At SL VOYO, Sri Lanka’s first travel platform, we help travellers go beyond basic sightseeing and experience the island in a more meaningful way. Whether you are joining our tours or planning your own adventure, here is our friendly guide to scenic transfers – the ultimate way to turn your everyday travel between cities into an exciting sightseeing journey.
A Scenic Transfer is a smart travel solution designed for tourists who want to make the most of their journey. Instead of booking a plain, direct taxi or spending hours figuring out public transport, a scenic transfer takes you directly from your drop off place while stopping at major attractions along the way.
Whether you are travelling from Colombo to Kandy or Galle to Nuwara Eliya, your professional driver guides you showing breathtaking viewpoints, cultural landmarks, and hidden gems en route.
Our pricing varies depending on the route and the type of vehicle you choose (such as a comfortable car or a spacious van for families and groups):

Everything you need to know about Scenic Transfers and how SL VOYO makes discovering Sri Lanka simpler.

Each route is carefully planned to make the most of your time and experiences in Sri Lanka. We offer selected departure times, while some routes also allow you to choose a flexible or direct transfer, depending on the route.
The stops are flexible too. You can discuss your preferences with your driver on the day and adjust the stops and pace to suit your journey.
