Mirissa
Today, Mirissa is known as Sri Lanka’s whale-watching capital, offering some of the best chances in Asia to spot blue whales, sperm whales, and dolphins just off the coast. But the town is also packed with much more: serene beaches, surf spots, island-view restaurants, and cliffside sunsets you’ll never forget.
Discover Mirissa – Paradise on the Southern Coast with Our Tuk Tuk Tours!
Mirissa, located on Sri Lanka’s southern coastline between Matara and Weligama, is one of the island’s most captivating seaside destinations. Famous for its golden beaches, turquoise waters, and iconic palm tree hill, Mirissa is more than just a postcard-perfect getaway — it’s a vibrant coastal town with a rich history and authentic Sri Lankan charm.
Historically, Mirissa was a quiet fishing village with roots in Buddhist and Hindu traditions. Its surrounding hills are dotted with temples and shrines that have stood for centuries, reflecting the area’s spiritual depth. Over time, as travelers began discovering the beauty of Sri Lanka’s south, Mirissa became a beloved stop — first for backpackers, and now for families, couples, and adventurers from around the world.

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.
