Whale Watching at Mirissa Day Tour



Mirissa Whale watching day trip is an exciting trip where you would be able to enjoy a great beach and Sea safari. Our driver will usher you to our handpicked Whale watching boat operator with picnic breakfast where you will venture out to sea for approximately three to five hours.

Mirissa is the closest point to where blue whales are inhabited because it has appropriate environmental conditions to live these giants.last year it was reported five types of whales (blue whale,bryde's whale, sperm whale, killer whale & pilot whale ) & four kind of dolphins (spinner dolphin, bottle nose dolphin, stripped dolphin,Risso's dolphin)

Mirissa and its breathtaking sandy beach pretty much transform your dreams and visions of a tropical paradise into an everyday reality. Located close to the Southern tip of the Island of Sri Lanka. This secluded crescent shaped beach is the perfect place to sit back, relax and forget about all the hustle and bustle of your other life that’s a million miles away. This small sandy tropical beach boasts some of Sri Lanka’s best and most stunning sunsets and sunrises. All the Guesthouses and homes are set back from the actual beach giving you the impression that you are on a deserted palm fringed island. Every now and again the silence is broken by the sound of a coconut falling on the sand or a chilled beer being opened by someone further up the beach.
