    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.

    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.

    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!

    This was a lovely and interesting way to find out more about the wildlife in Sri Lanka. The guide was very knowledgeable, committed to conservation and sensitive to limiting the impact of the tour on the animals. We saw loris on 7 or 8 occasions, sometimes just a pair of eyes peering out from the trees and twice a clear view of the animals climbing.through the canopy and catching insects. We were in a group of four plus the guide and an expert spotter, which worked really well.

    Can’t recommend this highly enough. My partner and I went for the option with dinner included and it was great. The place is a conservation project we’re they put money towards buying land that has been turned into empty farmland and re-wilding it, giving new habitats for local wildlife. They told us how they have built to minimise their impact on the local environment. The tour was great with multiple slender loris and even a wild jungle cat. Afterwards we had barbecued food in the jungle lit by candles and lamps, cooked right there. Was one of the best meals I had had all holiday.
