About this experience

Step out of Mount Lavinia and into one of Sri Lanka's most biodiverse corners — Sinharaja Rainforest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with endemic wildlife. Your private, English-speaking guide leads you on a 3-hour birdwatching walk through dense jungle trails, pointing out rare and endemic species along the way. Entrance tickets are included, and your transport to and from the forest is handled in a 4WD safari jeep.

Raise your binoculars as your guide identifies the calls and plumage of birds found nowhere else on Earth, while explaining the layered ecosystem around you. The full day out runs 12 hours 30 minutes, with food and drinks to bring yourself. Children from age 5 are welcome on this private tour — no shared groups, just your party and an expert who knows exactly where to look.
