We can offer you a reliable, fully insured and nice transfer for a very low price.
But wonder what your idea and budget is?
Also what time is your flight?
Reason:
We have to pick one person up from the airport the next day and wonder if it’s worth while for our driver to wait that long there.
Just let us know.
My phone number is
0773 200 201
But I am at the old Siam View Hotel, in Arugam Bay anyhow.
Drop in!
Any night and we can discuss and arrange everything.

Hi Matt,
write the correct email please.
Sorry.
Our admins have decided not to publish phone numbers or contact details for now. We are forwarding all mail though.
Reason: Some weird ‘drivers’ contacted passengers and tried to pull a scam on them

Hi Fred,
is the other driver also from the taxi initiative?
I already agreed with Sanju that he will pick me up. But I like the thinking that a driver who is already there can bring me to Arugambay.
If Sanju is fine with this, I can go with the other driver.
Quick answer:
YES!
Everyone who is working with Sanju (Arugam Bay Taxi Initiative & Taxisurfr.com’s main owner-driver / sub contractor) is also an approved, vetted and reliable, good, honest and safe driver. You will have no concerns or worries.
We have also written to Steph.
And were graced with zero reply.
Our mail was to inform him that we have one taxi dropping one passenger off at 23:30 on the 19th night (tomorrow)
And that a/c vehicle and driver can wait for (both of -) you.
And take you back in sheer comfort to AbaY.
But:
What is your budget?
(Because he needs to wait 14 hrs…)

Hey,
My Boyfriend and I have to go back from Arugam Bay to Colombo Airport on the 5th of September. We just saw the post that someone is looking for people to share the ride.
The only problem is that our flight is very early in the morning the next day and we would have to leave around 04:00 pm from Abay.
Do you think it would still match up?
The trip is approximately 8 hours, right?
Thanks and best regards,

Aug 25, 2016, 1:23 PM
None of the Community support pages and taxi sharing sites
Don’t even bother to post here, on Tripadvisor.
Why?
Because “Big Brother T.A.” removes all links – to preserve their own Internet dominance.
Suggest to you all:
By-Pass that system and Google yourself.
That way you will find plenty of Taxi sharing sites and requests, plus a Super online booking page where you can reach AbaY for $100 or even less – with full insurance and money back guarantee.
We are fed up posting here – as they censor everything.

Hi, I’m really sorry that you have taken this so badly. I just wanted to share a website that is helping people to find a taxi share throughout the rest of the island and not just in Abay. Anyway, sorry again for any offence caused. I think life is too short for getting angry about a website and I can see that your business is something you try hard to protect 🙂 Best wishes!
Reply from us:
We now have 4 or more different e-mail addresses from you.
Like this one states: “jimissorry@gmail.com”.
None of them seems valid. If they were, you would have received our very positive response and invitation to cooperate with our Community pages and efforts.
To make this clear: We don’t run any “Business” at all. None of us gets even one single Cent out of this work, or taxi sharing Initiative!
But we do get attacked by all sorts of weird people – and that is why we need to ensure whom we lend our web presence to.
But thanks for your last post.
In future, may we suggest that you write a PROPER mail to us?
arugamtaxi& gmail.com
or
visitarugambay@gmail.com
always gets a reply!
Hey!
3 of us are travelling to Tissa tomorrow (23rd) and wondering if anyone also wants to join us in our taxi. We have been using the taxi share service so far and it has been great!

Regarding a spammer on our pages
How come then?
That “Fran”, “Jim” , “Terry” and all those other names are all from the same IP address?
And why was all mail we sent to the mail boxes you stated returned to us?
We politely asked for a few details – to try to cooperate with other genuine sites.
So as all mail ended up in non existing mail accounts we are obviously very suspicious of your honourable motives.
Sorry.
But under such circumstances your adverts can not be carried here.

Hi Lynne
Regarding your Abay to CMB journey, have you already booked a transfer? There are 2 of us who were thinking of going to Colombo on the 11th early morning, but I guess if you guys are leaving 10th night that will have to do.
How much is it? and what time were you thinking of leaving Abay?
Also would it be an AC van do you know?
Sorry about all the questions but looking forward to your reply.
Cheers
Avisha

Hi Avisha
Going tomorrow to see the driver we were hoping to leave around 10.00 pm on the 10th we are heading into Colombo itself not the airport in case that’s where you were needing to go – let me know so I can find out exact price – we have requested air con van. Whereabouts are you staying in Arugambay.

Hi Lynne
Thank you for getting back to me. Air con van sounds perfect. We will be arriving to A’bay tomorrow, not sure where we are staying but soon as I find out I will let you know.
We need to head in to Central too and not the airport so that works fine for us.
10:00pm is perfect timing. Please let me know the cost and I will confirm once you know.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Cheers

Hi Ghadi.,
We tried to go with you – but decided otherwise.
The rate quoted to us by a trusted taxi – owner driver is only Rs./ 14,900.
This is for a fully insured, double air-conditioned vehicle I am told. Friends just arrive in that one.
So we ordered that one.
Thanks.,

May 11, 2016, 9:52 AM
We’re a couple traveling from Colombo to Arugam Bay on the 23rd June evening. Is anyone there up to share a taxi?
Also, would anyone recommend any nice overnight stop on the way? or would you recommend to go straight to A-bay?
Thank yoou!
One response:
If you are arriving in the morning might as well do the full stretch. If you arrive in the evening might as well stay near Airport/Negombo and do the stretch following morning. OR say if you arrive in the afternoon nice stop would be Kandy. Cheers..!

The South season seems to close down and more surfers & travelers and vehicles come from there to Arugam Bay now. Today 3 mini buses arrived. Gone back to Hiklka empty.
Therefore you can get a half price return taxi with little problems.
Try to call 0777212630.
Maybe he has a return run or good deal for you.

Hi Olaf & Katrin,
The online booking system will not work for you.
As we need 24 hrs. notice to book.
Reservations are disabled for the any following day for this purpose.
Also sharing -at the last minute / day – is always more difficult.
If we have more time, we usually match other passengers up with you.
The normal rate Arugam Bay to Galle is
$140
But, if you are interested, we will check with your trusted taxi sub-contractors.
Maybe we can reduced that rate for you.
Just let us know your budget, please.

Hi,
I’m Michael (staying at Raffaella’s and Sudu’s place) – you organized a car for my parents to return to Colombo in Mid-April.
Now, unfortunately, my wife and I also have to leave Arugambay.
I need to go to the airport and my wife needs to go to Negombo.
Do you happen to know of a car that leaves Arugambay so that I can still catch my flight which leaves Jun 16, 18:50 (and can then take my wife to Negombo)? We would be happy to share a car, if possible.
Thank you so much,
Michael

Rate of just $55/day.
This is all-incl. of all charges and driver’s accommodation, etc.
And the generous allowance of 400km should cover the entire trip, to.

Dear Shana & All!
Just to make it absolutely clear:
We always try our level best.
Best. Not for us.
But for the promotion of Sri Lanka and of course ‘Arugam Bay’.
We try to unite people, and all taxi operators are welcome.
The aim is to offer
1.) A reliable, safe service
2.) Economical Trips and transfers
3.) Promote sharing to eliminate empty journeys
4.) Bring more guests all the way to the Bay
5.) So that they a HAPPY here – and spend more cash locally
We get not even ONE single Rupee out of this.
In fact it costs us (a lot of) money.
In time, as the new system works, we hope that the locals as well as airport drivers (called ‘Mafia’ in many foreign web sites btw !)will see the point.
Why?
Because eventually EVERYONE will benefit.
Please be patient.
Allow some time.
And you might see that a proven system, which works all over the world
Will also work here.
For the benefit of the Nation and our valued foreign guests.
And they are the ones who should be made welcome.
We are always happy to discuss improvements.
But for now, I feel that someone had to make a start.
Indeed. It’s for Real.
This is NOT an April Fool’s Day Joke:

Hello
How much would a taxi cost from Colombo to Arguam Bay ?
Thanks
Lucy
Answer:
Check our interactive web site.
Try to book your trip.
By default, all existing, confirmed and paid for transfers come up.
If the passengers have agreed to share the ride with you, there will be a link for you to contact THEM directly.
It is then between you both to sort out times and finances.
Usually everyone pays half, i.e. 160$ per trip divided by by the number of passengers.
But our role is just to try to inter-connect YOU
Usually the Arugam bay Taxi Initiative operates small mini buses.With at least 6 comfortable seats.
Full dual air-conditioning and plenty of space for surf boards and luggage
Here are some existing taxi journeys on this route. They have been paid for and are ready to share.

