Begin before sunrise for an unforgettable marine wildlife journey from Mirissa Harbour.
Board a fully equipped whale-watching boat and cruise into the Indian Ocean as the morning light reveals the southern coast.
A knowledgeable naturalist helps identify whales and dolphins while sharing context about their behaviour and conservation.
After returning to shore, enjoy a refreshing drink or traditional breakfast before continuing your day.
Wildlife sightings are highly likely in season but can never be guaranteed because this is a nature-based experience.
