Colombo airport to Galle transfer
Galle is about 150 km south of Colombo airport but only two and a half hours away, because the southern expressway covers almost the whole route to the Dutch fort and the south coast beaches.
What the Colombo airport to Galle drive is like
You skirt Colombo on the outer circular road, join the E01 southern expressway and run straight down to Galle. It is the smoothest long transfer in Sri Lanka, which makes it a good choice after a night flight.
Stops travellers add
- Bentota for lunch by the river
- Hikkaduwa beach
- A turtle hatchery near Kosgoda
Which vehicle?
Beach trips mean bigger bags. A car works for two, but families heading to Unawatuna or Mirissa usually want a van for the boards, buggies and suitcases.
