I think this is probably your best vlog yet! You covered lots of interesting things as usual but the boat trip looked amazing, all the different wildlife. Keep it up and happy, safe travels guys.
This has been my favourite vlog you've done, the food ,value for money ,the setting just the whole thing 👌 love it can't wait for the next one amazing work guys 😊
This is an amazing Sri Lankan travel experience video. 👌😍. Thank you so much for coming to Sri Lanka and showing the beauty to the whole world. There are many scenic natural places in sri lanka .There are different nationalities and their culture is different from one to another. So I think you have gathered more unforgettable experiences from Sri Lanka. 🤘 However, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to Sri Lanka and showcasing the beauty of my motherland to the world.. ❤️❤️🌿
Hey there! It is our pleasure. We covered more last year but thought we could do better this time, and Bentota deserves it. Sri Lanka is a wonderful mix of traditional culture to touristic beach life and it's important both sides are shown. Things have improved for SL a lot in a year since we last came and we really hope that a new government will help the country recover and be strong again. Sent with love from us to you! John & Becky x ♥️🇱🇰
Hi guys, well as you were saying it in the vlog Becky, I was looking at that beach and area thinking, WOW this is the best I have seen of your adventure ❤ The food as always looks delicious, and really reasonably priced. I am definitely up for the Scotch Bonnet 🌶️ love a bit of spice 👍🏽 I really loved the boat trip and the train track right alongside the Main Street was really intriguing. Here’s to the next one ❤
Ey up Kezzzaaa! Bentota is probably our new favourite resort in Sri Lanka. Much cleaner and nicer than our previous favourite Mirissa and it actually has police in resort. It's not a party place by any means but I think we are getting old before our time. Now we've been in India nearly a week the spice level has been turned up a notch though! 🌶️🌶️
Now this looks a great place to visit, that beach wow And could Just relax all day on that in the peace And quiet, And eat those lovely ice creams ☺️ the boat trip I bet was a magical time seeing all what you saw etc, Thankyou guys really loved this one ❤💙 xxx
I’ve just booked our second trip to Sri Lanka and we will be in Bentota for 6 days so your video is really helpful. Definitely got to check out that Bamboos Restaurant 👍🏼
I certainly will. We are doing a lot of travelling around Kandy, Ella and Yala so we left plenty of time for relaxing at Bentota. Just a final chill out before we head home.
John Lennon, of the Beatles, favorite food was rice and curry. You are not scared of the lizard. You are back in Sri Lanka after being away for almost a year I think. Welcome back!
Good video for backpackers Just $200 enough for entire Sri Lanka they didn’t mention There was a bakery van in the morning it’s come today every street can buy you banned for $1 maybe can use that for the lunch too
We asked the locals about it and nobody knew or was bothered that we were flying it to get some footage. Some people hadn't seen a drone before so they were more curious than anything else.
@ParksTravelGuide Thank-You. Another question - Did you have to take specific drone approval at airport? Based on other reviews, they advice not to take drone for Sri lanka travel - what was your experience?
@DesiTravelExplorers we never fly ours anywhere near an airport, plus it's a DJI so it has zone blocking and won't take off unless we apply for a licence on the DJI app and declare everything. It's just not worth the time for a few seconds of a clip. Some places you can't use your drone (like Kandy for example) and some you can get away with it. If we're in doubt we don't use it. A lot of countries are cracking down on drone use so ours is pretty much not worth the hassle anymore. The Philippines have strict rules too and you need to apply for a licence. In Egypt they confiscate it at customs until you depart as you're basically accused of being a spy. It's definitely getting harder!
If you're travelling around the country then we feel 4 nights is about right. There's not a lot to do and the resort is pretty chilled. We stayed either 4 or 5 nights, it was a while ago so difficult to remember 🙂
@susantriance5219 you could stay a week in Bentota if you don't mind it quiet, especially on a night. The beach is huge. Mirissa is nice but we liked Hikkaduwa too. Plenty of choice!
@susantriance5219 When we first went Unawatuna was the main Russian resort. Now the Russians have taken Mirissa and Hikka too. We wouldn't go back again but if you can see past that then fair play. Just watch out for the tuktuk drivers in Mirissa as they are a law unto themselves with the extortionate prices they charge.
Hey Tomas. We had no issues and saw no stray dogs in Bentota. The only thing we had to be careful of were the Rickshaw drivers who tried to overcharge tourists massively.
Hey Vishu. Yeah they were a bit worse for wear, possibly age related and battered by the strong sea winds. Either way they could do with replacing. Thanks for watching!

