Pasikudha to Arugambay by Taxi

Pasikudha (Pasikuda) is famous for its calm, turquoise bay – perfect for swimming. Arugambay is the surfing capital of Sri Lanka. The two destinations are on the same east coast, but the road connects through Batticaloa, Kalmunai, Pottuvil, and finally Arugambay.

Our private taxi service covers the entire 210 km journey in 3.5 to 4 hours (depending on stops). Unlike public transport, you control departure time, luggage space, and air conditioning.

This service is ideal for:

• Solo travelers with surfboards.
• Couples seeking privacy.
• Families with children or elders.
• Small groups (up to 7 persons).
• Airport transfers (if coming from Colombo via Pasikudha).
