Meet your driver
Hi, I'm Avishka, your local Tangalle driver and guide
Tangalle is my home, and showing it to visitors is my favourite part of the job. When you ride with me, you're not just getting a taxi. You're getting someone who knows which beach is calm today, where to find the freshest seafood, and the safest way through every road on the south coast.
I keep my service personal on purpose. I answer my own WhatsApp, I plan every trip myself, and I treat every guest like family visiting from abroad. Your safety, comfort and peace of mind come first, from the moment I meet you at arrivals to the last goodbye.