Hey,

Hope for an offer

Actually, Vic,
As from March and certainly April there will be DAILY transfers from the airport to AbaY and back.
Judging by experience from last year,that continues to october or so.
The 100% NON profit Arugam Bay Taxi Initiative has been set up to bring people together and encourage sharing the rides and costs.
We do not have the cash to maintain an expensive counter at the airport.
And we don’t send any vehicles all the way unless they are pre-ordered, using the online link on this page.
Why?
Because too often our poor drivers went all that way.Only to find out that there was no flight,no passengers: A wild Goose chase.
By default,any order placed invites other passengers. And that system usually works fine.
But someone has to take the initiative.
Our passengers are all very Happy with this safe,secure and economical arrangement.

Hi i am form germany
Came last year to arugam and we had a lot of problem with the local pottiville drivers.
They stopped our taxi in the middle of nowhere and threatened our south coast driver.
this time they said all is OK now – so we trusted them.
again a big mistake!
everyday i read your web site i saw your taxi sharing board damage.
Last raamashan day they had an attempted rape our friends said. At the point.
.can you notice your web site any guest be carfull for the traveling arugambay.
last week i came from abay to airport at the night time.
The driver talked all the time. Put stupid Tamil music on.
without asking us. just for him to stay awake. then stopped at a very dirty muslim “hotel” with stinking toilets. only to see his friends.
Not good. Every talk seems to be sex talk.
What is wrong with these guys?
Mail received.
From Giorgio:
(who has already booked and paid for his transfer to Arugam Bay on Monday, 4th August, around 21:00 hrs.)
He / they invite others to share:
Hello Guys,
and thank you for your value service!
Fine, I will look for Mr. Sanju just out of the arrivals.
Please fell free to offer a shared transport to Arugam bay through your website. Hopefully there will be other in the plane from AbuDabi to Colombo, looking for taxi to Arugam Bay.
Thank you and for any other information please keep contacting me at this address.
Ciao

Dear Quentin,
You mean July – Not June 2015, do you?
We want this taxi sharing scheme to survive!
So thank you for your mail & offer to share with us/ others.
We responded to Quentin’s request as follows:
Just to let everyone know.
Quote:
…… (other text) …However.
We will not take a local taxi for sure!
No matter how cheap.
Because we had items stolen out of our luggage last time.
Also the local mafia guys have destroyed the poplar sharing board.
We feel that we must make a stand against those bullies.
Often we can get a good, fully a/c airport taxi for just $80 / anyhow.
All the best,
P & S.
Hello guys,

In the mid day heat.
Me & my two girlfriends walked all the way from Beach Hut.
To the great “Taxi Sharing Board” at the SVH, opp. ‘Hang Loose’.
Only to find it having been destroyed.
A very helpful guy mentioned that all this is due to locals, who simply don’t see the oint and spoil it for everyone.
He suggested that I post my Sharing request.
Here it is:
I am Candy.
Staying at Beach Hut.
I need to be at the airport on Sat., 19th July at 10:00 am.
So.
Take me, if you leave any time on Friday pm!

Disgusting what those greedy, stupid arugam cowboy taxi mafia men are up to. they will never get any passengers taht way. lets move the board onto the internet where they cant interfere again

Thank You, Dear Sarah!
For your support and well expressed views.
We realise that many visitors are simply put off coming to Arugam Bay.
Due To:
1.) High Visa Fees ($30)
2,) High Transfer costs
Other Countries (Thailand, Indo, P.I., etc.) don’t have those high fees
Often it’s cheaper to fly into S.L. (from BKK, DXB, KUL,etc.) than the taxi across to Arugam Bay.
We try hard to attract nice visitors.
And we are very unhappy that this Community harbours some weird, uneducated guys who still don’t get the point.
That all we do is actually GOOD for THEM
(And costs us our own time, effort, aggro and also money)
We certainly get Nothing out of all this
Sarah Pinnock
Terrible!! Total greed… It’s a long way from the airport and not cheap. I saw an ad for taxi share which is why I flew out to SL last time or I probably wouldn’t have even been Abay. Down to u guys to sort this 1 I feel, we as visitors don’t have a lot of say.
Good luck many are very dishonest at the best of times

Hi Guys,
I’m looking to book a Taxi for 2 from Colombo Airport to Aragum Bay on Friday the 25th. There is just 2 of us and we’ll be landing at about 3am. My only issue is I’m not massively willing to pay $160 without knowing of any guarantee that the car will be there when we arrive? Is there any sort of “Pay on the day system”? or other method you guys have?
Sorry to be a hassle, just want to get it right!
Cheers, Max
Arugam Bay Taxi Initiative’s answer to the above:
Thank you, Dear Max.
We mentioned your mail and concerns here:

Unless we have a firm and paid for booking
Too many weird competitors have sent us on a wild goose chase in the past; sorry!
However, we never failed to meet any passengers.
Your payment is also safe.
With PayPal, Visa etc,
There is a solid money-back guarantee.

Hi,
i would like to stay in Arugam Bay and I’m looking for a taxi to share..
I will be in Trincomalee and I look for a taxi on 14 th or 15th of August for Arugan Bay. I would like to leave at 6am or 7am.
then i’ll depart from Arukan Bay on 16th in the afternoon for Kandy or Nuwara Eliya.
Let me know if someone is interested to share a taxi.
Bye,
iana
This good taxi Sharing concept is spoiled?
By short-sighted locals. Again.
Nothing new. those morons don’t seem to realize that less visitors will come, some will take the cheap bus, less money will be spent in the Bay. And the local community will suffer as a result.
In any event. This concept and good idea is worldwide now, in every resort. And will just more more & more away from locals and into the global Internet space. They will learn to embrace modern day thinking. One day.
Please post the names.
And the ‘hotels’ where those unlicensed Taxi guys at Arugam Bay operate from.
The ones, who object to this brilliant sharing idea!
Then everyone will know, who the greedy guys are.
And simply boycott them totally.
They will never ever get any trips anymore from an informed public.
Andrew, U.K.
Hi please up date your share taxi board. We not like going by bus .our important time lost. We dont want local taxi maffia we want sheare taxi .we want to go colombo air port next 15 in the morning we have 6 how much for one

Why the Taxi Sharing board at Arugam bay is no longer updated?
It’s all wiped off. We miss this brilliant service and will now take the bus back toColombo. Some one said it is the work of the local taxi mafia. If so: Boycott them!

Hi Elin,
We can publish you sharing request here:

We can also write that on the New Notice Board for you, which is situated at the Siam View Hotel in Arugam Bay itself, for all to see.
But we should have your contact details, like, where you stay, etc.
So that others can find you and link up.

we are two guys arriving to colombo 6th of june 08:30 am, and would like to see if there is anyone willing to share a taxi to split the cost.

This works fine!
My wife & me booked online.
the driver was there. On time.
They got us two more passengers, we got to know each other: great guys,
we split the cost of the 160 i paid.
All had a nice transfer and a good sleep overnight.
Everyone just paid $40 / each for this good a/c trip. Can’t beat that service.

