Colombo Airport to Panama Taxi
The village at the end of the road past Arugam Bay, where the coast turns to lagoon and scrub.
Airport to Panama: what to expect
Seven hours from the terminal, half an hour south of Arugam Bay at the point where the surfaced road effectively stops. Panama is a farming and fishing village on a lagoon, with a long empty beach and dunes behind it.
It is the jumping-off point for Kumana National Park, twenty minutes further south — Yala's eastern neighbour, exceptional for birds and far quieter than anything on the western side. Surfers also come for Peanut Farm and Okanda, both within a few kilometres.

Colombo Airport to Panama — FAQ
Where is Panama?
On the east coast about half an hour south of Arugam Bay, seven hours from the airport. It is a village rather than a resort.
Is it the way to Kumana?
Yes — Kumana's entrance is about twenty minutes south. It is the quietest of the major parks and the best of them for birds.
Is there anywhere to stay?
A few small guesthouses and camps. Most visitors stay at Arugam Bay and come down for the day, particularly outside the surf season.
