Whale and dolphin watching are exciting new and unique activities for Mirissa Water Sports, however we cannot guarantee whale or dolphin sightings. In the month of April on various fishing trips we regularly saw pods of whales 3 to 6 miles off Mirissa and we are now cooperating with Sri Lanka's leading marine mammal expert Anouk Ilangakoon, who identified these as blue whales. This type of whale is fairly frequently seen during the first quarter off the South and West Coast of Sri Lanka, which is part of their migration pattern. Mirissa Water Sports keeps accurate logs of the sightings so that we can predict the arrival of the blue whales for future whale watching tours. The period between January and April is also a good time for dolphins. We often have been accompanied by pods of spinner dolphins during on our trips.
