Experiences
Shared Whale Watching

From December to April each year, Sri Lanka’s south coast features calmer waters and we venture out to sea in search of marine biodiversity — especially blue and sperm whales during their migration around the southern tip of the island.

The Sail Lanka Ocean Safari experience is guided by a naturalist who will give informative commentary on the whales, their migration patterns and behavior. There is also a possibility of seeing other marine wildlife such as dolphins, turtles, types of fish and birdlife on the excursion.

For this experience, Sail Lanka will use a yacht of a catamaran style with plenty of space to lounge and relax, and are equipped with a trained team. The catamaran includes numerous vantage points for everyone to take in a sighting clearly."
