• GETTING TO ARUGAM BAY
If you are looking for a comfortable journey and avoid traffic, hiring a private vehicle is the best way to get to Arugam Bay. Our fleet encompasses an array of cars, vans and minibus for hire. Travellers may book one of them according to their passenger count, comfort and budget.
Usually, the shuttles leave from the designated pick-up point, Colombo Bandaranayake International Airport. Upon your arrival at the airport, you will meet our driver. He will warmly welcome you and direct you to the vehicle. From there, you will head to Arugam Bay. The drive usually takes 6 to 8 hours, depending on the traffic, weather conditions and your arrival time. Travel comfortably as you enjoy the scenic backdrops, rolling mountains, and lush green foliage.
• AIRPORT PICK-UP
We will drop you an email confirming the taxi details, taxi number, name of our representative and other necessary information before you arrive in Sri Lanka. Upon arrival at the airport, clear your luggage and look for our representative carrying a welcome signboard with your name on it. He will meet and greet you and take you to the vehicle. From there, you will leave for your destination.
