Arrange a private airport transfer from Colombo (CMB) Airport to Why Not Backpackers with Lakpura. Your English-speaking chauffeur-guide meets you in the arrivals hall and drives you straight to your hotel in Mirissa City in a private, air-conditioned vehicle — no shared rides, no waiting for other passengers. Estimated travel time is about 3 hours 35 minutes, over a one-way distance of 178 km; your chauffeur takes the best route on the day depending on traffic and weather.
Mirissa is a small coastal town on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, known for its sandy beach and as a base for whale-watching excursions.
