FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you pick-up from?
For Colombo Safari we pick up at most locations around the Colombo city area – if you are staying in Negomobo we can arrange a private car to make the trip as Tuk Tuks are not able to go on the highway in between. Cruise ship booking start at the Galleface hotel as per the details of the cruise bookins here.
Can we change the time of the safari?
Yes, of course we can nearly do anything to meet our customers needs – custom safaris can easily be arranged they at 59USD per person just contact us at cruise@tuktuksafarisrilanka.com.
Can we make changes to the safari?
Yes of course! Please let us know what attractions you’d specifically like to see, or which you’d rather not. We’re happy to help you plan your ideal Safari, contact us on cruise@tuktuksafarisrilanka.com to get started on planning the ideal safari for you.
Do you give discounts for children?
Of course, children aged between 6-12 are half price, children aged 6 and under ride for free. Please just email us after you receive your booking confirmation and advise us if you have children (and their age) and we’ll amend your invoice.
How many people fit in one Tuk Tuk?
Two adults fit comfortably in a Tuk Tuk so your tour may use more than 1 Tuk Tuk. The price is per person, so you don’t pay any extra for additional Tuk Tuks. We have also found that we can fit 2 adults and 1 child in the Tuk Tuk quite comfortably, or even 2 adults and 2 toddlers. We’ve had customers that wanted three people in the back to be more social and we can accomodate this of course, too! Just remember it might be a bit cozy.
