💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors keep a buffer day around seaplane bookings here: afternoon winds and reservoir conditions can delay departures, and road alternatives from Ampara take much longer.
🚖 Getting There
Arrange transfers in advance through your seaplane operator, as the base is not a conventional terminal with regular taxi ranks. Road access from Ampara is short but may require a local driver familiar with the reservoir access point. Confirm the meeting point and arrival time, since seaplane departures can shift with weather and water levels.
