Mirissa Whale Watching
Blue whales, the largest animal that has ever lived, off Sri Lanka's south coast.
The waters off Mirissa are one of the most consistent places on earth to see blue whales, alongside sperm whales and pods of spinner dolphins. Boats leave early, before the wind picks up, and the season runs roughly November to April.
What's included
- Blue whales and sperm whales, in season
- Spinner dolphin pods most mornings
- Early departure for the calmest water
- Best November to April; other months are hit or miss
