Explore Dambulla’s icon-filled caves, view Sigiriya rocktop ruins, and enjoy a 4x4 safari to see Minneriya’s elephants or a local village tour.

* A traveler said: "Had a great day trip with Dinesh to Sigirya and Dambulla! We also stopped at a spice garden where we learnt about lots of different plants and had a quick massage, as well as a beautiful Hindu temple. Was a well-planned out day trip. You can get a tuk tuk from Kandy for cheaper, but it’s a long way to Sigirya so travelling in a car with A/C is a lot more comfortable!! We were the only ones on the tour, but Dinesh’s car was an 8 seater so could also work for a group. Dinesh was just a driver rather than tour guide, but helped us to sort a guide at Sigirya, although there are quite a few information panels so you probably don’t need one. Dinesh took us to a lunch place which was a buffet. We would have preferred somewhere where the food was prepared fresh, just because of food-poisoning risk, but the food was nice. Overall a great day and would definitely recommend!"
