• 5Thanks to everyone for making this a fantastic day.

  From the minute we booked this day tour the service was excellent. We were contacted immediately by Mathew from SL Wayfares with all the information we needed including the train tickets and times, we were very impressed. He was a really nice guy, chatty, considerate, a good driver. The tour was amazing, hoped us so much on the train ride, coming into the station and locating our carriage and seats. The ride was absolutely gorgeous, be sure to try the amazing hot peanuts a guy brings round on the train, the scenery was gorgeous. Driver met us at the other station and we headed to the very interesting tea plantation and then o for a wonderfulunch with the most amazing view restaurant and then safely dropped off back at our hotel. This trip is amazing, Mathew was amazing and SL WAYFARERS did fantastic. Thanks to everyone for making this a fantastic day.

  The trip started very early in the morning, but it was definitely worth it. The drive from the south coast to Ella is long, but the scenery along the way is absolutely beautiful, with mountains, tea plantations, waterfalls, and small villages. One of the highlights was visiting Nine Arches Bridge, which is a stunning and iconic spot. We were lucky to see the train passing, which made the experience even more special

• 5Ella day tour

  Our Ella day tour was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our trip in Sri Lanka. The journey itself was beautiful, with scenic mountain views, tea plantations, and fresh cool air. We visited some of the most famous attractions including Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, and Ravana Falls. The views from Little Adam’s Peak were absolutely breathtaking and worth the short hike. Watching the train pass over Nine Arch Bridge was a magical moment. The tour was well organized, and the driver was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the area. He made sure we were comfortable and gave us enough time to enjoy each place without rushing. Ella town is very charming, with a relaxed atmosphere and great places to eat and relax. Overall, this tour is perfect for anyone who loves nature, photography, and peaceful surroundings. Highly recommended for all travelers visiting Sri Lanka

About Galle

Galle is a southern Sri Lankan port city whose Dutch-era fort, with ramparts above the sea, shelters cafés, churches and old merchant houses.

Galle Fort was started by the Portuguese in the late sixteenth century and extensively built by the Dutch in the seventeenth, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside its thick sea walls, people still live and work among Dutch-style houses, mosques, churches and small galleries. A circuit of the ramparts at sunset, passing the lighthouse and the clock tower, is the favourite local walk.
