Good weligama tours fill up in season here and the best ones fill up first. Below are the 15 to look at, with current prices and what makes each one different.
Air-conditioned pickup, a 3-hour Jeep safari in Yala, and a pro English-speaking guide. Spot leopards, elephants, birds, and more.
“It was amazing! Our driver Tikiri, tried everything to make sure we saw all the animals, but sadly they were a bit scarce as it had rained a lot the night before. It is a truly amazing experience and highly recommended!”
Learn to surf in Weligama with hands-on coaching, a chill crew, and a mindfulness-friendly vibe. 1.5 hours for $20.
“I highly recommend this surf school. Very good and helpful guys. Fun lessons and a great atmosphere. Great for learning. I will definitely come back. 🤙🏻🤙🏻”
Udawalawe safari from southern Sri Lanka, with wild elephants by jeep plus Elephant Transit Home feeding stops at set times.
“We went on safari for first time on this island and that was GREAT EXPERIENCE!! Everything was amazing I even like Udawalawe safari more than Yala, I got much more positive emotions with it. The only problem was crazy european women that came with child on safari that was awful. This woman complained and whined the entire trip that her husband didn’t have enough space on the bus. You should ban bringing children on safari — it’s very nerve-wracking and prevents people from fully enjoying the experience.”
12-hour Ella day trip from Galle and nearby beaches: temple, Ravana Falls, Uva tea, Nine Arch Bridge train, zipline, Little Adam’s Peak.
“Suresh was an amazing tour guide, he was very knowledgeable about all the sights he took me to. Suresh showed up on time, to ensure we got to the places at a good time. For lunch he brought me to a really good restaurant that was not expensive. He took me up the mountain and we got some really good pictures. After the tour was over he made sure we got back at a decent time. I did not feel rushed , and I enjoyed everything. Thank you Suresh.”

“Wir hatten einen tollen Surflehrer, er hat alles verständlich erklärt und einem immer Tipps gegeben wie es besser klappt! ☺️”
Door-to-door transfer from Mirissa, Weligama, Galle, Tangalle, or more, then a Yala safari trip to reach Ella.
“We werden opgepikt in onze verblijfplaats in Mirissa. De rit naar de jeep was snel (maar voor mijn wagenziekte erg misselijkmakend). De driver was erg lief en ging langzamer rijden. De safari was prima, het was kort, maar te verwachten. Sasanka was onze driver van de safari. Hij vertelde veel bij de dieren en was erg meedenkend. Omdat je maar kort de tijd hebt, gingen we snel langs alle dieren, maar dat is helemaal logisch.”
8-hour Yala Jeep safari from Galle and nearby beaches, with a guide chasing leopards plus elephants, crocodiles, and birds in one trip.
“The day started off well despite the early morning. Arriving at the park at sunrise was beautiful and we saw lots of smaller animals on the way into the park. Our guide was enthusiastic about trying to spot a Leopard and was able to locate one high in the trees. However, after an unnecessary break, it seems like he was keen to just drive the singular road out despite us not having seen any elephants. It was extremely disappointing to arrive at the exit and hear ‘sorry about the elephants’. He also wasn’t very informative about the types of animals we were seeing or any other information as we were…”

Ella day trip from the south coast with temples, waterfalls, Nine Arch Bridge, a tea stop, Nil Diya Pokuna, and a zip line.

Jeep safari in Yala National Park from Hikkaduwa and Mirissa, English guide, 3-hour wildlife drive, hotel pickup, comfort.
“Je ne sais pas par où commencer. Le pick up à 2h40 du matin été pris en charge par un homme somnolant. Nous ne nous en étions pas rendu compte jusqu’à notre arrivée sur l’autoroute où des coups de freins et accélérateurs intenses, supplément coups de volants de dernière minute dans les virages se sont faits ressentir. Nous avons dû demander à plusieurs reprises s’il était en capacité de nous conduire à destination et avons fait de notre mieux pour le maintenir éveillé jusqu’à l’arrivée au parc. N’ayant aucune confiance en sa conduite, nous n’avons pas pu nous reposer avant le safari, ce qui a impacté la suite de notre…”
