Getting to and from Trincomalee

The east coast is reached across the middle of the island rather than around it, and the road runs through the dry zone by way of Habarana. It is a long day whichever way you come, and the surface is good for most of it. The east has its dry season when the west has its wet one, which is why the journey is worth making in the months when the south coast is not.

Arranging a pickup

The town and the beaches north of it at Uppuveli and Nilaveli are some way apart, and a booking that just says Trincomalee can mean either. The harbour side is a working port rather than a resort, so give the beach name if you are staying on one.

Going somewhere else?

These are the journeys we are asked for most. We drive anywhere on the island — enter your pickup and drop-off for a fixed price.
