Welcome to Whale watching tours in Mirissa, Sri Lanka. The Wonder of Asia, Sri Lanka is an island of just 65,000 square kilometres, located off the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent, right in the Blue whale and Sperm whale migration path. The continental shelf along the southwestern Sri Lankan coast starts quite close to the shore. During the whale migration season it's easy to watch Blue whale, Sperm Whale & Dolphins off the coast of Mirissa. Nowhere in the world do Blue whale & Sperm whales come so close to the shore, or so reliably spotted as in regular whale watching tours during the whale migration season in Sri Lanka. This gives a visitor the unique opportunity of watching and observing the mesmeric activities of these Ocean giants and the ever smiling spinner Dolphins, quite close to the shore.
Two species of Blue Whale have been recorded in Sri Lanka waters, Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda and indica ? Blue whales are the largest animals ever known to have existed on earth; yes no dinosaur ever found so far is bigger than the blue whale! These splendid marine mammals belong to a suborder of baleen whales, and roam the oceans at up to 100 feet (30 meters) long and upwards of 200 tons.
