Whale & Dolphin watching

Sri Lanka is situated within the International Whale watching Commission's protected zone in the Indian Ocean. Of the 80 species of cetaceans observed and identified worldwide, 26 are found in the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal.

Mirissa has been named the field which is the best in the world for seeing blue and sperm whales, you are assured that your bet placed on the blue ocean in Sri Lanka has the highest probability of winning. Despite its natural beauty, the western peninsular area of Kalpitiya in the Puttalam district of Sri Lanka is remarkably untouched by tourism. But for those lucky enough to visit, there's a plethora of things to see and do! Close knit fishing community, fresh sea food, the Dutch Fort and St.Peter's Kirk Church provide interesting and varied possibilities for the visitor.

Though whale sightings are not that frequent off Kalpitiya compared to Dondra, it’s still one of the best places to see the ever smiling and singing chirpy Dolphins. If you are at the right place at the right time - which you can entrust to us - the spinner dolphins in Kalpitiya will give a show in their hundreds, perhaps even in their thousands.
