Great trip that provides good value for money. Really friendly driver who collected from our hotel. Comprehensive itinerary takes you to great locations. The highlights are the river safari and turtle hatchery, providing such amazing and memorable experiences. Unfortunately our vehicle experienced tyre issues but the driver remained calm, polite and apologetic, we were quickly transferred to a different vehicle to swiftly get us on our way again, we understand these things happen so reassured him we didn't mind. Our only recommendation to improve would be to receive some information on the history and story of the Galle fort instead of it just being a quick walk round by ourselves. Would highly recommend.

We enojoyed the whole day trip, but the river safari was for us the highlight of the day. Our river guide Harinda was very nice, very skillfull in finding the animals and explaining the jungle stuff. His excitement about the local nature and ability to describe the nature relations made it an unforgetable experience!

What an amazing trip that was. I had my 5 year old with me and he had a blast, too. From start to finish. The safari trip is just mind-blowing and the rest of the activities, too. So many things to see and experience. Thanks to Benton’s Travel Mart, I didn’t have to think of anything- just ride along and enjoy. They are super punctual, they pay attention to details and go above and beyond to meet your expectations and fulfill extra wishes and demands. Highly highly recommend them. Don’t even think twice. We had a blast! Thank you, Sam and everyone!
