The 9 Arch bridge is worth checking out but gets quite busy. The transport was tuktuk which was ideal for the small roads and our guide was excellent”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 55 reviews · 4 hours · from $40

Half-day Ella tour to Nine Arch Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak, with tuk tuk pickup, water, a small-group hike, and tea-country views.

“I had such an excellent time hiking Little Adam's Peak and seeing the Nine Arch Bridge and train passing. The hike is manageable/easy but you will be tired when going up the stairs but that doesn't last too long (plus you can always take a minute to catch your breath)! My guide, Pubba was so friendly and helpful - with photos and to walk on some uneven ground. He also provided me some interesting information at each stop. He was on time too and a safe driver. Snacks and water provided.”

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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 9 reviews · 3 hours · from $12Best value

Sunset Ella by tuk tuk with a guided Little Adam's Peak hike, views of Ella Rock and Ravana Falls, plus a Ravana Zip Line stop.

“Kamal got in touch in advance and we arranged our pick up. Sadly the weather was against us, unseasonably wet, cold and misty, so the sunset was written off and so was the top of Little Adam’s Peak as it was windy and the views were obliterated by mist. Kamal thought on his feet and took us to a beautiful hotel for drinks and cake so that our evening wasn’t a complete waste. Highly recommend Kamal and his tour, he was knowledgeable with fantastic customer service.”

Night hike to Adams Peak for sunrise from Nuwara Eliya, with private English guide, hotel transfers, breakfast, and sanctuary views.

“L’escursione è veramente faticosa ma ne vale la pena, il paesaggio è spettacolare per tutto il percorso. L’alba è veramente emozionante da la su! Peccato che il tempio fosse chiuso. In cima fa molto freddo quindi bisogna portarsi un giubbotto e una maglia di ricambio dopo la sudata della salita. Sicuramente bisogna essere allenati per un trekking abbastanza impegnativo!!”
