I just looked on your tuktuk website and it's $18/day if you rent for over 23 days & does not include fuel. Did you guys get a deal for advertising them via your videos?
Please don’t go on these private tours they are ruining this wonderful country’s nature please go on the actual tour that the Sri Lankan navy holds please these private tours are killing these special species as they do not even get the breathing time they require Please don’t go on the private trips just coz you want to save money as they can be dangerous and unsafe.
Thank you for letting us know. We had no idea this was possible. Thats our fault sorry. We will set this right and make a dedicated video on this topic so we promote the right kind of tourism. We really appreciate the feedback and help 😊🙏💜
No one knows about navy tour and especially foreigners. Its not about saving money, there is no advertisement and guidance to the tourists, its not there fault clearly.

Hey budgeteers.... I've been a fan of your channel for a long time...since you are in sri lanka i'd like to invite you to visit belihuloya area. adventure is waiting atop our mountains...
The Passikudah beach ( bay ) is not far from Dumbulla . Also do check out the Kandalama heritage site ( hotel built into a mountain ) at Dumbulla. Highly recommended.
Please Please Please use the official whale watching tours hosted by the Sri Lankan navy. The private tours may be cheaper but they don't respect the whales and their habitat.
Interesting! Can you tell us more about these whale watching tours hosted by the sri lanka army. We have not heard anything about that and we wanna make a dedicated video about whale watching and how to do it right... Indeed we wanna support the good kind of tourism 😊👍 your help would be much appreciated

