Set sail from the beautiful harbour of Mirissa for one of the world’s best whale-watching experiences. From November to April, the calm waters here offer an incredible chance to spot the ocean’s giants – blue whales, sperm whales, and Bryde’s whales – along with playful pods of spinner and bottlenose dolphins.

Tours depart early morning (6:00–7:00 AM) and last about 3–5 hours, with a 90–98% chance of sightings during peak season (Dec–Mar). You may also encounter sea turtles, flying fish, or even a whale shark.

Prices range from USD 40–70 per person, usually including safety gear, light refreshments, and an experienced guide. Don’t forget your camera, sun protection, and seasickness tablets.

Mirissa’s unique deep-sea trench brings whales close to shore, making this a truly unforgettable experience on your Sri Lankan journey.
