Review of Bentota River Safari, a two-hour private mangrove cruise with crocodiles, monkeys, birds, hotel pickup, and fresh tropical fruit.

“Great experience, highly recommended! Communication was great from start to finish. We were collected promptly from our hotel by our guide Nihal who was fantastic & very knowledgable about the area. He pointed out much of the wildlife including a few baby crocodiles which were amazing & helped us with photos. He stopped off part way through & provided us with a refreshing drink of coconut water which was a nice touch. All in all it was a very enjoyable & informative trip that we both thoroughly enjoyed.”
