Discover Weligama – Where Surf Meets Culture
Weligama, meaning “Sandy Village” in Sinhala, is a beautiful coastal town on Sri Lanka’s southern shores, about 30 kilometers east of Galle. With golden beaches stretching as far as the eye can see, coconut palms swaying in the sea breeze, and surfers dotting the turquoise waves, Weligama has become one of the most popular beach towns in Sri Lanka.
Historically, Weligama has been a hub for fishing and handcraft industries, especially known for producing exquisite lacework and wooden masks. It also holds cultural significance, with several ancient temples and historical landmarks nestled within the region. The area’s name comes from the shallow bay and sandy beaches that made it a natural harbor in ancient times — a place where kings, traders, and monks once walked.

Proffesioneel, vriendelijk, duidelijke communicatie en komen afspraken na. Zou Tuktuk Ceylon Ride zeker aanraden!Posted on A&A HendyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great experience to self drive a tuktuk around part of Sri Lanka. It was any easy process of booking on line which included tuktukceylon arranging a local license. We were met at Anuradaphura train station by our instructor, Anjana, who was very professional in showing us around the tuktuk and giving driving lessons. Driving the tuktuk took a little getting used to, but once I got the hang of it, it was great. It is an easy for two people and two large bags to get around comfortably and see the sites. We booked the tuktuk for 6 days and went from Anuradaphura to Sigiriya then to Kandy. We would definitely do it again and can highly recommend tuktukceylon.Posted on floor aaldersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The tuktuk made our experience in Sri Lanka 10 times better. The tuktuk itself was easy to ride and we had no problems in the 3 weeks of using it. When we had questions we could message them and they answered straight away. Would recommend this companyPosted on f van der steenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fijne ervaring gehad. Makkelijk contact via whatsapp. Tuktuk was op tijd en toen wij de inlever tijd wilde wijzigen was dit geen probleem. Wij hadden zelf de nieuwste uit 2025 en dit reed erg fijn.Posted on Justas JanušonisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hello, I would like to thank this company for the services provided. We rented a tuktuk for 10 days. At first I had chosen an older model, but before arriving in Sri Lanka, they offered to rent a brand new 2025 model with 100 km mileage. It was the best thing to travel with a brand new tuktuk. The service center works wonderfully and quickly. Everything is clearly explained, there are really few questions. It also helped us that they arranged a driving license in Sri Lanka, and had a Tuktuk transportation service. The Tuktuk transportation service saved us when we traveled by train from Kandy to Ella. The driver picked up the tuktuk from the station and delivered it to a suitable place in another city. Really reliable and good company!! Highest recommendations!! 👍❤️🙈Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
