Certified Guide

Hi, I'm Udul. I've spent my entire life surrounded by the beauty of Hikkaduwa, and I've dedicated the past 15+ years to helping travelers explore not just this coastal paradise, but the entire island of Sri Lanka. Guiding runs in my blood—my father was a tour guide here for over 50 years, and I grew up learning from him, soaking in the culture, history, and natural wonders that make this country so special.

Born just five minutes from the Hikkaduwa Marine National Park, I've always had a deep love for nature—especially our coral reefs, blacktip reef sharks, and sea turtles. But my passion extends far beyond the beach. I'm just as excited to show you the misty hills of Ella, the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya, the wild beauty of Yala National Park, and the cultural treasures of Kandy and Galle Fort.

I've worked with tourists from all over the world—Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, the UAE, and Asia—and spent a few years in Naples, Italy, working in restaurants and learning traditional bread-making. I even speak Italian! These international experiences shaped how I approach travel: with care, curiosity, and attention to detail.

Whether you're a solo traveler, a family, or a large group, I'll tailor your entire Sri Lanka journey—from airport pickup to drop-off—to fit your interests and travel style. I handle everything: accommodations, transportation, local experiences, off-the-beaten-path spots, and the classic must-sees. Every tour is custom, personal, and filled with stories, food, and genuine connection.

If you ask me what makes Hikkaduwa and Sri Lanka special, I'd say it's the warmth of the people, the diversity of nature, the deep cultural roots, and the feeling that no matter how far you've traveled, you're home. And if you're visiting Hikkaduwa specifically—just bring sunscreen. The rest, I've got covered.