Clarification:
There are no changes!
Only Improvements.
We are still a 100% non-profit taxi sharing and -coordinating Initiative.
We will work with anyone. Who is known to us as being 100% reliable.
We have added a “Book Now” facility to our system.
Because there have been incidents of false reservations, of rogue drivers pretending to be our trusted sub-contractor collecting passengers and even thefts from luggage, etc.
The list of approved and trusted owner-drivers is expanding, as we get more busy.
In the past, the three mentioned below have shown to be most reliable, loyal, safe and pleasant:
1.) Mr. Sanju
2.) Mr. Rana
3.) Mr. Shana
As more confirmed journeys are coming to in, we will be able to offer an even better service and arrange improved, PROPER sharing facilities.
This did not work as well as intended in the past:
The whole idea is to avoid empty vehicle trips,save fuel and the planet, save YOU costs, and create a safe, budget minded transfer to and from
The Bay of Arugam
Thanks for your support!
It will get even better – if you use our new, innovative
“Book Now”
system.
HI ALL !!
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GETTING A SHARED TAXI AS PAST YEARS !
JUST ASK FOR ARUGAM SHANA AT THE ARRIVAL LOBBY IN COLOMBO INTERNATIONAL AIR PORT

Answer by the admin of Arugam Bay Taxi Initiative:
We still wish to work with you, dear Mr. Shana!
You (& Rana &b Sanju) have been very good, and all of you supported the Bay for many years, even in the war time. We honour that!
A sharing system can not work with you doing your own thing.
What we need, and trying to do:
Is to establish a neutral “Taxi Trip Control” Centre.
Only then, when you drivers all work TOGETHER – we can offer a good service to our travelers.
And this, the latter
Is our mandate. And what we are here for.
Hi, I am arriving with 2 boards at the airport 11 pm on May 3 2014. Looking for others to share taxi to Arugam Bay.

We can recommend this new taxi service.
I used this taxi transfer service last weekend. 6 of us, all with boards. The driver was smart, profesional, on time, friendly.
a safe, good rip acrross, safe driving, no silly stops at the usual commission places, no silly music unless asked for, no sales talk: friendly! Even he had good english. the mini bus was older but the a/c too cold for us.
this is the right way forward!
Top connect Arugam Bay and make trips safe & more comfortable

Hi Fred & Arugam Bay Taxi Initiative!
thanks for your support during the summer. There was a lot of interest in taxigang and I would like to improve the service. The question is how?
Maybe you have some ideas. You mentioned that you had been thinking of a prepaid service. If this will help visitors and driver then we can do that.
Other ideas would be to have the profiles of trusted drivers with a description of their vehicle as well as ranking from other travellers.
I have put together a survey to try and get the opinions of as many people as possible. It takes about 30 seconds to complete.
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JJWBGJ3
If you are agreeable to this, perhaps you can post it and also put a link to it on your taxi page.
Cheers
Peter

Note from the Arugam Bay Taxi Initiative:
We welcome your comment, Nadana.
But we also have to let our clients know that you are NOT known to or approved by us (so far).
Loved my time in Sri Lanka, especially in Arugam Bay.
But at the last day strange things happend:
We managed a taxi driver to the airport, a person I knew before and that´s always fair and kind. But then strange people called him and threaten him to leave the town, created strange rules (only 4 people can go by car) and forced him not to bring us to the airport (at 1am / our plan was to go at 5am). After long discussion we started our journey but short drive after ABay a car overtook us and forced us to stop. 5 people came out the car and threated our driver with violence. The situation was really dangerous.
I think tsomebody should stop this mafia. Everybody can chosse which driver he will take, at which time and for how much money. So be careful when u are looking for a taxi.
Response:
Thank you.
For this valuable feed-back.
We hope that the people involved see the danger signs and re-think their own strategy.
It will be in the best interest of EVERYONE in the Bay
Hi there,
I am looking to get a taxi from Colombo airport to Aragum Bay on Saturday 14th September for myself and my partner. I was just wondering if you could quote me on this and I am happy to share with other people if it lowers the cost and you have other pick ups.

We wish to take no sides in this (possible) Taxi / Tuk Tuk issue.
All we are concerned about is the well being and happiness of our VISITORS.
Basically they are the ones who pay for a service.
And they are entitled to a good, honest & fair price product.
Visitors are our Ambassadors and our Community’s income
They – the Visitors – are KING.
THEY are FREE to chose whom THEY wish to travel with.
When, Where to and at what price.
It is – in our opinion – not in the interest of Arugam Bay (Sri Lanka’s prime resort to come!) – to bully or put any pressure on to anyone
I am inform arugambay tuk tuk and taxi mafia ,all media officers may be 1 or 2 week we can see good result
Sanju!
Be careful!
Arugam Bay now operates a “Taxi & Tuk Tuk Mafia”
Hope you are part of this deplorable practice – or they will also threaten you.
And those weird guys will also drive the tourists away to better places.

Good Morning, Quentin,
We have two vehicles coming from Colombo / and the airport tomorrow.
The one which leaves the airport at around 13:00 hrs. is quite full already. They are 4 surfers from Europe, and they all have their boards with them. Maybe. If you are small, and have no luggage it could fit
The other mini bus has just one passenger, so far.
She is in Colombo just for shopping tomorrow, and will return to Arugam Bay when finished with that.
How many are you?

Good day! My name is Dmitry.
Could you help me?
I need a taxi from Colombo to Arugam (beginning of) august for a 10 person.
We will come at 13:35 in EK-348 from Dubai
And (two days later) for 2 person
They will come in same flight EK-348 from Dubai.
Best regards.
Quick reply from Arugam Bay Taxi Initiative:
The two person transfer is no problem at all.
We can supply a good air-conditioned vehicle.
At any time of day or night.
10 Passengers however will not fit into the usual mini buses we employ.
You have an option to:
1.) Use two vehicles
2.) Order a larger, like 12 or 18 seater bus
We are happy to give you a quote on either.

Arugam bay to Ella or Nuwara Eliya

Hello, I am currently in arugam bay enjoying the sunshine, but my flight back to the UK is at midday on the 8th (this Saturday). I was wondering if I have time to fit in Ella or Nuwara Eliya before my return? I have been advise not to miss the latter! I will not be climbing Adams peak in Ella, is there any other reason to visit? What are the traveling distances to both from abay, and could you advise on public transport route please? I have heard the climate in both is potentially rainy so I was considering the overnight bus straight to Colombo on Friday night failing the visits, has anyone done this? What do you recommend? Thanks in advance.

Answer by ErikdR

Hi Yoni,
Bus to Wellawaya (generally they’ll continue to Hambantota) then bus to Monaragala and Pottuvil. I’d say the overall price below Rs 800 as they’re all non-AC buses. Will take you almost a full day however also due to the waits.
All the best,
Usually I do not read article on blogs, however I wish to
say that this write-up very compelled me to take a look at and do it!

The best way to travel to Arugam Bay from Colombo Airport is by taxi. That will cost approx. LKR 23,000 and take around 8-9 hours.
Alternatives are bus (first free shuttle bus from the airport to Katunayake Bus Station) to Colombo. Then train to Badulla and bus to Arugam Bay or one of the few daily buses from Colombo to Arugam Bay.

Hi, we are looking to share a taxi on September 13 from Arugam Bay to the airport. We need to be at the airport no later than 10:30pm on the 13th. I can’t quite determine how long it takes, so please advise on departure time from ABay. We would definitely like to share and reduce costs.

Answer from the Arugam Bay Taxi Initiative:
We always advise our guests to leave 12 hours before your take off time.
8 hours (max.) for the trip / transit in comfort
2 hours (min) for check-in proceedures & security checks
2 hours or so for Tyre changes, food or ‘Pit/ Piss-Stops)
12 hours is safe & good.

