The experience
A place to make time for
Whale Watching from Mirissa is a provider-neutral offshore wildlife experience departing from Mirissa Fishery Harbour. Trips enter the waters off Sri Lanka’s south coast in search of whales and dolphins, with sightings never guaranteed. Choose a properly licensed, safety-conscious operator that follows vessel-distance rules, and allow for changing sea conditions to affect both comfort and timing.
