A comfortable, fixed-price transfer between Unawatuna and Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) near Colombo — the journey most visitors to the Galle coast book first, and the one we drive most often.
Bandaranaike International Airport at Katunayake sits just north of Colombo, roughly 140 kilometres from Unawatuna. Thanks to the Southern Expressway, which you join near Galle, the drive takes around two and a half hours in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle — far more relaxing than changing buses and trains with your luggage after a long-haul flight.
We build every airport transfer around your flight. For arrivals, your driver tracks the flight in real time, waits at no extra charge if you land late, and meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board so there is never any confusion after immigration. For departures, we plan your pickup time backwards from check-in, allowing for expressway traffic and a comfort stop, so you reach the terminal calm and on schedule.
The fare is fixed and quoted up front — it covers the vehicle, fuel, expressway tolls, and your driver, with no meter and no surprises at the end. Travelling with family, a surfboard, or extra luggage? Let us know when you book and we will send a vehicle with the right space. Early-morning and late-night flights are no problem; we run these transfers around the clock.
