Private transfer to Kandy
Your driver collects you from your hotel or guesthouse in Arugam Bay and drives you directly to Kandy in one private vehicle. It's a door-to-door transfer, ending at your accommodation in Kandy — no shared rides, no changing vehicles partway.
Journey time can vary depending on traffic, road conditions, route and stops, so build some flexibility into your travel day — your driver can talk through timing when you book.
Kandy is Sri Lanka's hill-country cultural capital, home to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, Kandy Lake and the Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya — a popular stop for travellers continuing on from the east coast into the island's cultural triangle.
