Bike rental in Hikkaduwa
Hikkaduwa strings out along one long beach road, so a bike turns a 40-minute walk between your room and the good break into a three-minute ride. Board racks are available on request at most partner shops — say so when you book and the shop will fit one before pickup.
Rides worth taking from Hikkaduwa

Local riding notes
- The beach road narrows around the main strip — expect tuk-tuks stopping without warning.
- Sea spray is hard on chains; partner shops rinse and re-lube between rentals.
- Surfboard rack fitting is free, just request it at booking.
