Based on 15 reviewsVerified Unforgettable experience, very grateful for the service offered by Shan Shan is not only a professional doing his job, but has become a fundamental part of our journey, which we will remember nostalgically as Sri Lankan. Thanks to it we have been able to know all the touristic and not so touristic corners of the country, always adapting to our preferences and with the maximum possible flexibility. At the beginning of the trip we proposed an itinerary which has continued to suggest possible modifications with the aim of improving our experience. We believe that a driver, and especially Shan, is necessary to know Sri Lanka in depth in a few days. We have been comfortable from the first to the last minute, thanks to the fact that you have been very helpful, attentive, responsible, in addition to your sympathy.

Besides being a very good and save driver, Shanaka knows his country very well and was able to give detailed information on the various sites we visited. He has the ability to grasp what his clients are interested in and caters to their wishes and interests. I had a fantastic week with Shanaka and in a short time learnt a lot about Sri Lanka and its people. I felt well cared for and had an great and fun time. Thank you so much Shanaka! If you want a knowlegable and fun guide Shanaka is the man for you! Viviana2025-02-07Verified Beautiful time in Sri Lanka Had a great time with great guidance.

On the way we stayed in some beautiful and affordable hotels.. really great time Alan Hogan2025-01-30Verified The best driver ever. Made me feel like a princes We had a perfect time , our driver (Shanaka) knows the best places to visit and let you see all the good and beautiful things in Sri Lanka, he spots the wild elephant in no time . And also let you taste all the best fruits they have in Sri Lanka, I never knew there were more than 1 kind of banana and coconut ,He is taking care of you like you were a princess or prince.The best driver we ever had. Corrie K2025-01-16Verified Excellent driver!!! We recently had our honeymoon in Sri Lanka and were recommended our driver, Sumith, by our friends. He was an absolutely magnificent host for our tour. He was extremely friendly and professional throughout. We were met at the airport (free of charge) and dropped to our first hotel with some great insight along the way. Following this, the service throughout was perfect. Sumi was so knowledgable, kind, always early and it felt like consistently going the extra mile for us. We really could not recommend him more highly.He knows the best routes, and knows about the wildlife (stopped to show us monkeys, bats etc.) and also had great connections (e.g. fantastic tour guides of waterfalls).Thank you Sumi for such a wonderful two weeks!! You made them unforgettable. Jack H2025-01-02Verified Had an wonderful vacation in Sri Lanka with Fauna trails (Shanaka) We had an amazing tour of Sri Lanka for 8 days. The tour was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. Shanaka took great care of us while we explored the varied landscape, culture and cuisine of Sri Lanka. The icing on the cake was the thrilling experience of white water rafting. Shanaka also accommodated our last minute request and took us to a place which was not on the itinerary. We highly recommend Shanaka for those who are interested in exploring the great tourist destination that is Sri Lanka. Anindya N2024-12-23Verified Amazing 2 week tour with Shan experiencing the highlights of Sri Lanka; delicious food, incredible scenery and culture. Very comprehensive and personalised trip organised by Shan to suit our specific needs with sympathetic attention to detail. Chris F2024-11-30Verified The perfect driver and travel companion in Sri Lanka We were very lucky to be accompanied by Mr. Sumith from Fauna Trails as our driver during our two-week trip through Sri Lanka and we can highly recommend him! His professionalism, local knowledge and friendly manner made our trip an unforgettable experience.Upon our arrival at Bandaranaike International Airport, we were warmly greeted by him with flowers - a small gesture that set the tone for the days to come. The first day in Colombo was perfectly organized: Mr. Sumith showed us early morning highlights such as the Gangaramaya Temple, Galle Face Green and the Seema Malakaya Temple, and then took us to our charming local hotel where we ended the day.The drive to Sigiriya was equally smooth. Thanks to his driving skills and local knowledge, we were able to explore the famous Lion Rock and the Pidurangala Rock, a special highlight and a unique experience! The next day, he recommended and organized the elephant safari in Minneriya National Park, where we were able to observe many wild elephants.Mr. Sumith's organizational skills were particularly evident when he took us from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya and, despite changing the train station at short notice, made it possible for us to travel by train on one of the most beautiful railroad lines in the world at the last minute. The visits to the tea plantations and tea stores were always welcome breaks.In Ella, we were able to benefit from his tips and explored popular places such as Little Adam's Peak and the Nine Arch Bridge on our own. The excursions to the Ravanna and Diyaluma waterfalls were absolute highlights.The drive to Mirissa was the epitome of Mr. Sumith's organization: he reliably took us to the best whale watching tour in heavy traffic. At the end of our trip, he accompanied us to Galle, where we visited the UNESCO World Heritage Site Galle Fort and strolled through the picturesque old town.In addition to his excellent driving skills and punctuality, Mr. Sumith also impressed us with his warm and outgoing personality. He gave us deep insights into the culture and history of his country and always made sure that we felt comfortable and safe. Thanks to his fluency in English, communication was easy. He easily adapted the program to our wishes, so we would like to go out for a simple local meal, whether with curry or seafood - he surprised us again and again with great little restaurants.We are very grateful to have had him as our travel companion and recommend Mr. Sumith without reservation to anyone who wants to experience an unforgettable trip through Sri Lanka.Thank you very much, Mr. Sumith, for this wonderful trip! marco m2024-11-15Verified Top experience in Sri Lanka with incredible guide tour : Shan ! A friend of mine recommended me Shan as a guide/driver tour. He was very flexible as we had to change our trip dates and he managed to acommodate our tour in new dates.We have spent 9 unforgettable days tour with him. He made his best to make our holidays amazing .He is very friendly and professional. He discovered us very valuable and unique places. We had lots of laughs with him and very funny moments. We felt like at home with him . If we would come back to this lovely country for sure we will make It again with him . Elena C2024-11-02Verified The BEST driver & tour guide EVER! We booked a trip to Sri Lanka fairly last minute and just thought we were booking a driver … Shanaka put us in touch with his brother Kosi who has just made our entire trip so amazing. He looked after us super well from start to finish, stopped at lots of interesting places that we wouldn’t have known about and always made sure we were happy and comfortable on our 9 day trip. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without Kosi, he was super informative, fantastic English language skills and gave us lots of local knowledge and facts about each place. He even helped us to book some hotels which were exactly what we were looking for and gave us restaurant recommendations in each town where we wanted the best authentic Sri Lankan food.The car was exceptionally clean and comfortable as it had pillows and ample air conditioning. It was my friend’s birthday half way through the trip and when he picked us up from our hotel that day he had decorated the car with balloons and banners and even bought her a huge chocolate cake, all from his own initiative and it was such a lovely touch!We would be sure to recommend Kosi & Shanaka to any of our friends looking for the full Sri Lankan experience and we want to thank Kosi so much for a holiday we will always remember.Lottie & Ellie Lottie2024-10-19

