Shared ride

No shared van here

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

Eastbound, the shoreline unwinds the other way — Matara, Dickwella, Tangalle — before the road turns inland at Hambantota for Tissamaharama, timed nicely for a next-morning Yala safari.

  • Lagoons and salt pans around Bundala, busy with birdlife
  • Tangalle's quiet crescent beaches
  • Hummanaya blowhole near Kudawella
  • Dondra Head lighthouse at the island's southernmost point
  • Mirissa's whale-watching harbour