Taxi from Kandy to Arugam Bay
Hey all,
Planning on traveling from Kandy to Arugam Bay Sep 16 (fairly flexible though) and then Arugam Bay back to Colombo Sep 21 for a flight that evening. Let me know if anyone wants to join in the travels and/or share a taxi.
Looking to do some sight seeing, surfing, partying and general adventure!
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?threadID=2246282
We have already one possible explanation:
The sheer nature of this site is to share information. The down side to this is, maybe:
That again:
A so-called “Rouge or “Cowboy” driver scanned this page.
He pretended to be one of our trusted sub-contractors.
In fact he may well be connected to the ‘Tropicana” Hotel……
To avoid this kind of problem in future, a German Tourist suggested that we agree on a secret password in future to identify trusted and good personnel.
What do YOU think?
VERY good points, Dear Chris!
I am personally alarmed to read your comment.
And I am happy to post them, too.
To warn others.
Because:
We try our very best to give a good service, to try to inter-connect people etc.
If you wanted the Hideaway:
This is where you should have been taken to without any comment or other suggestion.
Please:
Be so kind and drop into our little place.
It is called SVH – or Siam View Hotel.
We will NOT try to take you from the good Hideaway or indeed sell anything at all to you – don’t worry!)
Al I wish is to have a chat, buy you a cool, fresh beer or two and get to the bottom of this.
And make sure that this kind of thing will never haopen to anyone else again in future,
Rgds

Arugam Bay
Hi there.
We arrived late last night by taxi. Can anybody give me an explanation why I was dropped off at tropicorner guest house as I clearly stated the hideaway hotel and the driver said he knew the place. Was this a cheap attempt to gain commission from a sub standard accommodation? Either way, the quality of driving mixed with the intentional incorrect drop off point I think deserves an explanation. Anybody care to respond with definitive answers?

Hey Guys,
first off-great service!
Now I have a question. I´ll be arriving in Colombo on the 9th of August at 13:30. I just checked your timetable of people looking for a sharing ride. There is somebody looking for a share ride called “Charl & Co.” on that day – but this person did not provide contact information. If you can get in contact with that person that would be great.
I am from Austria, travelling alone,lugguage includes a surfbag.
Cheers,
Sophie

Hi Daniella,
The rate is as mentioned, just $160.
This is for the entire air-conditioned taxi, a mini bus for all the passengers within.
We can supply any type of vehicle, at any time.
To take you from anywhere to any place on the island.
Colombo to Arugam Bay takes 6-8 hrs.; take 7 hours as a guide. At night is’s quicker.
Just let us know if you wish us, the Arugam Bay Taxi (so-called;-) “Control Centre” to arrange one of our trusted and reliable sub-contractors to welcome you at the airport.
Ourselves, we have no own vehicle and we get no benefit out of all this entire Initiative as you may know.
The sharing request, if any, is advertised for free on our various web sites and pages.
kind regards
AbHa & SVH Team
Arugam Bay
PS.: We are working hard on major improvements to serve our visitors even better very soon

Hi friends of Abay,
I would like to share a taxi from Abay to airport thursday, the 09.08.2012 early morning @ 7.00. Contact Patrick:
tricio@gmx.de
Funny really, Ms. Margo!
We are told that Herr Patrick just dropped into the place of our mentor, Dr. Fred @ the Siam View.
And asked the same-same question.
How to get in touch?
If you guys exchange e-mails, contact data or better still phone numbers:
No problem!
All will turn out OK – don’t you worry!
However:
Did you realize that it looks like Patrick wishes to travel on the same-same day?
But in the opposite direction….

Im flying into Colombo on 6th August and am planning to head stright to Arugum Bay to hopefully catch some surf! Was looking at ways to get there and seems as though a taxi might be the best option. So if anyone is around on the 6th/7th of August and is looking at headining in the same direction then let me know and maybe we could share a taxi and cost.
Also if anyone has any other info/advice on getting to A Bay then I am open to suggestions.

I am emailing to enquire about being picked up on Saturday 2nd June from Colombo Airport to be taken to Arugam Bay and if you could provide a quote.
Our flight number is WY 373 and we arrive at 16:25 at.
Its two guys, two Boardbags and two Backpacks to be transported, and it would be lovely if there would be more people to share with.
If you could provide a quote and whether this would be possible that would be most helpful,
Best wishes,
F XXXX
Many thanks for your quick response.
I would like to confirm that I would like to book your service and if you were able to split the cost by sharing with other travelers that would be very good.
Many thanks, I shall look forward to using your service on Saturday.

Be warned of rogue taxi operators!
Arugam Bay Taxi Initiative has been informed that some Imitators have pretended to collect passengers from the airport arrival’s hall claiming to be approved by us.
As flight data and names are published here, they have produced a board with your name.
Be advised, that you should check if the person welcoming you is indeed licensed to do so.
Best is to ask for his official airport ID badge or phone Mr. Shana on 077 88 8 88 77 to confirm.
Notice to taxi sub- contractors:
If you wish to link up with us, please ask for permission to do so!

I was wondering if it is possible to book a taxi from Colombo airport to Arugam bay on the morning of August 9th? The booking is for three people, but we are happy to share with others to bring the cost down.
Two of us are flying in from Abu Dhabi on the Eithad EY266 flight landing at 03:25am. The other person is flying in from Bahrain on the Gulf Air GF0002 flight landing at 03:55am. We will also be travelling with one 6ft6 coffin surfboard bag and backpacks.
Is it therefore possible to get a taxi leaving Colombo airport about 04:30am? And what are your rates for this trip?
Many thanks

You can post here or email me: nikolehtola@gmail.com
I’m going to spend a month there in Sri Lanka mostly in A-Bay for surfing. Would anyone have any recommendations for a longer term budget accommodation? Do you think it’s possible to arrive there without any reservation and get a place even though it’s peak season?
Thanks!
Niko

According to FlyDubai, I will arrive at Colombo airport at around 1am on Friday 22nd July and my plan is to travel back to Columbo Thursday or Friday.

Or do you have any other surfers arriving on Wednesday that I could share a taxi with?

Great post.. i am actually taking some of these into consideration
Any good & proper taxi contractor is free to operate here.
Unqualified people however, can not expect to be recommended by this Community Initiative.
Safety is important to us.
In particular we hope to exclude:
1.) Drivers with a bad accident record
2.) Unsafe vehicles with bald tyres etc.
3.) Drivers who steal from passengers
4.) Contractors who stop at tourist traps
5.) Speeding, hooting, aggressive street bully drivers
6.) Intoxicated drivers
7.) Drivers known to consume drugs
8.) Vehicles with inadequate insurance
Further, to uphold certain standards, we encourage
A.) Contractors who speak good English
B.) And at least one or two other foreign languages
C.) Who have a FULLY air conditioned vehicle
D.) Who refrain from playing their own choice of music
E.) Who do not hassle passengers for tips, donations
F.) Ask guests to enter business ventures with them
Indeed, any good driver / cleaner should never speak to its passengers unless he is asked to do so.
We encourage even more competition, resulting in very reasonable rates.
Well known it is, that we NEVER get any commission.
Shana, Rana, Sanjeeva, the professional Mambo contractors and many others seem to fit to meet these criteria.
And that is why we recommend their services.
Hate mail posters exclude themselves; that’s obvious.

