Private Whale Watching Day Tour from Kosgoda to Mirissa
Overview
Start your day before sunrise with a comfortable private transfer from your hotel in Kosgoda to the vibrant coastal town of Mirissa, Sri Lanka's premier destination for whale watching. Travel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle with your professional chauffeur, arriving at the harbour in time for the morning boat departure.
Board a whale watching boat and cruise into the deep waters of the Indian Ocean, where you'll have the chance to observe magnificent blue whales, sperm whales, Bryde's whales, playful dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine wildlife in their natural habitat. The waters off Mirissa are among the best places in the world to see blue whales during the season.
After the boat excursion, enjoy free time in Mirissa to relax on the beach, have lunch at a seaside restaurant, or explore the town before beginning your comfortable return journey to Kosgoda.
