Driving a tuk tuk out of Hiriketiya
Dickwella's blowhole, under 2 km away, is an easy tuk tuk hop, and the coast road east to Tangalle at around 18 km stays flat and manageable the whole way.
Mirissa, roughly 32 km back toward Galle, and Galle itself at about 65 km, are longer rides — comfortable on a tuk tuk, but budget real time rather than rushing either one.
