Whale watching in the South of Sri Lanka
Butterfly Tours offer you the best in Whale Watching.
If you're into whale watching, Sri Lanka's got you covered with its southern, western, and eastern coasts. Mirissa and Kalpitiya are the go-to spots, each giving you a cool chance to check out some amazing marine life.
Butterfy Tours have various options from a half a dat to full day Whale Watching
Down at the southern tip of the island, Mirissa is the go-to spot for whale watching in Sri Lanka. From November to April, the waters around Mirissa are super chill and teeming with marine life. You can often catch a glimpse of blue whales, sperm whales, Bryde’s whales, and all sorts of dolphins. Said Malith Perera, owner and founder of Butterfly Tours
Trip to Kalpitiya!!
Kalpitiya, located on the western coast of Sri Lanka, is a lesser-known but emerging hotspot for whale and dolphin watching. The Kalpitiya Peninsula is famous for its large pods of spinner dolphins, which can be seen year-round, and for its whale watching season from November to April, which overlaps with Mirissa’s peak season. In Kalpitiya, you can spot blue whales, sperm whales, and occasionally pilot whales, while the dolphins often put on an acrobatic show.
Kalpitiya’s relatively undeveloped coastline and calm waters provide a quieter and more peaceful experience of whale watching in Sri Lanka compared to the more crowded Mirissa. Moreover, Kalpitiya is close to the Bar Reef, one of Sri Lanka’s largest coral reefs, making it an ideal location for combined marine adventures like snorkelling and diving.
