The transfer: Arugam Bay to Ella

Your driver picks you up directly from your hotel or guesthouse in Arugam Bay and takes you to Ella in one private vehicle — a door-to-door transfer with no shared rides or changing vehicles along the way, ending at your accommodation in Ella.

Journey time can vary depending on traffic, road conditions, route and stops, so it's worth building some flexibility into your travel day — your driver can advise on timing when you book.

This route suits travellers moving on from the surf coast to the hill country — Ella is known for the Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam's Peak and the Ella Rock hike, and a private transfer means you can set your own departure time and make stops along the way if you'd like.
