Itinerary

Pass By: Whale Watching Mirissa – Whale Horizon, Harbour Road, Mirissa 81740, Sri Lanka
Whale and Dolphin watching is an exciting experience on the south coast of Sri Lanka. Mirissa is one of the best places in the world to see Blue Whales and Sperm Whales on the same sailing. You will have a better chance of seeing these incredible animals during their annual migration from November to April when the continental shelf is narrow to the South of Dondra.
You will be starting your tour from your hotel at 06:00 am and taken to Mirissa Fishery harbor. At 07:00 AM, you will start a memorable half-day whale watching tour in the deep sea of the Indian ocean. Sri Lanka has many types of whales inhabiting its waters. The whale population around Mirissa, which lies on the southern coast of the island, includes blue whales, sperm whales, fin whales, occasional orcas, and many types of dolphins with a bit of luck. They are best seen between the months of December and April when the seas are comparatively calmer. Your boat will be reducing speed and engine noise as you approach the site where whales are most seen. You will be stopping at a safe distance of at least 300 feet away, with your closest approach being 100 feet. This tour will allow you to watch the whales responsibly with minimal environmental impact. Your naturalist on board will give you more information on the whales and their behavior. He will also assist you in identifying the whales that you see. Look out for the spout of air and water, which signifies a whale coming up to breathe. Ensure that you do not disturb the whales.
It is recommended that you bring a packed breakfast with you.
After the tour, you will return to your vehicle and you’ll get back to the hotel by 11:00 AM.
