Whale & Dolphin Watching

Sri Lanka’s southern waters off Mirissa between November and April host blue whales with a frequency that makes it one of the world’s most reliable whale-watching locations – and the spinner dolphin pods out here are the largest and most acrobatic in the Indian Ocean. The east coast provides a separate season from Trincomalee, and Kalpitiya’s northwest peninsula delivers dolphin super-pods year-round that can number in the thousands.
