I have enjoyed my birding in Sri Lanka. The accommodation on the first two nights was quite good and very convergent for the birding. The Second Hotel is Fantastic. No doubt expensive but worth the experience.
My guide Saman has done a great job, and I am very pleased and satisfied. He has done everything possible to find the birds and has succeed 99% of the tine. I would recommending to anyone comity to Sri Lanka on a birding Trip he has great knowledge, Many Thanks.
This was our second visit to Sri Lanka and we specifically asked for Upali to be our driver/guide, as we knew from our previous visit that he is very knowledgeable, patient and understands our photography requirements perfectly.
My son and I participated in a 2 week long both birding and cultural excursion through Sri Lanka.
The planning process went on in a smooth and flexible way where the schedule was adjusted to our specific needs and we preferences.
As tour guide and chauffeur, UPALI did a magnificent gob ensuring that every detail was considered and taking care of – local guides were ready and at place when needed, and the hotels and restaurants for lunch were always first class situated in beautiful environments. Besides the perfect planning Upali showed up to be a very competent ornithologist able to identify find and distinguish between a lot of specific species. We were indeed very satisfied.
Good Communication about the details of the tour, excellent service
During the ten days trip, I’m deeply touched by the company’s management and their thoughtful arrangement. Thank you for your warm reception. Meanwhile, we thank for our professional guides, who created excellent chance for us to shoot many wonderful birds and allowed us to enjoy the foreign experience. I hope you could focus and improve your food service in the future. It would be wonderful if we could eat well while taking photos of nice birds.
James and Brenda Woolfenden with Nandana-in Sri Lanka birding tour
Guide diver – Very competent and knowledgeable guide. Friendly and extremely helpful and good fun.
Accommodation – Overall accommodation clean and friendly staff. We particularly appreciated when accommodation room included a fridge, hot drink making facilities and a safe.
The standard of decoration, locks and fittings and quality and condition of showering arrangements varied significantly.
Itinerary - We set ourselves a busy itinerary with a rest period at the resort at the end of tour. This proved to be a good arrangement. In future we might consider a mid-tour rest break as well as one at the end of a tour.

Good Communication about the details of the tour, excellent service around including the hotels and on this tour (and as told from earlier) very good guiding. The chosen route is very good for a group like ours with many without experience about Sri Lanka and the birds. DOF travel will continue to use WWJ.

Soren Sorensen - DOF Tour 2016 with guide Tharanga (1)
I have been very busy since coming back from Sri Lanka so I didn't write earlier.
I would like to say that all of us are thoroughly satisfied with our tour.
Your guides Mr.Upali and Mr.Heti worked very passionately and very hard to ensure we saw as many birds as possible. Mr.Upali was also a very careful driver.
