The ethical whale watching operator in Mirissa

Boat & Crew

Queen Whale

Dear friends ❤️,


Welcome to Whale Watching Club Mirissa, an independent whale-watching tour operator. We have been offering whale-watching tours in Mirissa since 2013 and do not operate through other companies.


Our main boat, Queen Whale, is a spacious luxury catamaran measuring 60 feet long and 20 feet wide. It is powered by two 385 HP Yamaha engines and can travel at approximately 13 knots.

Although Queen Whale can accommodate up to 100 passengers, we limit each tour to 55 guests. This provides more space, better comfort, and a higher-quality whale-watching experience.

Join our experienced crew for a comfortable and memorable whale and dolphin-watching tour in Mirissa, Sri Lanka.
