Colombo Seaport with a private driver

Colombo Port is South Asia's busiest container port and one of the busiest transshipment hubs in the Indian Ocean region, located in the heart of Colombo within walking distance of the Fort commercial district, the Pettah market and the Galle Face Green oceanfront promenade. Cruise ships berth at the Jaye Container Terminal and the Colombo Cruise Terminal, both inside the main port compound with straightforward vehicle access for private-driver pickups. The port is about 15 minutes from Colombo city centre by car, 45 minutes from Mount Lavinia beach to the south, and 80 minutes from Bentota on the coastal highway. Private-driver transfers can be arranged to meet arriving passengers at the terminal gate; a 10-day private tour from Colombo port to the cultural triangle, hill country and south coast and back is a common request for cruise passengers with extended overland programmes.
