Sri Lanka's southern coast is situated adjacent to deep oceanic trenches where nutrient-rich currents attract migratory blue whales, sperm whales, and thousands of playful spinner dolphins. Operating out of Mirissa harbor aboard safe, certified observation vessels, trips provide an extraordinary opportunity to witness blue whale blowholes and tail flukes up close in open sea.
