Colombo Airport to Muttur Taxi
A coastal town on the southern shore of Trincomalee harbour, reached by ferry or the long road round.
Airport to Muttur: what to expect
Six hours from the terminal by road, or a short ferry across the harbour from Trincomalee. Muttur sits on the southern shore of one of the world's great natural harbours, in an area that saw heavy fighting during the civil war and has rebuilt quietly since.
There is little tourism here and little infrastructure for it. What there is: the harbour itself, a long shoreline, and a route south towards Kantale and the Cultural Triangle that avoids Trincomalee entirely.

We accept LKR, USD, EUR and GBP, and confirm payment terms with your quote. Our team has handled mishandled-baggage delivery for Emirates passengers at this airport since the 1990s, which is how we know the terminal and the roads as well as we do.
