Day 1 & 2 – Airport / Negombo

It will not be hard to find your driver. Look for the person holding a nameboard that displays your name at the airport arrival section. He will assist you with your luggage and escort you to your first stop, Negombo. The small fishing village facing the lovely Indian Ocean is a tried and tested remedy for jetlag.

The Negombo stay remains unscheduled allowing you to get some rest, but if you like to make some excursions, we can arrange a boat safari in Muturajawela, a fish market visit, or a Colombo city tour.

Travel time from airport to Negombo – about 30 minutes
