We came as part of Mercury holidays tour group staying in the Rainforest Ecolodge hotel. We went out three times on different tours- first one was 6:30 pm for the night tour, 6:30am early morning birds watching 10:30 trekking though the forest. All were expertly guided , leech socks provided ( recommended long trousers etc) We actually were lucky as it hadn’t rained for 2 weeks so almost no leeches, if it’s raining/ rained they are quite numerous- the guides are good at checking and advising. Quite how he found the tiny frogs and lizards is beyond me! We thoroughly enjoyed our treks.

It is the only rainforest in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan Forest Dept beautifully maintains it. We did only a couple of hours, visiting five waterfalls, with the Forrest guide. This is a beautiful forest for nature lovers, trekking and bird watchers.

We booked a trip to Sinharaja Forest with Tilanka Edirisinghe. The service from our initial enquiry until the end of the trip was seamless and all our questions were answered promptly. Based on our level of fitness and interests, Tilanka customized the tour to meet our requirements and was very flexible. He is an avid birder and his knowledge and experience in identifying the various species and taking the time and patience to seek the most elusive birds made it an incredible experience. He went above and beyond to find as many species especially the endemics in Sinharaja and surrounding area. We were very impressed with his commitment to environmental protection. He is a professional guide whose experience is not limited only to birding, but with in-depth knowledge on the culture, history, food and overall information which he is passionate and proud to share. We had an incredible 2 days experience with Tilanka. He was punctual, courteous, provided exceptional customer service and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. We would not hesitate to recommend Tilanka, Whatsapp +94702372945 for a tour of Sri Lanka.

Very nice tour in the Rain Forest. We had a very professionell nice guide, who discovered for us a lot of plants and animals: monkeys, waran, snake, spiders, chameleons, an owl... We walked 3 hours on comfortable and sometimes a little chellanging trails. Wonderful day.

We went on the Rainforest Trek with Sagara, an official guide. We were absolutely thrilled! You can tell that he has known this rainforest since his childhood and loves it! We can highly recommend him! Sagara Jayasingha +94 713000719

The park is very nice, you can see many animals and even go swimming. The guide Sagara was super nice and explains something to every animal. He even knows many animal names in German, which makes it easier to understand. You can also book a guided tour with him directly. Contact Sagara +94 71 300 0719

There are several entrances to the forest, each offering different experiences. Choose one based on what you want to see, like the Lankagama Entrance for waterfalls or Deniyaya for nearby hotels. A guide is recommended. The weather is usually rainy, so come prepared. Overall, a great experience with nature, water streams, and endemic wildlife.

We liked it, although the animals weren't seen much. In 5 hours, they saw a peacock, several lizards including some very unusual ones, one snake and many leeches. But we enjoyed a walk in a real rainforest. Interesting experience, I recommend

Slept here two nights...what a special location. From the bottom of the street you have to walk up a (short) distance, but then you end up in a nice piece of peace, where you can enjoy nature and tranquility. Upon reception, staff super friendly and can cook like the best. After our lunch escorted to the room..also this was a small climb up. Room is spacious with an attached bathroom with a good shower and hot water. On the balcony a sunbed and hammock where you can enjoy the peace and the view. Next day we were picked up by a guide for a full day in the rainforest. Packed lunch was neatly provided. Tired and satisfied we came back where again a delicious dinner was waiting for us. This place we would not have missed!
