Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Whale Watching Mirissa – Whale Horizon, Harbour Road, Mirissa 81740, Sri Lanka
The best place to spot whales is in Mirissa, a small tourist town on Sri Lanka’s south coast, popular for surfing and famous for whale watching. The waters around Mirissa are particularly rich in plankton (a group of microorganisms whales feed on), which lead scientists to believe there is a resident population always present which will result in sightings whenever conditions are good. Take an exciting yet comfortable boat trip out to sea and be fortunate to see Blue Whales; the largest creatures on earth, Bryde’s Whales, Sperm Whales, Killer Whales, and Fin Whales. You can also meet pods of friendly Dolphins such as the Common dolphins, Bottlenose dolphins, Spinner dolphins, Risso’s dolphins and striped dolphins as they playfully somersault and dance on the ocean waves. There’s also a good chance of seeing flying fish, turtle, manta rays and even sharks.
