Private Transfer from Ella to Arugam Bay

Swap mountain mist for ocean spray. This 140 km journey takes you from Ella's tea-garden charm to Arugam Bay—one of the world's top 10 surf destinations. The route descends from the highlands through dramatic climate zones: cool hills give way to dry jungle, then savanna, before the Indian Ocean appears on the horizon. Arugam Bay's laid-back vibe, consistent waves, and beach bars await. Our vehicles can transport surfboards (roof racks available for longboards), and we drop you right at your beachfront guesthouse. Peak surf season runs April-October, but the beach is beautiful year-round.
