We had a great boat tour with Coca. He was very kind and shared lots of information with us. The ride was very comfortable and we were able to see lots. Some of the animals we saw were monkeys, crocodiles, snakes, water monitor, bats, and a variety of birds. Hats off to Coca our guide, he was very helpful and provided a great experience for us. I highly recommend this boat tour, it is really worth it.
The boat safari we booked through Nisha is wonderful. The driver Pradeep was so sweet showed us everything with patience and took beautiful photos for us. The mangroves is a must visit. 10/10 recommend.
Our river safari in Bentota was an absolutely brilliant experience and a true highlight of our trip. A big part of what made it so special was our guide, Coca, who was exceptional from start to finish. His knowledge of the river ecosystem was impressive, and he had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife—we would have missed so much without him. Thanks to Coca, we were able to see monitors, crocodiles, snakes, and monkeys up close in their natural habitat. Beyond his expertise, Coca was also warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and made every effort to help us capture the best possible photos, which we really appreciated. If you're considering a river safari in Bentota, I can’t recommend it enough—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Coca as your guide. It was an unforgettable experience!
The tour is only as good as it's guide, and our guide Coca was excellent. Lots to see. Feed the monkeys, see the Water Monitor's, crocodiles and Birdlife. I definitely recommend this as a thing to do in Bentota.
Great tour to relax along the river and the mangroves
We loved it! We had such a nice experience and saw a lot of animals. It was very relaxing with the boot and under the trees :). Our boot driver Coca was also very friendly and spotted a lot of animals + knew some pretty good German! Would absolutely recommend :)

Our Bentota River Safari with Nisha Tours and Travels was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and the team was very welcoming and professional. The boat ride through the beautiful mangroves was absolutely stunning. We saw so much wildlife along the river including crocodiles, monkeys, colorful birds, lizards and even a few hidden animals along the mangrove roots. The guide shared interesting information about the river and the ecosystem which made the safari even more enjoyable. The boat was comfortable and the ride was very smooth, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the scenery and nature around us. It felt like a real adventure while still being peaceful and relaxing. If you are visiting Bentota, I highly recommend booking your river safari with Nisha Tours and Travels. It’s an incredible experience.
We loved our safari with Coca. We did the 3pm tour so didn’t expect to see as much as the morning but saw crocodiles, lizards, snakes, kingfishers, eagles, chameleons, bats and fed monkeys mango. We couldn’t believe some of the camouflaged things he spotted! He was really knowledgable and took some amazing photos and videos for us as well. Really good value for the price.
A great experience! Coca our guide was the best. He knew where to go for the animals, had us feeding monkeys and the photographs he got of us were really amazing! Book a tour with this company for sure!
Very pleasant 2 hour long morning trip on the boat for just three of us, such a beautiful nature and wonderful experience! Thank you!

We went on vacation with our family to Bentota in March 2016. I still have fond memories of the trip. We were given Nisha's phone number, and we connected with him. I would like to express my gratitude to our guide, Nisha, who was like a friend to us. He showed us Bentota from all angles and left us with the best memories. He treated our family with kindness and warmth. On one occasion, knowing that my mother's birthday was coming up, he went with me to find bouquets of flowers. My mother was overjoyed. I definitely recommend the Nisha tour, you will see not only palm trees and the ocean, but a lot of everything! Turtles, temples, little crocodiles, the most incredible sunsets, parks, elephants, and the most delicious cuisine.
We had a great time - thank you a Coca! He showed us so many animals and spots, took pictures and took care of Mega 💛
