIGLIORE IN ASSOLUTO!!!”
“¡Increíble la clase de cocina en Arugam Bay! Estuvo delicioso y lo pasamos muy muy bien mientras hacíamos la preparación de los platos. Todo además muy higiénico y los chicos que trabajaron ahí eran muy muy amables. Sin duda, esta experiencia de clase de cocina es una de las mejores cosas que hacer en Arugam Bay. ¡Lo recomendamos 100% para cualquiera que busque tours en Arugam Bay y actividades en la zona de Arugam Bay!”
“The team at Arugam Bay were so helpful with getting us booked onto the safari quite last minute! This tour is easily one of the best things to do in Arugam Bay. The half-day safari at Kumana National Park was amazing. It truly ranks among the best arugam bay attractions and top places to visit arugam bay. We saw lots of animals including elephants, birds, buffalo’s and a leopard! Definitely count this among your essential arugam bay visiting places and arugam bay activities.”
“Wir hatten zwei tolle Safaris mit unseren Kids! Das war eine der besten Arugam Bay Aktivitäten. Auf der Half Day Safari konnten wir einen Leoparden, eine badende Elefanten Familie, Krokodile, seltene Vögel, ein Wildschwein, sehr viele Elefanten, Büffel und viele andere Tiere sehen. Besonders schön war es an den Wasserlöchern! Die Boot Safari in den Lagunen war einzigartig schön und zählt zu den Top Arugam Bay Attraktionen – besonders im Morgenlicht die badenenden Elefanten und Büffel zu beobachten. Wir waren das einzige Touristen Boot und dementsprechend war es auch besonders exclusiv. Dies sind tolle Arugam Bay Unternehmungen und absolute Orte, die man in Arugam Bay besuchen sollte. Absolute Empfehlung für alle Arugam Bay Sehenswürdigkeiten!”
“Excellent tour pour une balade matinale et paisible sur la lagune. C’est l’une des meilleures choses à faire à Arugam Bay. Le calme du matin, l’approche douce à la rame et la rencontre avec les pêcheurs et les animaux / oiseaux en font une très belle sortie que je recommande. Ce safari en lagune de Pottuvil est une expérience incontournable pour les amoureux de la nature, et un excellent safari en bateau au Sri Lanka. Le petit bonus de ce tour de la lagune de Pottuvil est le café en bord de plage dans la cabane de pêcheurs.”
“We did the Pottuvil Lagoon safari with a group of 10. This experience is truly one of the top arugam bay things to do! The communication was very clear, organisation very professional and everyone very friendly. For anyone looking for a top-tier boat safari in sri lanka, this lagoon safari pottuvil is a must. We would recommend this fantastic pottuvil lagoon tour!”
“The tour was really nice. It’s truly one of the top arugam bay things to do! Rishi is a fantastic person and a wonderful guide. He told with so much passion about the animals and the nature around us on the lagoon safari pottuvil. Also, the guy who rowed the boat for this great boat safari in sri lanka was super friendly and knew a lot about the lagoon. We would absolutely recommend this fantastic pottuvil lagoon safari/pottuvil lagoon tour.”
“Our afternoon Kumana safari was an unforgettable experience! We were looking for the best things to do in Arugam Bay and found this tour. Our driver picked us up from the hotel and knew exactly where to find the best wildlife. We spotted elephants, leopards, crocodiles, and more, making this one of the top Arugam Bay attractions! The tour was well-organized, and we highly recommend it for anyone exploring places to visit Arugam Bay has to offer in Sri Lanka’s national parks. It was the highlight of our Arugam Bay activities and a must-do among Arugam Bay visiting places!”
“It was a really good yala national park safari in the district 6 of the Yala National Park. We booked this tour from Arugam Bay to Yala. Few elephants, making it a great yala elephant safari, and two leopards spotted, definitely a top yala leopard safari! It felt really safe all the time. Hanas was our guide and did his best that we enjoyed the tour. In the price, ‘drop off to any place was included,’ so he dropped us off in Mirissa, which is a 3h drive from Yala. Choosing the yala national park from arugam bay option was really nice.”
“Great Safari experience in Arugam Bay! This was one of the best things to do in Arugam Bay. The jeep is big and comfy, and the driver goes above and beyond to ensure we get a close up and personal experience with the animals. We saw lots of elephants! Great quality for the price. This tour is truly one of the top arugam bay attractions and one of the best places to visit arugam bay. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for exciting arugam bay activities and visiting the arugam bay visiting places!”
Went to Kumana National Park and spotted leopards and elephants. The guide was very nice and professional and offered a coconut drink. Can highly recommend!
We had an amazing experience today at the safari. We spotted two leopards (an unforgettable experience), elephants and many other animals, well worth the money if you’re willing to wake up early!
I took a Kumana safari with Arugam Bay Agenda and initially thought of doing Yala later, but I skipped Yala because I got everything at Kumana with this tour. I saw a couple of leopards up close, a bunch of elephants, and many other animals throughout the trip. They took care of everything with no issues and made it so easy. If you are in Arugam Bay, I would highly recommend this tour for kumana or Yala with this company for an unforgettable experience.
Hanas and the team organised an amazing day in Kumana National Park. I went for the afternoon option and got to see many elephants, a leopard and hundreds of birds.
The driver knew exactly where to go, how to position the truck for the best photos and he spotted everything!
Great Comms from the team, easy to book and lots of helpful tips from Hanas on other areas of the bay and things to see and do!
Hanas and his driver took us on the most phenomenal safari – we were picked up and dropped off at our hostel, saw SO many amazing animals, Hanas shared lots of knowledge with us along the way. We feel so lucky to have had this experience!! Truly one of the most incredible days ever.
Very cool Tour organized by Hanas. We were able to see a lot of animals like bufallos, elephants, wild boar, crocodiles, eagles and other beautiful birds. The Highlight was to see two leopards. It was a great experience for us. I can recommend this Tour for everyone who wants to see wild animals in a beautiful national park without many people. We saw just 5 other Safari Jeeps in the whole afternoon Session. We have been to Bundala and Udawalawe but liked this Tour in Kumana Nationalpark the most.
What can i say – our Safaritour with Hanas was just great! The trip for itself was so cool and the talks we had with Hanas were really funny. The best was for sure the animals; we spotted some elephants, shakals, lizards, watterbuffels and many more. They really tried to find a leopard but we weren’t lucky, maybe we see them next time. Definetly recommend this agency! See you next time.
Hana’s organised a brilliant safari for us in Arugam Bay! We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel and had a great guide throughout who helped us to spot loads of animals and even a leopard! Unfortunately we didn’t see any elephants on the tour, but Hanas then arranged for a tuk tuk tour the following evening where we could see them in nearby Panama. Brilliant service throughout and definitely recommend!
The half day safari tour was a blast, we got to see so many animals. Our driver was on time, very friendly and very skilled wirh navigation in the offroad park to track the wildlife. He recommended a breakfast for us after the morning safari and the place was so cute and the food very good. Thank you for the perfect start in the day…
