Overview

Early morning you will depart from hotel for Whale Watching in Mirissa on a shared Cruise. Arrive at the harbour by 0630 hrs and be met by your naturalist guide for the day and the crew for Whale Watching. Set out across the azure sea with the clear and crisp early morning breeze to keep you cool.  The naturalist on board will be a fount of incredible facts about local marine life making the expedition an intense ‘Marine Nature Watch’, experience. The captain will often stop and hail a passing fishing boat on its homeward journey after a long nights work, out at sea. The mood aboard the fishing boat is sombre or jubilant depending on the value of the days catch. It’s not unusual for the fisherman to offer a small portion of the catch to your vessel in a gesture of goodwill and to bring them more good luck in the future; this is especially so if they’ve had a particularly good catch! Meanwhile, the fisherman will hopefully have first-hand information on where and which whales were spotted that morning! The vessel is also fitted with radar and GPS which helps to increase chances of success.  Continue out to see and hopefully, we encounter the mighty giants of the sea, the Blue Whales, Sperm Whales, Killer Whales and several species of dolphins between 20 – 40 nautical miles from the coast. Sightings of other species of whales and dolphins are not uncommon and will be a special treat.
