What is the easiest way to get from Colombo Airport to Negombo?

The easiest and fastest way to get to Negombo from the airport is to take a local taxi or a tuk-tuk right from the terminal. Negombo is barely 10 kilometres away, and in most cases, the trip is around 15 to 20 minutes.

Because it is that close, quite a few travellers decide to stay their first or last night in Sri Lanka in Negombo instead of Colombo. Official airport taxis have fixed prices to Negombo hotels, and that means a smoother experience right after a long flight, with less fuss.
