Whale Watching

Sri Lanka is one of the best places in the world to see whales in their natural habitat. The island’s deep waters attract blue whales, sperm whales, Bryde’s whales, and playful pods of dolphins, offering travelers an unforgettable ocean adventure.

• Mirissa – The most popular spot, especially between November and April, where you can spot the world’s largest mammal—the blue whale.

• Trincomalee – Famous for summer sightings (May–October) and dolphin encounters along its calm eastern waters.

• Comfortable Boat Tours – Safaris are led by experienced crews, with safety gear and knowledgeable guides who share insights about marine life.

Set out at sunrise, watch the horizon light up, and keep your eyes on the waves for a magical encounter with these gentle giants. Whale watching in Sri Lanka is more than a tour—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
