One of the main reasons for visiting tourist. From November to March you will see pods of 1000 dolphins! Tours are done early mornings. Spinner Dolphins are the most common with Bottlenose, Risso and Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins are seeing regularly.
November to December and March to April showcases the whales. Sperm Whales are the most common. The Blue Whale (largest mammal in the world), Minke, Melon-Headed and Dwarf Sperm whales are also spotted. Recently even Orcas have been photographed on the waters just outside Kandakuliya!
All tours are carried out by certified guides who have been trained by Kitesurfing Lanka to conduct tours in English. They will do a brief on the types of the Dolphins/ Whales we see in addition to sharing valuable information about their behavior and threats these animals face due over fishing.