I keep a part of my data pack specially for your videos ... it's an experience and it's a beautiful country. So many colours and beaches... more than the whales, I personally loved the dolphins 😍 in your videos, even the Bajaj tuktuks look good 😂
Wow... The way you shows the real backpacking travel experiences.. I can literally feel it... The trincomalee is beautiful.. The vibes from it is chilling and calming.. Uu guys always do very amazing adventurous activities and with ur amazing filming skills u just turn ur experience into gold for us... Mee being musician I always carefully listen ur background music and sound effects... U guyz nailed it in every episode.. That's why I'm sugesting ppl to watch ur episodes with ear phones ON... The experience of being in middle of the ocean for hours watching whales and dolphins Mann... Only true hard core crazy travellers like uu can do it.. To show us the real adventures... Clearly u guys r the best world travellers of 2019 for a reason... I can type more.. But I'm sure u guys understand how highly I appreciate ur work... Its stunning...
Thank you, those are some really kind words. Especially coming from a musician! Yes we do put a lot of effort into storytelling and good audio, and the entire audio experience 😊👍 Thanks for the support, we can certainly use it because we have loads more to edit. Its good to know you have good eyes and ears to spot it 😁👌 see you next episode!
Wow what an adventure! I'm so glad you went to Trincomalee as I'm thinking about going in August and I hadn't seen anyone else go. I think its a good place to be in August weather wise with good surf.. if anyone is reading this and knows if thats right or not, please let me know!
HMS Trincomalee is a Leda Class Frigate one of Britian last fully rigged sailing ' man of war' very beautiful. It can be found at the museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool in North East England.
Okay... First of all.. Hats off to whoever edited the background music.. My heart was actually racing while you were on the chase for blue whale... And I had a big smile on my face.. A huge one.. When I saw those dolphins and blue whale.. I was happy to see u guys happy to watch blue whales... As an Indian I never new srilanka is such beautiful... Until I saw your videos..
Total bullshit on budget. Been to Sri Lanka many times love the country, but things are more expensive than other south Asian countries. There’s no doubt that “budgeteers” have been less than sincere with the costs. How much of discount did you get for You tube exposure? Did you eat one meal a day? From places where the poorest locals would eat? Not a way to see the country. But a very good way to get diarrhoea and some other tropical infection.
Thank you so much, we really appreciate the feedback 😁👌 its keeps us motivated to hear your opinions😄 we really wanna take you along on our journies through our videos 😊
roughest ride thru the country side of Colombia hanging off a jeep packed with people for about 3 hours. bumpy roads mud slides and civil disobedience. Antioquia Colombia.
i like you guys since you are popular already you still have time to reply comparing to the other vloggers who doesn't have time to respond or appreciate nice comments about them.
Gotta admit I sometimes get fed up watching some of the vloggers on TH-cam, so polished and too flashy.... BUT and a big But I think you are very good and offer an original concept👌👌... almost so slick with the narration and choreography you would think you had a production and editing team behind you... 😳😳.... I applaud you three well done subscribed!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
That's my hometown. Another beautiful video guys. Especially the beauty of pristine beaches and the historic koneswaram temple are magnificent. The aerial shot of the temple was so beautiful. Well done guys and keep up the excellent work.
guys buy a soda plastic bottle of 2 litres, drink all up and put some petrol into it and keep it with urselves as a spare one.thats how local tuk tuk drivers do it.. and btwy do u have any idea to put ur programme into national television? i think u guys deserves it with the great quality of videos
I’m sorry but all of those boats chasing down the whale wasn’t cool to watch. It made me feel sad. I always thought I wanted to swim with whales more than anything but after seeing so many TH-cam videos with bloggers doing it I just feel that I’d prefer to leave them alone :(
Well that's great to know that our experiences and showing you what its like, helps make up your mind about doing it or not :) - in a a few weeks we will have a video all about our whale watching experiences (because we actually did a different version of whale watching later in the series) and we talk to marine biologist about this issue in much more detail. So yeah lots more info to come about the whole thing :)
Nice episode as always. nice to see some of your trade marks back... the prices and what you got left. Keep up the good work. I live for my fridays... In part because of you guys!!! Thanks alot for such quality vids and adventures. I love you guys.
Thanks so much Benjamin, that means a lot. Yeah we put the budgets back in because people asked for it. Sri Lanka is so cheap we werent really keeping track the first days 😂 Glad you enjoy them, have a good one
...my roughest ride was an 19 hour bus ride (that was meant to be 12 hours) from sunauli border in India to kathmandu in Nepal after the earthquake and the road was hell, not stones but boulders! I was bouncing around so much and ended up having to push on the roof to prevent my head banging on it all the time, was a good work out on my abs though :) Sadly it made me beak my no flying rule when travelling but there was no way I was going back that way!!! Great video as always and I too would have spent that money to see the whales, what majestic animals.
Whoaaa, I've seen all kinds of wildlife and even swam with penguins once but so far I've never seen whales. Never been on a tour either but have been to many shores and lookouts where whales meet but never had any luck. One day tho!
I also saw whales here but did the larger group boat tours. We saw a lot of whales up close but it felt a little like we were cornering them with all the massive boats (although I'm sure the whales couldn't care less with their size). Bumpiest trip - 9 hour bus ride in Nepal on the way to Pokhara in preparation for trekking the Annapurna circuit. Flew out of my seat and into the lap of some poor stranger on the other side of the bus :D
Hey guys i'm not sure if your using a drone, but just to let you know that drones are not allowed and banned right now. Just check on this info. Thanks.
Roughest ride I've ever had was through Guatemala. All I remember is being absolutely exhausted from 20 hours of flying and I had a 4 hour bus through Guatemala (from Guatemala city to Xela I think).
Wonderful episode! I often see dolphins when I go to my favorite dog friendly beach in Carpenteria, CA but I never get to hear them! I loved when you put the camera under water so we could hear their chatter. One of the roughest rides I've recently taken was heading up to the jungle in Monteverde, Costa Rica from the coast. Unpaved, rocky, bumpy roads that seemed to go on for hours uphill. Definitely bring motion sickness pills if you go Lina!
I seen blue whales in a Monterey, California with my son. An absolute fantastic sight. If you ever get a chance to see them....pay the money. Well worth it.
Oh man, the no gas situation gave me mad flashbacks. I had a rental car to drive to the best sunrise spot on Easter Island and when I was almost there at around 4:00AM I realized that A) I was out of gas and B) there was only one gas station on the entire island and that gas station was on the opposite end of the island. After walking down the road in the dark early in the morning I hailed down a local driver who just happened to have a jerry can in the back. I was sure he'd sell me the gas for a crazy inflated price but he actually sold it to me at face value. (...I would have filled up the tank the night before but the only gas station in town also closes very early, so I just winged it)
Guys u should go to see Lakshapana waterfall, Kandalama, rawana falls, kithulagala ( water rafting, confident jump & camping) , Horton plains national park, jungle beach, diyaluma falls & dunhinda falls. Definitely u guys will get maxxa fun on budget
try and use the services offered by the Sri Lankan Naval Corps and coast guards, they have units in places like Trinco, Mirissa and Kalpitiya dedicated to whale and dolphin watching using safe and ethical methods which don't harass cetaceans like most private tour groups do. check whalewatching.navy .lk for more info
YAYYYY! B Squad kills it again! Toughest ride on my travels: getting a car stuck in the mud, then two trucks who tried to pull us out got stuck, then a backhoe got stuck trying to pull the two trucks out 😲😲😲
I've watched since season 1 and love all your videos but I gotta say, wow, you guys have really stepped up your game on this season! Keep up the good work guys! :)
My dear,dear Budgeteers wishing the very best from a HOT dusty Glastonbury while you have fun in by the sun,we are working on the bin trucks cleaning up in 80 f!! Have sympathy be for us please.!
A bus ride through winding mountains to go from Cita de Castello to the beach Italy. We all wanted to barf, wild ride. Tip: huming and singing helped me not get sick.
Hi there... We're you guys were there before or after Easter weekend tragedy?? Is after Easter, what was your experience?? Do tell us all.. Regards from Solomon Islands
Great episode guys. The roughest ride which I have had was the 3rd class train in Thailand from Kachanaburi to Bangkok. The train had open windows and no aircon, making the temperature of the carriage somewhere around 40 degrees. To make matters worse the train stopped in the middle of nowhere for an hour. An adventure, but one which I would not like to repeat, lol.
Your spirits are filled with so much joy. Even the gentle giant is coming out of his shell and talking in this series with excitement. Patty is relaxed and enjoying the moment. So grateful for being able to share the adventure with you. May your life’s all be blessed for all the kinds things you do. Cheers...Felicidad...Geluk
I went for whale watching on January in Mirissa down south, spot many whales in close range, sea was also not rough. But in this time of the year down south sea also rough.
PS it way worse going out to see great white sharks in south Australia as there are big waves on top of big swell! 40 out of 45 on my boat were sick 🤢 😂
The Budgeteers we traveled there before the attacks, we have heard all is back to normal :) ...yes...I was sure.. it doest make sense to go after attacks...quite scary.... thanks for your reply....
hey! i do HIIT sometimes but not always. i look for parks to work out at or hostels with gyms or equiptment and if not then just body weight circuits using whatever is around . or get creative, take a dance class, go out running, walking is great too! just MOVE!
Roughest ride was the ferry between the south island of New Zealand and Stewart Island. It was only an hour but the waves are always so rough, people were throwing up all over the place.
The roughest ride was heading from my India visa run in Kandy all the way to Negombo late on a Sunday - it was a long night and all the busses on the way seemed to be cancelled. It was amazing though, the people were so friendly and I absolutely cannot wait to go back. I honestly left my heart in Sri Lanka
There are so many hidden WOW!! places all over Sri Lanka which are not popular in every province. So the best thing is finding a local in the area and asking places to visit.

