Hiriketiya taxi service

Taxi Service in Hiriketiya for Surf Trips & South Coast Tours

Tucked into a perfect little horseshoe bay near Dickwella, Hiriketiya has gone from a quiet fishing cove to one of the south coast's favourite surf-and-yoga spots — and it can be a long way from the airport. Our Hiriketiya taxi service gets you here in comfort, with a clean air-conditioned car, an English-speaking driver and a fixed price agreed before you leave. No haggling after a long flight, no meter surprises on the highway.

Because "Hiri" sits off the main road, a dependable taxi in Hiriketiya makes everything easier — beach-hopping between Dickwella, Tangalle and the secret coves, an early dawn-patrol surf, or a relaxed dinner up the lane. Our Hiriketiya cab service runs day and night with drivers who know these narrow back roads, where to park near the bay and the quickest way back to the expressway.

Looking for steady Hiriketiya transport for a surf holiday, a yoga retreat or a wider south-coast tour? Whether it's a Hiriketiya airport taxi for your arrival or day trips to Mirissa, Yala and Ella, you can book ahead or on the spot via WhatsApp, phone or our online form — fixed all-in pricing and a real person on the line, any hour.
