Nuwara Eliya: Tea Factory and Pickle Waterfalls Tuk Tuk Tour

3.Nuwara Eliya: Tea Factory and Pickle Waterfalls Tuk Tuk Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 113 reviews · 3 hours · from $33

Explore Nuwara Eliya by private tuk-tuk, visiting two tea factories and Ramboda and Puna waterfalls for $33 per person.

“I really enjoyed this trip. I booked for the 2pm, and it goes dark at 6ish. The trip can be up to 6 hours so book earlier if you want to make the most of it. The tea factories were lovely and very interesting. The first one does involve tea plucking which is interesting but they do offer to dress you up authentic dress which feels a tad inappropriate if you can say no. The second one includes tea tasting as well. The waterfalls and view points were lovely. The guide Saravanan was brilliant, very friendly and knowledgeable and took lots of photos. I also joined him for another trip…”

“We had a wonderful experience on the Halpe Tea Factory, Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak & Waterfall tour. The landscapes were stunning and the route perfectly chosen to see the highlights around Ella. What really made this tour special was our guide Ajith. He was extremely friendly, open, and genuinely caring. He shared interesting insights, showed us small hidden spots along the way, and never rushed us. Ajith even took photos of us at great viewpoints, which we really appreciated. His brandnew Tucktuck was very comfy! His warm personality and attention to detail made the day feel very personal — more like exploring with a local friend than joining…”

“Wycieczka rozpoczęła się spod naszego hotelu. Klimatyczny przejazd tuk-tukiem z przerwami na punkty widokowe, przewodnicy byli bardzo uprzejmi, dużo tłumaczyli, opowiadali, przygotowali dla nas poczęstunek w postaci lokalnych owoców podczas przejazdu. Najlepsi fotografowie! W trakcie pieszej wędrówki zrobili nam dużo zdjęć, pokazali nam najlepsze miejsca przy wodospadach, w których można popływać, odpocząć i nawet skakać. Chętnie pomagali podczas przenoszenia naszych rzeczy w dalsze miejsca wycieczki i cały czas dbali o nasze bezpieczeństwo. Posiłek przewidziany po zejściu z wodospadów był bardzo dobry. Cała wycieczka przewyższyła nasze najśmielsze oczekiwania. Zdecydowanie warto przeżyć to ...”
