Our story
About Us
A small, local team with a big love for the rainforest.
Who we are
Rooted in the villages around Sinharaja
Sinharaja Excursions & Tour Guide is a locally owned business based near the Kudawa entrance to Sinharaja Forest Reserve.
Our guides grew up beside the forest. Long before guiding visitors, we walked these trails, learned the calls of the birds and the names of the trees from our families. Today we share that knowledge with travellers from around the world — helping them see the rainforest through local eyes.
Alongside our tours, we offer comfortable accommodation and reliable transport, so every part of your visit is looked after by people who care.
Your guide
A naturalist's eye for the details
Our lead guide has years of experience in Sinharaja, with a particular passion for endemic birds, reptiles and amphibians. They know where the Blue Magpies feed, which streams the frogs prefer and when the mixed flocks pass by.
