‘Enjoy an exciting and relaxing scenic train ride down South and a free shuttle service to Citrus Hotels’
Citrus Leisure’s properties, Citrus Waskaduwa and Citrus Hikkaduwa, recently launched a special free shuttle service for guests, to and from the closest train stations, to provide a novel and exciting, hassle-free travel experience, which makes it easier to access the properties. While the initiative was launched on the 4 th of July 2022, in response to the difficulties guests are facing in travelling to Citrus properties, as a result of the ongoing fuel shortage, guests have been delighted with the whole train ride experience and the convenience of not having to drive themselves from Colombo or having to
find hired transport. Thus, there is no reason for guests to hold back on their travel plans due to the fuel shortage. This is an ideal opportunity and arrangement for families looking for midweek & weekend getaways, and staff of companies looking for outing opportunities.
Thanks to the new shuttle service, guests are now able to take a relaxing scenic train ride from Colombo, along Sri Lanka’s idyllic and breezy coastal line. This is a unique train journey, globally, and is noted for its incredible vistas of the Indian Ocean and Sri Lanka’s beautiful western and southern coasts. In fact, many foreign train lovers and “wanderlusters” flock to Sri Lanka for its iconic train journeys, including this one along the coast. Guests can use this opportunity to unwind, enjoy a unique travel experience and arrive at Citrus Waskaduwa and Citrus Hikkaduwa in a relaxed state of mind, ready for the beach adventures ahead of them.
Guests travelling to Citrus Waskaduwa can hop off at Train Halt 01 in Waskaduwa and guests travelling to Citrus Hikkaduwa can disembark at the Hikkaduwa train station. From there, they can enjoy the convenience and comfort of being transported to their respective hotels in a special transport arranged for them by the hotel.
