Cycle Galle’s lagoon and village lanes on an easy 12 km ride, with a local guide, wildlife stops, and coconut and handloom factories.
“Great little cycling tour of the lagoon and villages along the way. Good guide who took his time to explain the local wildlife and flora”
A 10 km guided mountain bike loop through Anuradhapura’s UNESCO sacred sites, with water, bike use, and vegetarian lunch included.
“Saranga was an amazing guide ! He shared history of the sites that we visited of course but the cherries on the cake for me were his bouddhism experience and wisdom, the tour in quiet areas in the middle of rice fields and the lunch… I would never be so fulfilled by doing it on my own. I would vote for a full day trip :)”
Cycle Galle Fort from Unawatuna on a small-group tour with an expert guide, e-bike or manual options, and UNESCO sights.
“Booked directly rather than through trip advisor - why pay their commission! $40 for push bikes or $70 for very advanced e-bikes which were more like scooters. My wife was nervous enough about the traffic so elected for push bikeRead more”
Bike through Ella tea hills from Siloam, stop at Nine Arches Bridge and Demodara viewpoints, then finish with tea and spice.
“Charasmatic and energetic guide trying to please. However the tour as advertised was 3 hrs (was 2) Gave us water (got none) Stopped for tea (did not) Saw 9 arches bridge (did not - until we pushed) There were some track issues since the cyclone but the changes need to be communicated. (Bikes also badly in need of a service) Still had some fun - don’t write them off just communicate with them at the start.”
