The easiest way to get to Arugam Bay from Colombo is by car/van. When you arrive at the airport a dedicated driver will meet you and give you a ride to the surf camp by air-conditioned private taxi.
The drive usually takes 4-5 hours, but could be shorter depending on traffic and weather conditions and at what time of day or night you arrive. Upon departure you will get a ride back to the airport.
You will travel across the island from the west coast to east coast, so along the way you can see a lot of the inland country, such as the beautiful mountains and tea plantations.
We will drive through Udawalawe National Park, where you might even see a wild elephant only one meter away from you.
