Ella to Mirissa
Private transfer & shared ride — 173 km, about 3 hours door to door.
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 — 173 km, about 3 hours — to Mirissa's sweep of sand. Go private to break the trip where you fancy, or take the Wed & Sat shared ride to the south coast.
- Ravana Falls in the Ella Gap
- Buffalo-curd and treacle stalls along the southern plains
- Coconut Tree Hill at the eastern end of Mirissa beach
- Blue-whale boats leaving Mirissa harbour at dawn (November to April)
