About This Experience

We invite you to embark on an unforgettable adventure along the southern coast of Sri Lanka, on an exciting excursion – Whale Watching in Mirissa. At dawn, you will board a boat and set off from the port into the vast expanses of the Indian Ocean. The morning light casts a magical hue on the water, intensifying the anticipation of encountering these majestic creatures.

Guided by experienced experts, the journey becomes an exhilarating experience, allowing you to learn about the diverse marine life thriving in these rich waters. As you venture further into the embrace of the ocean, the atmosphere becomes increasingly charged with excitement. Then, as if on cue, the first glimpses of spouts and breaches appear, signaling the arrival of blue whales, humpbacks, and playful dolphins. Observing these impressive giants gracefully maneuvering through their natural environment creates a thrilling spectacle, leaving every observer enchanted by the beauty of this encounter amidst the boundless ocean.

We depart early in the morning.

The timing of the excursion is crucial to increase the chances of sighting these magnificent creatures. The best time to depart is in the early morning, around 6:00 AM. During this time, the sea is often calm, making it easier to spot marine life in the morning light.

The typical duration of the tour is 3-4 hours. During this time, participants can enjoy the dance of the waves while observing the ocean from the boat as it travels through the Indian Ocean. Besides the opportunity to see whales, the journey itself provides a chance to appreciate the vastness and tranquility of the open sea.

Due to the need to gather participants from across the island, the approximate duration of the excursion is provided without considering the transfer. Please check the departure time and availability of free transfer from your hotel for the excursion with our managers!
