Whale Tails Ahoy!
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Arrival in Mirissa
As you approach the popular beach resort of Mirissa you’ll pass coconut palms, ocean views and fishermen on stilts. You’ll be staying in a friendly, boutique hotel with easy access to the palm-fringed beach and places to eat. The sea here can be rough at times, but the property has a swimming pool and there’s plenty of space to relax in the gardens. Time to crack open a coconut and relax!
Day 2 – Half day whale watching
Mirissa is one of the best places in Sri Lanka for whale watching (between November and April). Early this morning, you’ll be collected from your hotel and taken to Mirissa port where you’ll embark on a half-day whale watching trip with a small group of other international travellers. You’ll have a good chance of spotting the whales as they are drawn to the sea trench just off the coast to feed. You may also see dolphins. Once you’re back on dry land you’ll be dropped off back at your beachfront accommodation.
Day 3 – Departure from Mirissa
Today it’s time to move on. After breakfast you’ll pack up your things and get ready to journey onwards to your next destination. If two nights is too short, just let your travel specialist know and we can extend your stay.
