★★★★★★★★★★3.1 · 5 reviews · 6 hours · from $70Best value

From Mirissa, an English-speaking guide takes you into Sri Lanka’s coastal waters for a six-hour whale-watching cruise. November to April offers the best chance of seeing blue whales, sperm whales, dolphins, seabirds, and perhaps snorkeling, though the ticket fee and snorkeling cost extra.
