Mirissa And Galle, Sri Lanka Whale Watching Tour

Pamper yourself with the panoramic views of Sri Lanka when on the Mirissa Whale Watching Tour. This experience starts from Mirissa which is a fishing port located on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, well known for its water activities like whale watching and surfing. Mirissa is considered as one of the best observational points for whales and dolphins. This region of Sri Lanka is frequented by pods of spinner, bottlenose, risso, striped dolphin, sperm whales, Bryde’s whales and the majestic orcas. These tours are conducted by English speaking naturalist guides who provide the guests with interesting facts about whales. You can also satisfy your hunger pangs on the boat with free afternoon snacks and complimentary drinks offered on boarding. We recommend you to book the tickets for the Tour online in advance to ensure a smooth and hassle free admission.

The best time for Whale Watching Tour Sri Lanka is between the months of November to April. During this time, there is a high chance that you might come across sperm whales, fin whales, Bryde's whales, short finned whales, dolphins and rarely killer whales and whale sharks as they migrate from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. You can also see turtles and flying fish from time to time. You are suggested to go for an early morning boat ride at 6 am or 7 am to avoid the strong waters of the afternoon. The period between May to October is considered to be the off season and there are hardly any sightings on the Whale Watching Tour Sri Lanka.