I just looked on your tuktuk website and it's $18/day if you rent for over 23 days & does not include fuel. Did you guys get a deal for advertising them via your videos?
@@danoliver7044 if you look the cost they are saying is per person, so x3 to see the real amount they are spending for the tuktuk
how much was the blue whale tour? 56?
Please don’t go on these private tours they are ruining this wonderful country’s nature please go on the actual tour that the Sri Lankan navy holds please these private tours are killing these special species as they do not even get the breathing time they require

Yes I do tend to agree but with a reputable firm it is a great way to see these fantastic animals
Seeing and swimming with a blue whale is one of my bucket list items. I had no idea they flock to Sri Lanka! Putting this on my checklist to do!

@@TheBudgeteers lots of love from cycle baba...
Are you guys in Europe or UK...
If yes then ping me..will see you there .I m in Italy right now
There’s no way this trip was done on 3,000 USD. Im sri lankan i know how much things cost
Our full budget breakdowns are in the descriptions. We dont bullshit on the budget
It's certainly possible. But, you'll have to use bad accommodation because that and activities are the costly part of traveling in Sri Lanka.
Total bullshit on budget. Been to Sri Lanka many times love the country, but things are more expensive than other south Asian countries. There’s no doubt that “budgeteers” have been less than sincere with the costs. How much of discount did you get for You tube exposure? Did you eat one meal a day? From places where the poorest locals would eat? Not a way to see the country. But a very good way to get diarrhoea and some other tropical infection.
Wow!!! It’s great 👍 to see my mother land, as I ‘m far away!!! Thanks guys!!!
Enjoy :)
wowee you guys.. it was an amazing episode.. felt like I was in that boat with you experiencing all that.. incredible stuff.. keep it up

Thanks for the series! It's helped inspire me to plan my trip.
For the tuk tuk, did you find it took much time to travel from place to place?
Mirissa is way better for whales and they have bigger boat tours for cheaper. put you have to visit in the season.

