No shared van here

We don't run a shared van between Ella and Mirissa, and it isn't a route travellers pool either. A private transfer covers it door to door at a fixed price — and for three or more it often works out close to a seat price anyway.

Ella to Mirissa trades thousand-metre tea country for a palm-backed bay: the road drops to Wellawaya, then runs fast across the southern plains to Mirissa's sweep of sand. Go private to break the trip wherever you fancy.
