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.

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

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.
