Shared ride

No shared van here

We don't run a shared van between Mirissa and Ella, 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.

The reverse run swaps sea level for thousand-metre air: across the plains to Wellawaya, then up the hairpins of the Ella Gap — beach towel to jumper along the way.

  • 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)
