Whale Watching in Mirissa

Mirissa is famed for its prime whale-watching setting – said to be one of the best in the world – and out on the waves, you may be lucky enough to spot killer, fin and blue whales, while dolphins skim over the waves around them. Keep your eyes peeled for more marine life beneath the blue depths, like turtles and tuna, or flying fish that skim past your tour boat.

    Couldn't see a whale.

    Couldn't see a whale. But spotted many dolphins and pilot whales. The staff was very friendly. Provided snacks. They also gave very good /clear instructions. Also gave us lots of bags for throwing up 😂. Many were sea sick in our group!

    Take the big non A/C boat.

    Take the big non A/C boat. It's worth the sea view and sea breeze. Take Nathalia 5 cruise directly from the harbour. Costs $34, cause I got a reference. Others can charge upto $59 but you should bargain. Paying upto $40 is good. They pick you up from the hotel in a tuk tuk. Drop you need to manage. Stay at Mirissa Harbour view. This is bang opposite the Harbour. Infact overlooking the harbour.

    Raja and the whales boat tour all day long if you’re prepared to pay a little extra and be more ethical . The only boat tour that didn’t chase the whales down when spotted . We stayed out an extra hr when all other boats had left and got to see Blue whales acting more naturally

    Not a good idea in April.

    Not a good idea in April. Rough seas and the kids were very sick. Found a whale after 4 hours, got a two minutes glimpse. Very disappointed although the ship’s crew were doing their best. Saw quite some dolphins though.

    We enjoyed the ww with WHALE WATCHING CLUB Great excursion!!

    We enjoyed the ww with WHALE WATCHING CLUB Great excursion!! We were planning two days of whale watching, but considering the very positive results of first day, so satisfied that we skipped the second day. We saw several blue whales and we followed them in respectfully way (at proper distance, I mean good balance between close sight and not harming them too close) in their calm swim in the ocean. We saw also an incredible herd of dolphins, surrounding us, playing with the boat and following us almost the whole trip. Crew is at the same time very professional (knowledge of the animals, where to find them and providing with proper explanation about) and friendly with all of us. Contacting and liaising with WWC has been quite easy and effective by email, they reply properly and swiftly to all our questions. Number of people on the boat has been kept at very acceptable level. Even if the boat could allow more, we all had the proper space and we didn’t feel crowd at all. Very good guys, keep working in this way!
