Mirissa Whale Watching Tour

Witness Giants of the Indian Ocean

Set sail from the historic Mirissa Fisheries Harbour, founded in 1966, located in the sheltered Weligama Bay of Southern Sri Lanka. This early morning adventure takes you into the deep waters of the Indian Ocean, where magnificent blue whales, sperm whales, and other marine life can be spotted.

Mirissa is at the heart of Sri Lanka’s fishing tradition, where traditional boats (“oruwa”) have plied the waters for generations. Your modern tour boat is fully equipped with GPS, safety devices, and comfortable seating, allowing you to enjoy the thrill of whale watching while taking in stunning coastal views. Breakfast is served on board as you cruise the calm seas at sunrise, offering a magical start to the day. Optional sightseeing can include nearby Galle Fort, a Turtle Hatchery, or water sports after the tour.