…… are any other people to share the ride with, we would be happy to share the cost with other people. Again, here is our flight info:
The flight number is AK 255. It arrives in Colombo at 7:15 AM.
2nd may, 2011
Q:
what kind of car is that? we are already 3 people, so doesn’t seem to be enough space to share if its a regular car. is the car air-conditioned?
Usually a small mini bus with aircon is provided, due to large and large numbers of surf boards.
Up to, say, 5 or six passengers are no problem.
But if you have no boards, and you prefer, a normal, modern car can also be provided.
If you agree to the rate given, any type of vehicle will be provided, at any time, just for you.
The driver will wait for you in the arrivals hall.
Look out for the “Arugam Bay” sign!
All they need is your flight details.
Answer:
About 160$, Yulia
Offer to share the ride to others:
You save money.
Mayday greetings from
Arugam Bay
Hello,
How much a taxi service from Colombo airport to Arugam Bay will cost? We are 3 people with luggage and 1 surf board, arriving in the morning of 4 May.

My flight to Colombo arrives tomorrow at 7:15 AM. We’re either going straight to ABay or spending a night in Colombo and leaving on the 3rd. My girlfriend and I will discuss this morning and I’ll send you an answer by this afternoon. Also, if there were any people to share a taxi with on May 2 or 3, that would likely affect our answer, simply to cut down on costs.
Thanks again,

Wanna share a Van?
Colombo to Arugam Bay, Aug 13-15
Hi! I am an American here in Colombo with some friends. We are renting a van (with air-con) from Colombo to take a weekend trip to Arugam Bay. In the interest of lowering the price by dividing it amongst more people, we would love to share! Please call me if you are interested. We think it will be about 4,000/person roundtrip, but it depends on how many people we find.
We plan to leave Colombo Friday, Aug 13, around 5pm, and leave Arugam Bay Sunday, Aug 13, around 5pm. The journey should be about 8 hours by van.
Call me if you are interested! 0774813488
To Mike at SVH,
There will be booking on 15 Aug 2010 (morning) from Colombo to Arugambay, but it has not confirmed yet.

Let me know your thoughts on above option to arrange your tour on time.

Dear Giles,
Thank you for your email.
I am sorry I do not have any booking or trip on 28 July.
Therefore I do not like to offer you the normal rate that I charge for 02 guests per one way trip(Euro 150),because it is too much for a single traveller.
However that is the minimum I do charge to cover my expenses. I hope you will understand me.
Well, let me know your email to contact you, if I get any booking on the same date or any near date.
Thank you & Best Regards,

Sri Lanka airport taxis: A paradise of rent-seekers
Sept 22, 2009 (LBO) – Rent-seeking, the use of one’s time, knowledge and efforts to earn an income which is not directly contributory to the national wealth, has been frowned upon by economists for many decadesJagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University economist, branded India’s economy as a paradise for rent-seekers when India had everything under control, nicknamed ‘licence raj’, since independence in 1947 to mid 1990s.
He in fact coined the phrase ‘directly non-productive economic activities’ to describe India’s vast-spread rent- seeking economy.
Rent-Seeking is as Harmful as Money Laundering
Like money laundering, rent-seeking too is harmful, injurious and inimical to the good health of an economy.
However, the irony has been that, politicians in both developing and developed countries, while taking action on a global basis to outlaw money laundering, have by word and by deed promoted opportunities for ‘rent- seeking’ in their respective economies.
Hence, the recommendation which mainstream economists often make to policy makers in governments that a full-stop should be placed to rent-seeking if an economy is to grow on a sustainable basis has been largely left unheeded.
Normal Economic Activities
How does rent-seeking differ from normal economic activities? In a number of waysn a normal economic activity, all the people who are involved in the economic activity make a value addition to the activity thereby contributing to create wealth. Hence, the removal of anyone from the process would reduce the value and make it impossible for the activity to take place. In other words, everyone involved in the activity makes his or her living by adding to the value. Therefore, the payment he or she would receive for the services provided is not at the expense of the others.
Take, for example, rice production. Farmers produce paddy by toiling the land and using other types of inputs needed for that.
Millers buy that paddy and mill into rice consumable by consumers.
Wholesalers and transport providers bring that rice to the market and distribute among retailers.
Consumers buy rice from the retailers and enjoy a good rice meal.
All these people add value to rice at every stage and provide an essential service to the process of making it available to the ultimate rice-eaters. The removal of anyone from the process would interrupt its smooth functioning and impose hardships on others in the process.
For instance, if the miller is removed, either the farmer or the wholesaler or the transporter or retailer or the consumer has to mill the paddy before consumption. It is not impossible, but it entails an additional unwanted hardship that each party would impose on himself or herself.
Similarly, the removal of any other person from the process would require the others to devote their time, energy and effort to provide the service given by the removed person. Thus, in normal economic activities, all the people involved are essential, all of them add value to the production and payments received by all of them are fully justified.
Room for Rent-Seeking
How could this smooth economic activity be distorted, giving room for rent-seeking by some?
Suppose, hypothetically, the government makes it necessary for transporters to obtain a ‘transport licence’ to take paddy or rice from one place to another. To issue the licence, the government has to appoint an officer or establish a bureau. To police it, it has to set up road blocks at strategic places and appoint further officers to man them.
Then, it has to strengthen the judiciary and prison services to try and execute punishments on the violators. The salaries paid to all these officers or the costs of running all the bureaus do not add value to production of rice. Hence, they could be removed without affecting the production, transportation and consumption of rice. Since the government’s intervention does not add value to rice production or is not necessary for the process, the costs incurred thereon represent a loss where no one gains meaning a ‘deadweight’ loss and an opportunity for some people to earn a rent.
When people realise that earning this income is easy and convenient, everyone flocks to seek it, thereby creating a rent-seeking economy. Once it becomes wide-spread, it is impossible to dismantle it as has been experienced in many countries.
Though people appear to have been employed and doing a service, they, in fact, do not add anything to the national wealth and live on the wealth created by others. They eventually grow like a parasite that constantly feeds on the body of a person. Once the person is no longer able to sustain, both the person and the parasite will see their end.
The Dangers of Rent-Seeking
That is why economists frown upon rent-seeking and prescribe policies to eliminate it.
It reduces efficiency, induces people to use their resources unproductively for rent-seeking activities, contributes to create an underground economy and promotes money laundering. From a morality point of view, it also leads to immoral and unethical practices on which courts are subsequently called upon to pass judgments. Hence, once an economy becomes a rent-seekers’ paradise, its unproductive activities thrive and its production base dwindles, making it difficult for the economy to sustain itself. Eventually the old glory of the economy will become a matter in the past.
Rent-Seeking at Katunayaka Airport
The writer had a first-hand experience in rent-seeking at the official taxi service operated by the Katunayaka Airport Authorities.
Every airport has a taxi service (some even a coach service or a fast train service) to facilitate air passengers to travel from the airport to their desired destinations. Since most of the planes land in the night and other public transportation services are not available at that time, airports have assured safe, comfortable and convenient travel to passengers through their official taxi services.
In the case of foreigners, the quality of this taxi service is their first impression of a country.
Hence, countries have taken an extra effort to provide a quality taxi service at the airports, so that foreigners have an incentive to visit the country again and again. The countries desiring to promote tourism as a main economic activity have looked after their airport taxi service well. Some notable examples from the region are Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.
Taxi Counter Employs Unnecessary Staff
At the Katunayaka Airport, when one steps out of the Customs Barrier, there is a counter at which a passenger could hire an airport taxi. When the writer approached the counter, there were two male officers behind the counter and both of them were holding their hands to ears speaking on mobile phones.
None of them thought it necessary to service the customer who was now waiting at the counter. After about five minutes, one of the male officers, while still being on the call, waved his free hand to someone inside and a lady officer stepped to the counter to take the order from the writer.
The employment of three officers to write taxi orders at the counter was in stark contrast to the single-person manned taxi counters one could see in many countries. In fact in Singapore, the order writing counter has been completely abolished by creating a ‘taxi queue’ outside the terminal with only one facilitator to direct passengers to the appropriate taxis which also wait in line to receive passengers. The additional people who work at the counter at Katunayaka are, therefore, rent seekers who do not add value to the service and without whose service, the taxi service could well be run.
After the order has been produced on the computer print-out, another person has been employed to escort the passenger to the appropriate taxi along with the order paper. This person’s service appear to be essential, because taxis are not lined up in the order of the orders issued and passengers find it difficult to identify the correct taxi for which the order has been written. But, in a market where the taxis are lined up in some order and the order papers are issued in that order, this additional person’s service is not needed. Hence, though it appears that he is engaged in some service, the taxi service, with proper order of taxis lining up, could be run without him.
What one would find at Katunayaka are not taxis which one would find at other airports. These are simply box-like little vans which do not have air-conditioning and are incapable of smooth driving. On many occasions, in addition to the passengers, drivers too take upon themselves the chance to provide a free ride to their friends who also travel on the same route after completing their duties at the airport. Passengers, though unwilling and reluctant, do not have a choice and acquiesce passively. It raises the important issue of safety of the passengers if the travel is in the night.
Inducements for Private Rent-Seeking
The basic factor is that these box-service operators do not get enough business to sustain themselves. They do not get enough business because they provide a sub-standard service. Hence, the drivers try to negotiate with passengers some private hiring presumably without the authority or the knowledge of the airport authorities. According to the drivers, the box-like vans are owned by private operators who have registered their vans with the airport. Airport authorities too would have succumbed to the pressure from influential parties to register those sub-standard vehicles.
It is, therefore, a full-blown rent-seekers’ paradise at the Katunayaka Airport. But, the bad image which it has created in foreigners and other local passengers cannot be easily removed.
How to Eliminate Rent-Seeking?
The source of rent seeking is governments’ monopoly building in providing services and introduction of rules, regulations, licensing requirements and interventions in the market activities. All these are done by governments in the name of promoting and safeguarding public interest. But, they also generate unintended consequences in the form of breeding rent-seekers living on the wealth created by other productive workers.
Hence, to eliminate rent-seeking, the expansion of the governmental activities has to be stopped, if the governments have already expanded, a greater part of such activities should be handed to private people and if the governments need to handle some of them, they should simulate private sector in running those activities.
In addition, unwarranted rules, regulations, licensing requirements and intervention in the markets should also be dismantled or halted.

