Sri Lanka Tour
Ella Adventure & Yala Safari Day Tour
1 Day · 7–10 travelers · Pickup 3:30 a.m.
The ultimate one-day Sri Lankan adventure, combining the misty beauty of the hill country with the thrill of a real wildlife safari. Your morning unfolds in Ella: the spray of Ravana Falls, the world-famous scenic train ride through rolling tea country, a walk across the colonial-era Nine Arch Bridge, and a hike up Little Adam's Peak for jaw-dropping panoramic views — plus a Ceylon tea tasting and playful monkey feeding along the way. The contrast between cool mountain air at dawn and the wild southern plains by afternoon is pure Sri Lanka.
In the afternoon you head south for a jeep safari in Yala National Park, scanning the jungle and lagoons for elephants, leopards, sloth bears and crocodiles with expert local trackers. It is a big, action-packed day starting at 3:30 a.m., but with comfortable transport, safari jeep, entrance fees and guide all arranged, you just enjoy the ride — one postcard moment after another. From $120 — two Sri Lankan icons in one day, book now.
