Duration
Half Day
Due to Sri Lanka's location within the Indian Ocean and proximity to the continental shelf the location attracts some of the world's largest marine animals and by heading out on your private catamaran you have an increased chance of ticking whales and dolphins of the list.
The day starts at around 6:30am, the sea is calm and tranquil and therefore whales are more likely to be seen. Although its an early start your crew will have prepared a fresh breakfast for you to enjoy on board. Later on in the day you will enjoy a three course lunch and snacks are provided throughout the day as well.
After hours of whale watching as you approach the shores the anchor will drop and you will get the opportunity to pop on your snorkel gear and jump in for a swim, or if you would rather try to stay dry then there is the paddle board for use as well.
