Sri Lanka is one of the best places in the world to see blue whales in their natural habitat. Sperm whales, killer whales, pilot whales and dolphins can be commonly spotted on whale watching trips organized from Mirissa on the south coast.
The Blue whale and Sperm whale can be seen on the North West coast of Mirissa and Welligama areas, and off the East coast of Trincomalee, one of their mating and calving zones. The deep waters of Sri Lanka’s southernmost point provides ideal feeding ground for migrating whales from November to April.
