Mirissa, on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, remains one of the country’s best whale-watching destinations. However, during the last five years, increased human activity, including swimming and snorkelling too close to whales, may have disturbed their natural habitat and encouraged them to move farther away from our area. Our current sighting rate is approximately 50% for whales and 90% for dolphins. If you are lucky, you may see whales during the tour.
