The day
Your day, at a glance.
Set sail from the charming coastal town of Mirissa in search of the ocean's gentle giants. These waters are among the best in the world for spotting blue whales, the largest animals on Earth, as well as sperm whales and playful pods of dolphins that often ride the boat's bow waves. Early morning departures offer the calmest seas and best chances of sightings, with experienced marine guides on board to help spot and interpret marine life behaviour. Whether or not the whales make an appearance, the journey itself, cruising along Sri Lanka's stunning southern coast at sunrise, makes for a memorable maritime adventure.
