Whales and dolphins may be seen off Sri Lanka’s west, south, and east coasts. Whale sightings are more common on the south coast. Whales spend the entire year on the south coast of Sri Lanka since it is a great feeding place for them.
There is also the possibility of seeing Byrde’s Whale, Fin Whale, Humpback Whale, Killer Whale, Minke Whale, Sperm Whale, Melon Headed Whale, and the rare Omura’s Whale.
There are small boats that can carry up to six passengers and large double-decked vessels that can carry up to 300 passengers. The whale watching boats would sometimes travel up to 20 kilometers offshore and stay in the water for 3 to 5 hours.