Shan no solo es un profesional haciendo su trabajo, si no que se ha convertido en una parte fundamental de nuestro viaje, del que nos acordaremos con nostalgia como de Sri Lanka. Gracias a él hemos podido conocer todos los rincones, turísticos y no tan turísticos del país, siempre acomodándose a nuestras preferencias y con la máxima flexibilidad posible. Al principio del viaje le propusimos un itinerario el cual ha seguido sugiriéndonos posibles modificaciones con el objetivo de mejorar nuestra experiencia. Creemos que un driver, y en especial Shan, es necesario para conocer en profundidad Sri Lanka en pocos días. Nos hemos sentido cómodas desde el primer hasta el último minuto, gracias que ha sido muy servicial, atento, responsable, además de su simpatía. Volvemos a España enamoradas del país y muy agradecidas por el servicio ofrecido por Shan.

Elena Castellano2024-11-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shanaka (our Tour guide) is an excellent person to have along the tour to SriLanka. We did a 11 day road trip with him and it turned out to be the best holiday ever for our family. Right from two months before the journey, Shanaka helped me plan the tour based on the places of my choice and number of days I had. I booked a full tour with him which included hotels, sight-seeing and transportation. He made sure to meet the 11 day plan thoroughly without a miss but added few bits for sure. He guided us through good local food joints, local cultures, knowledge about the places, eventually we got along very well as a family. He drives safely around the country and follows traffic rules. I wish to visit Sri Lanka again to see the remaining few places which we didn't plan and will surely do them with Shanaka. I wish him all the best with this tour guide journey and please more and more travellers. Austin Mathias2024-09-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shan is a magnificent tour guide. From the very beginning, he advised us about our trip to Sri Lanka and helped us with the itinerary. He always went out of his way to accommodate our schedule requests, and I recommend him to anyone or any group visiting the country. We are definitely very pleased to have traveled with him. Jorge Alcocer Romera2024-05-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Faunatrails - what else? A fantastic, always good-humoured driver, guide and private photographer who knows the beauties of his country and is happy to share them with you! Gladly again at any time. Thank you sooooo much Shan! Marina Bratschi2024-04-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fauna Trails is a MUST when travelling to Sri Lanka. If you have a packed itinerary with a lot of driving, this is necessary! Shan is incredible, kind and generous and loves his country so much. We were four girl’s traveling from the UK and we felt safe and happy every day. Don’t think twice and book! Charline BM2024-04-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shan is simply perfect. 5 stars seem not high enough to rate him. You can’t find a better tour guide in the world not just Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country but with Shan as a tour guide the experience gets to a whole different level. I’d definitely come back soon as we need to explore the north of the country as well. Needless to say we will be choosing Shan as our tour guide next time again because not only he organizes the best trip for you but also the places he takes his customers are secret and cannot be easily found from tourists.
