Sigiriya Loris Night Walk Experience with Local Guide

An amazing night adventure with wonderful local guides

This was honestly one of the most fun and memorable experiences we had in Sigiriya, especially for my kids. Our guide is a very friendly young man who clearly loves what he does and his father also joined us during the walk, helping to spot wildlife and making sure everyone was safe throughout the experience. We saw so much more than I expected including lorises, chameleons, frogs, spiders, fish, flying fish and lots of other little creatures. They were able to spot things in the dark that we would have walked straight past on our own. Everything was also very well prepared. Headlamps and water were provided and before we started, our guide made sure everyone had bug spray on, so you really don’t need to worry if you don’t have these things with you. My only advice is to wear long pants and closed shoes. I learned a useful trick during the walk which is to tuck the bottom of your pants into your socks to stop fire ants or other insects getting inside. Also watch where you step, although the guides are constantly looking out for you. What made the experience special was how personal and genuine it felt. It wasn’t just about finding a loris, we spent the evening exploring nature and discovering all kinds of wildlife along the way. The guides were patient, knowledgeable and really good with my kids. I would absolutely recommend this experience and especially this guide. It’s also a great opportunity to support a young local guide and his family who are doing a wonderful job. Definitely worth booking!