Near that bridge you passed, there is a really nice bathing spot. Not much people know, such a relaxing place with less people... :)
ah cool! too bad we missed it!
Hi there...
We're you guys were there before or after Easter weekend tragedy??
Is after Easter, what was your experience??
Do tell us all..
Regards from Solomon Islands
we traveled there before the attacks, we have heard all is back to normal :)
Great episode guys. The roughest ride which I have had was the 3rd class train in Thailand from Kachanaburi to Bangkok. The train had open windows and no aircon, making the temperature of the carriage somewhere around 40 degrees. To make matters worse the train stopped in the middle of nowhere for an hour. An adventure, but one which I would not like to repeat, lol.
Sounds rough 💜
Your spirits are filled with so much joy. Even the gentle giant is coming out of his shell and talking in this series with excitement. Patty is relaxed and enjoying the moment. So grateful for being able to share the adventure with you. May your life’s all be blessed for all the kinds things you do. Cheers...Felicidad...Geluk
Cheers Joel :)
Loved this episode! ❤️❤️
Hopefully the next episode drops soon. 😁
Same time next week :)
I would never goup that weird tower! Otherwise, count me in!
LOVE Zeta in the intro!!!
She's a beaut 💜
I went for whale watching on January in Mirissa down south, spot many whales in close range, sea was also not rough. But in this time of the year down south sea also rough.
nice!
Roughest rides have to be the bus to Cameroon Highlands in Malaysia and the overnight ferry from Melbourne to Hobart in Australia!
Haha oh dear
You had me on the edge of my seat on your whale adventure- OUTSTANDING STORYTELLING SKILLS
PS it way worse going out to see great white sharks in south Australia as there are big waves on top of big swell! 40 out of 45 on my boat were sick 🤢 😂
Thanks so much 😁
Haha yeah I can imagine 😀 thats crazy! Australia's rough seas with that many people... No doubt yeah thats worse 😫
I hope those lousy Japanese don't start killing blue whales since they've started whale hunting again after 20yr moratorium
Let's hope
Paddy your voice is so relaxing... Man 🤘🏽
haha really?
The Budgeteers
we traveled there before the attacks, we have heard all is back to normal :)
...yes...I was sure.. it doest make sense to go after attacks...quite scary.... thanks for your reply....
No worries
Whenever on TH-cam, I search you guys to see if you have released anything new. The crave is real!
haha thanks :)
turn the bell icon on.. you will get push notifications whenever they release new videos.
@@l.h4042 I am subscribed. Just sometimes wonder if I have missed the new video.
@@BlissJoieCom oh belive me I have! It is just and impulse to check just in case I have missed it.
Lina, what kind of workouts do u do to keep fit during a Budgeteers trip? HIIT workouts?
hey! i do HIIT sometimes but not always. i look for parks to work out at or hostels with gyms or equiptment and if not then just body weight circuits using whatever is around . or get creative, take a dance class, go out running, walking is great too! just MOVE!
Dont be worry you may get petrol from small shops also.they are selling petrol in bottles.
That's a last resort as they are much more expensive
Such an interesting episode. Thoroughly enjoyed. It had content better than previous episodes. I was hooked on to it for the full half an hour.
Nice... Glad you enjythis one
Loved this episode guys. $50 is a lot out of your individual budgets, but man... you will never forget that. Cheers!
Lifetime event really to see such a beast
You didn't see a skool of dolphins, you see a pod of dolphins.
we love you videos so much we watch all the ads!
🤣💜🤣💜
I went on a wave jet excursion on a cruise once. The sea was really choppy. My legs were so sore I couldn't walk normal for 3 days.
sounds bad!
When did you travel guys? The weather seems perfect, what month please?
March 2019 :)
Roughest water ride: Ferry to/from Dar Es Salaam and Zanzibar.
😓
How you pronounce Trincomalee is just so funny. Every time you say something different than the previous. Trinco looks fun.
haha! Yeah three nationalities trying to say to a hard named place haha
how many episodes in this season? cant get enough
There will be 11 and of course many bitesize toi
Roughest ride was the ferry between the south island of New Zealand and Stewart Island. It was only an hour but the waves are always so rough, people were throwing up all over the place.
Hahaha yeah thats really rough. I cant imagine so many people vomiting all over the boat.🤢😬
@@TheBudgeteers eugh it was so gross, i stood out back to get some air and puke was running along the floor, almost slipped in it haha
Beautiful guys...such a lovely vid. Blue whales were amazing!
Yeah they are incredible 💜
The roughest ride was heading from my India visa run in Kandy all the way to Negombo late on a Sunday - it was a long night and all the busses on the way seemed to be cancelled. It was amazing though, the people were so friendly and I absolutely cannot wait to go back. I honestly left my heart in Sri Lanka
Rewatching!
I have seasickness
Thank you coming my country.....love you ......... and coming back meat us...❤️❤️❤️❤️keep it up...
There are so many hidden WOW!! places all over Sri Lanka which are not popular in every province. So the best thing is finding a local in the area and asking places to visit.
What was the tuktuk rental cost please?
This is the most beautiful thing in a few days :D ❤️🖤💓💜💚
thanks :)
