Sri Lanka is one of the finest whale and dolphin watching destinations in the world, with the deep waters off the southern coast providing regular sightings of blue whales, along with sperm whales, Bryde’s whales and several species of dolphins year-round. Our guided boat excursions depart from Mirissa and Trincomalee and are led by experienced marine naturalists who know the animals’ feeding patterns and behaviours, maximising both sighting frequency and the quality of the experience. Pods of spinner dolphins frequently bow-ride alongside the vessel, creating playful and magical encounters that are among the most joyful moments any ocean excursion can offer.
