2.Tuk Tuk Tour to Diyaluma and Secret Waterfalls

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 7 hours · from $52 per person Top rated

Travel from Ella by tuk tuk with guide Dhanushka to Ravana Falls, Koslanda Rubber Plantation, Diyaluma Falls, Upper Diyaluma, and a small jungle waterfall. You get time to swim, take photos, and explore at an easy pace, though the upper falls require a steep walk and Diyaluma costs 350 Sri Lankan rupees extra.

“Sehr schöner Ausflug zu den Wasserfällen, der sich absolut lohnt. Wir wurden am Hotel mit dem TukTuk abgeholt und sind dann zu den Diyaluma Wasserfällen gefahren. Um zu den oberen Wasserfällen zu kommen, läuft man ungefähr 20 Minuten, größtenteils bergauf. Von dort aus gibt es immer wieder genügend Stops um zu baden, tolle Fotos zu machen und die unterschiedlichen Wasserfälle anzuschauen. Es ist genügend Zeit für eine Pause. Wir haben sogar einen Snack vom Bäcker und eine Flasche Wasser bekommen. Auf dem Rückweg schaut man dann noch die Secret Falls und den Ravana-Fall an. Alles in allem ein Ausflug, der sich lohnt und zu empfehlen ist.”

You’ll ride by tuk tuk from Ella with a local guide such as Kamal or Jackson, then walk about 20 to 30 minutes to Little Adam’s Peak. Allow three hours for the round trip, sunset views, Ella Rock, Ravana Falls, Cave and Temple, plus a stop near the Ravana Zip Line.

“Excellent guided hike with Jackson as our guide. We were picked up by tuk-tuk from our hotel and guided up Little Adam’s Peak. It’s an easy hike to do, but it was nice to have someone to show us the route since we had limited time in the area. It probably takes about 20 mins to walk to the top with great views. Sadly, there was no sunset due to the clouds, but we could clearly see Ella Rock, which we were due to climb on another day. We were dropped back down Ella town centre for good after the hike on our request. Definitely recommend doing it if you…”
