Your transfer to Riff Hikkaduwa

Riff Hikkaduwa is in Narigama, 148 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 2 hours 5 minutes in normal traffic.

The quoted distance is measured to Hikkaduwa. Riff Hikkaduwa is about 2 kilometres south-east of the centre, and that last stretch is the part of the drive that varies with the hour rather than with the route. The fare is the same for any address in Hikkaduwa; a car crossing the city at half past four in the afternoon is not making the same journey as one arriving at dawn.

It is on the far side of Hikkaduwa from the airport, about 2 kilometres beyond the centre in a straight line, so the drive in finishes by crossing the city rather than stopping short of it.

For a sense of the shape of the journey: Riff Hikkaduwa is about 121 kilometres from the airport in a straight line against the 148 kilometres the road actually covers.

The nearest hotel on this site is Citrus Hikkaduwa in Hikkaduwa Beach, about 1.8 km away.

Day trips from Riff Hikkaduwa

  • Galle Fort — about 15 km away in a straight line. A walled Dutch colonial town still lived in, on a headland over the Indian Ocean. No entry ticket — you simply walk in. Allow half a day.
  • Unawatuna Beach — about 19 km away in a straight line. A sheltered bay just past Galle — calm swimming, and the closest good beach to the fort. Allow a few hours or a full day.
  • Madu River — about 23 km away in a straight line. A mangrove estuary of small islands reached by boat, with a cinnamon island and a temple among them. Kingfishers, monitor lizards and water the colour of tea. Allow a morning, 2–3 hours.
  • Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery — about 26 km away in a straight line. A working hatchery on the south-west coast where eggs are protected and hatchlings released. Five of the seven sea turtle species in the world nest on this coast. Allow an hour or two.
  • Bentota — about 36 km away in a straight line. River and beach resorts on the south-west coast, and the easiest beach day from Colombo on the expressway. Allow a day trip, or stay overnight.

How this transfer works

One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number and the arrival is tracked, so a delayed landing does not cost you the car.

The return leg from Riff Hikkaduwa is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 2 hr 5 min back to that.
