| Getting Here |
|
We are on the southern tip of Sri Lanka about 190 kilometers from Colombo. We can arrange transport for you by private van (holds up to 5 people and luggage) for $120, that will pick you up at the airport and bring you directly to the center. The drive is 4-6 hours from the airport depending on time of day. Public transportation is also available. From the airport, take a bus to the main Colombo bus station, which is near the main train station in the Pettah(Fort). From there take a bus or train south to Matara, a large town 1 hour before Tangalle. We recommend the small, air- conditioned bus, which is quite comfortable, and costs about $3.00. From Matara either take a local bus to Tangalle, via the Mahawella road (on the coast), or a tuk-tuk directly here for about 1200 rupees. We are at Rocky Point Bungalows, in Goyambokka village between kilometer stone 193-194. With a tuk-tuk turn off of the coast road (A2) onto Palm Paradise road, three kilometers before the town of Tangalle. If you're arriving by bus, tell the driver to let you off at Palm Paradise Road. It is a short 10 minute walk to Rocky Point, just past Palm Paradise Resort. If you end up in Tangalle, just take a tuk tuk back to Rocky Point, a 10 minute drive. If you have any problems, please call us at 047-22-40834.
