TRANSFERS & travel
Your presence means the world to us! To help make your travel between locations during our celebration a bit easier, we've coordinated some transportation options detailed on this page. (scroll down for the registration form)
Please take a look through the available shuttle services, routes, and booking information below. We've worked with a local transportation company who hold all necessary permits, insurance and government clearances to provide tourist transportation in Sri Lankas. Vehicles will be modern 4 seat sedans, through to 20 seat buses.
Additionally, for getting around independently or for personal trips at other times, we suggest downloading the PickMe (very popular locally!) and Uber apps before you travel – they're very handy for booking your own rides.
Assuming that most people will have Uber already, here are the download links for PickMe:
We hope this combination of arranged shuttles and ride-sharing info helps your planning!
With love, Jasmine & John
