A Warm Welcome to Sri Lanka

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for services that make traveling with kids a breeze. So, when I heard about the Airport Transfer Service in Hikkaduwa, I knew I had to give it a try. Our journey began at Colombo airport, where we arrived at the rather ungodly hour of 1:00 AM. Despite the late hour, our driver was there, waiting with a friendly smile and a sign that read “Mahesh Tours and Taxi Service.” It was a relief to see him, especially after a long flight with two sleepy kids in tow.

The driver was incredibly helpful, assisting us with our luggage and ensuring we were all comfortably settled in the car. The vehicle was spotless, and the air conditioning was a welcome respite from the humid night air. As we set off towards Hikkaduwa, I couldn’t help but appreciate the smooth and safe driving. It was clear that our driver was experienced and knew the roads well, which is always a comfort when traveling with family.

Comfort and Convenience on the Road

One of the highlights of our transfer was the pleasant conversation with our driver. He was not only professional but also friendly and engaging, sharing interesting tidbits about the local culture and sights. It was like having a mini-tour guide right there in the car with us! This made the journey to Hikkaduwa not just a transfer, but an enjoyable experience in itself.

The service was incredibly accommodating, offering stops for snacks or restroom breaks if needed. This flexibility is a godsend for families, as anyone with kids knows that unexpected stops are often part of the travel package. The driver even offered to help us with buying a local SIM card and exchanging money, which was a thoughtful touch that made settling into our new surroundings much easier.

A Service Worth Repeating

The best part of our experience was the affordability. The price for the transfer was significantly lower than other services we had considered, which is always a bonus when traveling with a family. We were so impressed with the service that we decided to use them for our subsequent travels from Hikkaduwa to Unawatuna and then back to Colombo Airport.

Each trip was as seamless as the first, with the same level of comfort and professionalism. It’s not often that you find a service that ticks all the boxes: punctuality, comfort, safety, and affordability. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Airport Transfer Service to any family traveling in the South of Sri Lanka. It’s a stress-free way to start and end your vacation, allowing you to focus on making memories with your loved ones.