Please confirm.
Thanks
Friedel
Hey Jack I fly in early on 10th at 7:30am. Let me know if you want to split a cab I’ve contacted Shana via SMS. Can be picked up from Colombo negombo or airport. Cheers
That’s great Shana, I’ll be in touch today a.s.a.p. Qatar Airlines managed to forget to take my suitcase with them, so I’m anxiously waiting for it and I can’t set a foot out of my guesthouse in Colombo.
Jack
hello jack
0094 776792969 is my number
just let me know when you need transport to arugambay and what time
thanks shana .
Hey Shana,
can you mail me your number so I can call you? Or call or sms me, as Fred has my number and he knows that and why I want to visit Arugam Bay. Don’t know if it is wise to put my number here. It will be cheaper or easier to go to Trinco directly instead of returning to Negombo and leaving from there to Trinco again.
Jack
of cause its possible to arrange you a good taxi from negambo to arugam bay on 10th.
and also its possible to arrange from arugam bay to colombo.
also we can arrange you transport to trinco on 14th too (if you need)
I’m looking for transport to Arugam Bay om Sept 10th from Colombo/Negombo and to Colombo on Sept 13th (as I am going tot Trinco the 14th.
anybody looking for a shared taxi on 6th of september…?
hello matt,
you are lucky. friedel likes to share.thats no problem for us. its better if you can come to the air port,otherwise you will have to pay for the taxi from air port to negambo.so then see you on 12th.
how about your transport on 10th from air port to negambo?
if you need i can arrange you a taxi for 10th.
have a safe journey.
shana
Hello Matt,
thanks for remembering my mail. From my side you`re very welcome to share the trip. Maby we could pic you at your stay in Negombo/Colombo or you could come back to the airport on 12.September.
But I think the coordination should be and is best practicable by `Abay Taxi´ (shana).
Let`s wait her comment.
Regards
Friedel
P.S.: Thanks for the nice `frediel` – somehow a good nick 😉
the large numbers of tourist certainly has had its impact on places like batti and trico. i ve heard stories of pigeon island been full off people who are damaging the coral and polluting the surroundings with litter. in batticoloa its no better, my diving colleagues were saying that people are selling corals on the road. i go back to what my friend asha – a marine biologist mentioned, that there are some places that are just not for everyone – and we should just keep those places a secret or at least strictly monitored. there are some treasures in our island that needs to be ‘treasured’. if tourism is to be encouraged and development started in places like abay, then lets make sure its done properly with proper planning. anyway, see you on thursday fred.
Good article, good comment, welcome ping back.
In addition it may be added, that there is consideration for some time to open a new airfield close to Arugam Bay itself.
Arugam.info may publish the entire content, as it is relevant to the Bay itself.
A perfect landing strip actually exists already locally, with aircraft approach across the lagoon.
Environmental considerations, however might delay or stall this idea, which would most certainly give a tremendous boost to the neglected region.
Hans
PS.: The Google search reveals results as mentioned, but depending on which Country you’re in. Try to change your location and observe different suggestions.
Pages from Sri Lanka, for example, would be top ranked in S.L. itself – but appear almost nowhere abroad.
“Opening up” and easing access may certainly create economical benefits to the area but the inevitable result is a eventual deterioration of the very attractions that make a site a destination. And sadly, sooner than later that economic benefit consolidates in the hands of a few, usually unscrupulous characters. Consider such once beautiful places like N’Eliya and Hikkaduwa during the ’season’ – the chaos, the garbage, the sanitation nightmares, the boorish conduct… of the tourist, we have such a long way to go.

This is the complete text of the ping back mentioned:
There is a lot of talk about opening up the treasures of Sri Lanka’s neglected east coast (such as Arugam bay/Pottuvil) to the wider world. However one of the biggest obstacles to such a process it getting there. Currently Arugam bay/Pottuvil is a 8 hour drive from Colombo – which doesn’t compare well with the 10-11 hour flying time from Colombo to London. The combination of regular domestic air services to Ampara airport and local entrepreneurs can remove this major logistical hurdle to developing this area.
Ampara airport is not exactly new door to Arugam bay. Yet it is the closest runway accessible via the existing road network. Current transport services such as the AbaY Taxi – which currently specialises in travel from Colombo airport to Arugam Bay – are well placed to make the air bridge viable.
The end of the war has highlighted the pent up demand for domestic aviation services in Sri Lanka. Even the Sri Lanka Air Force has got into the domestic aviation market to fill the demand for flights to Jaffna. Currently it seems that the supply constricted by war time restrictions, and is slow to meet the demand. Jaffna understandably remains the political and economically viable priority. Currently the only arial access to Arugam bay seems to be charters via Deccan Aviation (Lanka) which is not for every pocket.
Hopefully, the entry of further actors into Sri Lanka’s domestic aviation market will make flight affordable, and additional destinations more viable. Arugam bay’s tourism potential, and Ampara airport seems to offers a ready made market for those willing to take the first steps. As with most things in the process will not be so straight forward. Easier access to the wider world will have consequences to the way of life in Arugam bay. Start typing “arugam bay” into google and you’ll notice that among the most popular search term prompts are “arugam bay real estate” and “arugam bay land”. Yet the consequences of peace and the inevitable changes must be faced. Ideally with a calm mind and healthy optimism. On the positive side, the basic ingredients of making getting to Arugam Bay and Pottuvil easier and financially viable already exist.

