Colombo Airport (CMB) to Arugam Bay Taxi
A full cross-island crossing, from the west coast airport all the way to the east-coast surf. It's the longest transfer we run and easily the one we know best — Arugam Bay is our home base, so this is our own road. Surfers usually take it in one go; everyone else tends to break it in the hills.
