Day Tour to Whale Watching
Introduction to Whale Watching Day Tour
Sri Lanka’s best whale watching spot is situated in Mirissa in the southern coast of Sri Lanka. When you travel Sri Lanka you should definitely experience this and tack back those beautiful memories of whale watching Mirissa, the gentle giants of the ocean. It will be a once-in-lifetime experience for sure. The best whale watching season is between November and April each year. Whale watching in Mirissa is one of the most exciting water activities you can do in Sri Lanka during your holiday.
The whale watching tour packages begin from the Mirissa fisheries harbor at approximately 6.30a.m. Passengers are transferred onto sophisticated boats that are equipped with the necessary safety devices such as compass, GPS, nautical charts and UHF radio. These boats also have a small kitchen where fresh breakfast is prepared and served. Western toilets with shower facilities as well as plenty of comfortable seating areas are available for passengers. Life jackets available in a variety of sizes are handed over to passengers for their safety before the boat sets sail. Please note, the crew members on board are all officially qualified in life-saving, fire-fighting and first aid.
The entire whale watching experience takes about 4-5 hours on average, maybe longer if the whale sightings take a while. The probability of whale sightings is about 90-95% and we will give our best to make sure you see the whales.
After your whale watching tour, Griffin Lanka Tours offers additional sightseeing opportunities (optional) such as visiting the neighboring Galle Fort, Turtle Hatchery or engaging in some water sport activities.
