The warm Indian Ocean of southern Sri Lanka is the best place to spot a wide variety of whales & dolphins. Whale watching in Sri Lanka is one of the most unique and interesting water-related activities you can do during your holiday tour in Sri Lanka!

The south tip of Sri Lanka is the easiest place to see blue whales in a very short time. And especially Mirissa & Weligama areas are the well-known spotting places of the blue whales in the entire world.

Sperm whales, right whales, killer whales, whale sharks, turtles, and kinds of dolphins are also spotted in this part of the island all around the year whale watching near Mirissa. It depends on what month you are traveling. November through April is whale watching season.

If you are joining a tour between November and April, then we take a 1.5-hour drive to a village called Mirissa.

At 6:30 am, we take you whale-watching on a relatively large boat. Dolphins are also often seen in the area. The boat should return to Mirissa around 12:00 pm. We are then to take you for lunch nearby.

Best time to visit

Colombo is rewarding year-round, but spring and early autumn typically bring the most comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds than peak summer. Morning departures tend to be quieter and cooler; booking ahead is recommended in high season as popular boat tours slots in Colombo sell out.
