The deep water channels off Sri Lanka’s southern tip between November and April host blue whale concentrations that are among the most reliable in the world – a fact that makes the island one of the premier whale watching destinations on earth. The Asian Breeze Travels operates and arranges morning expeditions from Mirissa with experienced marine naturalists, reaching the feeding grounds where blue whales, sperm whales, and large spinner dolphin pods are active. The quality of encounter – in terms of proximity, frequency, and the scale of the animals encountered – consistently exceeds what travellers expect, and almost always becomes a highlight of the entire journey.