I will have transport to Arugam Bay, but I am looking for 2 seats on a trip from Arugam Bay to Colombo on Tuesday the 25th of August. Could you please tell me whether this is available, and if so, what time it would depart and how much would it cost?
Thanks a lot,

ABTI Answered:
Dear Miss J XXXX,
Rest assured!
Taxis leave Arugam Bay for Colombo and the airport, every day!
The new established, green terminal is in the very centre of Arugam Bay, located at the #50 SVH, directly opposite #52 Subash Beer Bar (Meena’s).
Return in a good, fully air conditioned van, taxi or minibus with a very polite, safe, approved driver from the airport pool will cost only around 8,000Rs./ or about (70$) (48Euro) (37 Pounds) or less!
But that is for all of you!
Share it to safe costs.
hi chris,
of cause we will arrange you a good taxi from air port to arugam bay.

hello there,
shared taxi available on 15th of august.
are there anyone looking for a shared taxi from the air port to arugam bay on same day?
cheers
chamila
dear friedel,
i have checked on your missing mail submissions.please be informed that mail sent from “freenet.de” often have some sort of advertisement attached,like a freenet lottery ect.
perhaps it is unknown to you? the result,however,is that most mail automatically ends up in various spam filters.
this is because the system thinks it is nothing but an advertisement, sent out daily to millions of people.
we suggest telling freenet about it,or change to a better provider.
we recommend gmail,because that seems to be the best we know of at present.
kind regards,

Included having the driver for 5 days staying with us. Did however pay for his food and accomodation. Had 5 people so when we split it it became quite reasonable.

Hi All!
Arugam Bay – Trip 3 for the season has been scheduled.
– Departure from Colombo – 3rd July (Friday) 1 AM to reach Arugam Bay by 8 AM (Just early enough for a surf session – sleep in the van if you need to on the way)
– Departure from Arugam Bay – 6th July 3 PM to reach Colombo around 11 PM (ish)
Dilsiri
Weird taxi’s. I think i am not comfortable to ride that kind of transportation..
We leave THURSDAY 7th MAY 2 AM to Arugam Bay
Return SUNDAY 10th MAY 6 PM in Colombo
Have room for 4 people. We split the cost equally – roughly Rs. 3,000.
Call 0773 686 235
hey – is this eraj as in my number 10s brother? if so call me – 0773 686 235. yes, must do lahugala and the boat trip. fred, will buzz you – certaily would like to surf or at least visit all three points (okanda/panama). the east coast is sooooo pretty. i hope it stays the same and not get destroyed through unregulated developement.
fred, for the moment could you tentatively have a van kept for us (8 persons) with surfboards and gear.
met saman from sun n surf today in colombo. nice guy. anyway, eraj do call me.
Lahugala is fine. And it’s open & free, too.
No organized tours. But all ancient places are accessable and open to the public.
Okanda?
My advice is to consult fisher folk from Panama.
PottuVille people might not be aware of latest developments.
Such as the recent ‘incident’ near Panama when a group of Tamil fishermen were found murdered.
This was not reported widely.
And, as usual, there are opposing stories and explanations.
I, as a Sudu, totally neutral in this island’s conflict, feel perfectly safe, anywhere, and go where I want.
You will have to monitor the situation locally with the correctly informed people before you venture out further afield.
Hey Dilla
I will be in Abay from the 07th (morning)thru to the 10th. lets try meeting up…. if your taking the boat to Okanda tell me I will most certainly join. Am trying to organise one thru a friend of mine in Pottuvil.
BTW Fred do you think Lahugala is a worthwhile junket.. bit of a wildlife fan but haven’t been to lahugala in about ten years. But would like to visit the ancient shrine over there.
Nice. As I mentioned might need a col – abay – col trip. Have to explore Okanda and would be super cool to go in the boat to Panama….is there spear fishing? is it permitted? Also does Abay have coral reefs for snorkling. let me know. pretty excited again.
Hi Dil,
As you may know, 10,000Rs./ or so is the current transfer rate.
CMB-AbaY. All drivers we know and all vehicles have roof racks of course.
Panama never has been any problem – unless you chose drivers which refuse to pass a normal village cemetery.
Okanda also OK, for guys like me.
For you, the STF might advise to take a nice boat ride along the coast.
From Panama to Okanda it only takes 30 Minutes and is well worth it.
Cheers
Fred
Hi Fred,
A couple of friends hoping to head to abay during the long weekend. probably leave col on 7th april night and stay till 10th sunday morning (to be back in col by nighttime).
How much do you think a van would be for a col – abay – col ride. In addition if we’d like to venture to okanda and panama is that possible?
Also, we have a couple of surfboard to load – hope the driver wont have a problem strapping them to the roof – we have all the gadgets for that.
Let me know,
Dilsiri
hi fred, trust me, i will be back sooner than you think. already blocking off a weekends. i too have hope about the place and yes, developed wisely it has a lot of potential for all members of the family – not neccesarily surfers.
No problem for me, Dil.
Thanks for letting me know.
From Yohan’s #40 feed-back I see reasons for your early departure.
I regret that you came to the Bay at a time when in my words: “We advertise a resort, but we still don’t really have a decent product”. Even the rain was untypical!
Things will change, we all learn. Also from valuable comments!
And from constructive suggestions.
But it was good you made the trip – hopefully you agree that Arugam Bay does have a potential to be a great resort.
One day.
hi fred, sorry we had to push off to colombo a bit earlier (around 11 AM) hence we couldnt meet up to sort out your network issue. my apologies. it was a nice trip but i guess its going to be much more prettier during the next few months when the season is in full swing. will definietly be there soon. thanks, dil
hahahahha! thanks fred. we leave in 3 hours! yikes i need pack my bag!
No worries, Dil!
Teresa and Rana will pick up up. They have a couple of free seats.
If you break down somewhere in the jungles that is…..
Just waive your white handkerchief and they will stop….;-)
Failing this:
Call me and I collect you all in my old VW camper bus. From anywhere.
Day or Night.
See you in da Bay!
Cheers
Fred
i just took leave 🙂 ya, see you at abay….wonder how i’d figure out who you are!
ah lucky you, we still gotta work Wednesday, hope to meet you guys there then, have a safe trip. teresa 🙂
hi teresa, we intend to leave 3 AM on the 8th – guess we’ll be there a bit earlier! haha. Thanks Fred for the info 🙂
Hi Dil,
We’re planning to leave wednesday evening around 10pm or 11pm from Colombo 8. I guess that’s too early for you but we can def meet up in arugam bay, I’m sure we’ll find you 🙂
Still 2 seats available also for going back monday 13th, if anyone is interested please leave a message below.
Teresa
Hi Dil,
Good to learn, you are on your way East!
To coordinate with Teresa you can call Rana as above.
As far as I know he is got this particular contract.
(1.) Mr. Rana, from Tangalle: 0777 904 380)
The Road is open day & Night; No problem there.
Even yesterday, when there was a clash somewhere in jungles of Lahugala (nr. 10 mile post) No interruption was noticed and traffic was safe as ever.
You should reach ASbaY around lunch time: Great!
There are a few long boards to hire, yes.
Better bring your own. If you have.
Let’s hope the weather is OK – it has been raining a lot today; very untypical for our Bay.
Give me a quick call when you are here & we can meet up for a chat or beer.
Cheers
Fred, SVH
hi teresa,
we are heading up as well. just wondering if your vehicle and ours would like to travel together…..safer in numbers perhaps.
or, lets just meet in abay! i ll be the one with a kite!
dil
hi there,
fred, i am finally coming there. planning on 8th to the 15th or so. if we leave colombo around 2 AM we should not have a problem getting there – in terms of road closure etc?
good to hear the swell is good. my friend wants to learn, there should be long boards for hire for a week or so right?
hows the wind? thinking of bringing the kitesurf gear as well……
see you soon.
dil
Message from an existing, pending booking and transfer:
BTW if you know someone who would like to go on the 8th April, 2009 to Arugam Bay and needs a ride we still have 2 seats available as far as I know now. We’re trying to ‘recruit’ more but as it looks right now, there will be 2 seats unused. Splitting costs would help a lot as you know.
Thanks so much for everything again.
(Leave message for Teresa below)

Hi ABay fans. Contact the foll. for rates to Arugam bay.

