5.00It was an amazing experience. The driver was not only super friendly but he also drove through an area where there were free-roaming monkeys and elephants so that we could watch and feed them from the car. Everything was perfect, thank you :)

5.00We loved our transfer from Colombo to Arugam Bay! Our driver Musajith was punctual, friendly and a good driver. He knows a lot about the area so we even got a quick safari experience! We drove through national parks on our route and he would stop at the elephants and monkeys and tell us more. Definitely recommend!
