Galle
This list compares whale watching trips out of Mirissa, the harbor 45 minutes from Galle. Blue whale season runs November to April, with the calmest seas from December through March. Take the seasickness tablet before boarding, not after; learn from my mistake.
Lavish in the unparalleled experience of whale and dolphin watching from a luxury super grade cruiser with hotel pick-up included, promising a journey like no other.
Most Popular★ 5.0“The boat ride was ok. But they were no whales to be seen at all. It seems the organisers are aware of it so they shouldn’t conduct tours at times when whales can’t be spotted. Pretty expensive for an ordinary ferry ride”