Hey Nadun! It was our pleasure
Looking forward for my Bentota trip
Have a great time Ruby! If you see anyone featured on the vlog (Brown Beans or Bamboo) then tell them we said Hi!
We did the river trip today. We also booked in the hotel for 8k rp. It was very nice and the boatdriver very kind. Thanks for the recommendation. 😊
You are most welcome. Glad you had a good trip!

Definitely worth visiting. We loved Bentota even though there wasn't much to do. Say hi from us if you visit!
I certainly will. We are doing a lot of travelling around Kandy, Ella and Yala so we left plenty of time for relaxing at Bentota. Just a final chill out before we head home.

Thanks for watching Ruwan ♥️
John Lennon, of the Beatles, favorite food was rice and curry. You are not scared of the lizard. You are back in Sri Lanka after being away for almost a year I think. Welcome back!
We can understand why! Yeah you're right it was 11 months. We were glad we could come back so soon 🙂
Good video for backpackers
Just $200 enough for entire Sri Lanka they didn’t mention There was a bakery van in the morning it’s come today every street can buy you banned for $1 maybe can use that for the lunch too
We loved hearing that chime! Thanks for watching Lanka!
Is there any restriction for flying drone in Bentota?
We asked the locals about it and nobody knew or was bothered that we were flying it to get some footage. Some people hadn't seen a drone before so they were more curious than anything else.

Thanks a ton!! Happy travelling, Safe-Travelling to both of you.
@DesiTravelExplorers you too ☺️
How long did you stay in Bentota ? Isa week too long ? 🙏
If you're travelling around the country then we feel 4 nights is about right. There's not a lot to do and the resort is pretty chilled. We stayed either 4 or 5 nights, it was a while ago so difficult to remember 🙂
@@ParksTravelGuide thanks travelling around the triangle then 1week Marissa need another beach for 1week before airport ?
@susantriance5219 you could stay a week in Bentota if you don't mind it quiet, especially on a night. The beach is huge. Mirissa is nice but we liked Hikkaduwa too. Plenty of choice!
@@ParksTravelGuide did u find it very pro Russian tourist? At Hikkaduwa
@susantriance5219 When we first went Unawatuna was the main Russian resort. Now the Russians have taken Mirissa and Hikka too. We wouldn't go back again but if you can see past that then fair play. Just watch out for the tuktuk drivers in Mirissa as they are a law unto themselves with the extortionate prices they charge.
Hi there, it's there danger with wild dogs around hotel or on the beach? Talking about rabies.. thank you Tomas
Hey Tomas. We had no issues and saw no stray dogs in Bentota. The only thing we had to be careful of were the Rickshaw drivers who tried to overcharge tourists massively.
Thank you Tomas
From where i can book the boat ride ?
Hi Mohammad. If you speak to your hotel they should be able to sort it for you. Alternatively a website like Viator may have availability.
Як до вас доїхати )
Thanks for watching 🙂
It’s very disrespectful that 4:20 teared flags of other countries
Hey Vishu. Yeah they were a bit worse for wear, possibly age related and battered by the strong sea winds. Either way they could do with replacing. Thanks for watching!
Eating, eating, eating...is your travelling all about food??
Watch other ones and find out.