Thanks very much. See you soon. Very much looking forward to it.
Cheers
I agree to other people joining the trip. If there is any interest shown I would be happy to wait around for at least a couple of hours depending on the movements of other interested parties. What is the cost of the trip?
Fred
I would like to book a pick up and transfer from Colombo to A-Bay on Wednesday 15th October. My flight arrives at 8.15am.
Cheers
thanks for the info,i’ll call him.
if anyone wants to join us,we’re two,contact me here or via email or we can just meet at the airport sunday morning around 5am.
The rate is OK and normal.
If we can find returning passengers it will be cheaper for all of you.
To double check,you can also call another driver, Mr. Rana on 0777 904 380.
He has a very good mini bus, drives safe and speaks good English. He is in Colombo today.
by the way…i spoke to a driver i met in a previous trip,he’s askin’ for 160usd.is anyone knows if that’s the price?
planin on goin 2 aru on 10th o 11th.

hi! hoping to go there for the comin long weekend… want to really experience things, so decided to bus it! 🙂 anyone know from where to get it? and maybe wat time it leaves from colombo?? hoping to leave 10th oct. Thanks!!
Arugam Bay Hotel Association (AbHa) can recommend the services of Mr. Shana.
He is an accredited tourist and taxi guide based within the airport arrivals hall.
He has assisted our passengers for many years with no complaints to date.
We certainly are happy to expand our mutual cooperation to safe costs, offer an even better service and to minimize fuel consumption by avoiding empty runs across the island.
Call AbHa on 94 773 200 201 or Shana direct on 94 722 159 719 as indicated in the previous comment.
Airport to Arugam bay drop assistance.contact 94722159719.
hi, thanks for your reply and info, i won’t land in columbo till noon on the 23rd now, are any other pick ups arranged for this date? if you get a few what are the likely costs? i am an extreme shoestring traveller, but bomb stuff is puttin me off getting on the beautiful and cheap train to badulla and then a bus!
thanks again!
give me a price!!
What’s your budget, Nat?
Quicker & safer than with us you will not reach AbaY; the CTB bus is cheaper of course, but takes ages, not at night and not so safe I’d say.
We are happy to wait for you if you chip in a little to cover the diesel costs.
Simply call me on 0773 200 201 when you are ready to leave for the Bay.
The girls are with me – so they are happy to extend their shopping trip; No worries for Monday or even Tuesday.
Tks for you #60 Lahiru Comment!
This is the kind of interaction we are looking for.
Cheers
Fred & Co.
i just noticed theres a ride from columbo on th 21st, i land about 2 on the 22nd….would it be possible to wait a day? I’d like to do it as cheap as possible. When i was last in abay i heard of a local bus that does this run, does anyone know anything about this? Is it safe with recent events? thanks very much.
hi, i would also be interested in getting picke up from colombo. What sort of price am i looking at? It would sometime on the 23rd of spetember.
any info will be good. ta
hi fred, might actually be interested. stay for a week there….hmmm
#Stef
Simply call 0773 200 201 when you are ready to leave Colombo.
We will be in the city that weekend for sure.
I always drive myself (No local driver = quicker thru check points etc.!)
We are happy if you wish to join us.
Fred & Somlak,
SVH, Arugam Bay
Hello is anyone travelling from Colombo to Arugam on Sunday, 21st of September. Would be nice to share the trip! Best wishes, Stef
High! Arrvinda,
At present the waves are good, so everyone is busy in the surf at Arugam Bay.
Also, there is a bit of Live Music and sing-a-song most nights at the SVH.
Weekends, like Saturdays, Mambo hosts a party or two.
Same on Full Moon Days/nights of course.
Up to the end of October we expect this (mini-) season to last:
So you and your mates are most welcome, at any time.
If you need transport, we have a van or two in Colombo every week.
Cheers
Fr4ed,

Hi Pat,
If you wish to order a taxi we are certainly happy to have a good vehicle waiting for you upon arrival.
Simply let us have your flight number and arrival time.
The driver will welcome you in the airport greetings hall.
Look out for an “Arugam Bay” sign.
The costs will be 16,000Rs/ (100Euro).
If you are on a budget and don’t mind to wait until next morning the costs can be reduced, as we are dropping 5 guys off at the airport on Thursday early morning.
Please advise us by calling: 0094 773 200 201 or send mail to:
ArugamTaxi@gmail.com
Hi Mag,
Do you mind to wait for the above connections?
Maybe join forces with Pat?

I need to stay in Colombo the 2nd of sept in the morning to make my indian visa extension, then I’ll be able to go to Abay. That’s why I can only leave Colombo at the end of the morning! I plan to go back in Colombo the 14th of September, to go back to Delhi. Anyone interested?
Mag
hi mag,
i am trying to see if my company would let me take ‘leave’ from work. so you plan to leave on tuesday….when do you plan on returning to colombo?
would anyone like to leave Fri Night and come back to Col maybe on Tuesday?
Dil
We are a couple and wish to travel to Kandy this weekend; Friday oir Saturday.
Any offers of a cheaper lift?
Contact Steve at Rocco or Fred at the SVH
Hi,
Anyone heading up to Abay 2nd week of September? Fred, is it still season in September? Is there good wind for Kitesurfing? Hmmm.
Dilsiri
Perfect , see you soon
severin
Hi Severin,
sounds good to me and makes it cheaper for all of us 😉
we are arriving with flight RJ0194 at 04:20am and want to go to A-bay as fast as possible too. Any idea where you are going to wait for us? Colombo Airport is not too big as far as i can remember so i think it will be hard to miss three guys with surfboards… anyway if you have an idea where you are going to wait just let me know
see you at the airport
greetz Ronnie
Hello Ronnie,
actually I think I could wait for u guys and share the 4 of us a minibus straight to Arugam bay.
What do you think?
Cheers
severin
Hey guys,
its more than 6 years that I’ve been to Abay the last time so I thought I gotta come back. I’m arrivin August 14. at 04.20 am together with 2 friends – is there anybody that can pick us up please?
cheers ‘n greetz
Ronnie
Eehhh Folks!
It’s got to be said:
What I like about this site is that it is right up-to-date!
Unlike old stagnant web pages
And the idea of saving fuel and empty runs also makes sense to me.
Keep it going, man!
Dudley
Arriving am on 1st Aug & looking for a cab share to Arugam. I have with me soft board racks that fit any car.
Hi guys,
I need a seat to go to A-bay from Colombo Airport on 29th July.
Please let me know if there is a seat for me.
And I have a long board with me.

whos_thatguy@hotmail.com
See you on the 24th.
Guy
Guy,
yep it’s still on. I don’t have an exact price but reading around I figure the total cost will be roughly $100US. Split three ways so about £17! If anyone else wants to be the fourth – let us know….
The plane arrives in Colombo at 08:30, what time will you be arriving?

thankyou for the info and hope to see you soon.. Take care Beardie
fred, i will come after august 10th 🙂 after my exams!!!!! 🙂
thanks for the info fred
is it safe? thinking of heading there this weekend…would you know anyone coming up? is salla – aka – arrrrvinda?
Good to see you here again, Salla!
It’s nice to see your comments, too.
There are frequent buses from Monaragala all the way thru to PottuVille – so you should not need to invest into a Tuk-Tuk ride – unless you want to do so.
Weather and security are as good as guaranteed to be fine, don’t worry:
It will not rain, the swell will be good, there are plenty of cheap beds around and most of all you will be very safe here in the remote little Arugam Bay
Have a great trip!
Cheers
Fred, SVH Team
