Despite its natural beauty, the western peninsular area of KALPITIYA in the Puttalam district of Sri Lanka is remarkably untouched by tourism. But for those lucky enough to visit, there's a plethora of things to see and do! Close knit fishing community, fresh sea food, the Dutch Fort and St.Peter's KirkChurch provide interesting and varied possibilities for the visitor. More about Kalpitiya…. Though whale sightings are not that frequent off Kalpitiya compared to Dondra, it’s still one of the best places to see the ever smiling and singing chirpy Dolphins. If you are at the right place at the right time - which you can entrust to us - the spinner dolphins in Kalpitiya will give a show in their hundreds, perhaps even in their thousands. We care ….

Rates & more on Whale & Dolphin watching in Kalpitiya Boats we use Here we are using the services of local fishermen who know the area very well. This activity has helped them to enhance their income substantially and to learn to care for marine MMammals. While illegal dolphin poaching still takes place, we at Eco Team believe that the best way to discourage this is to create awareness and develop a sustainable tourism product.
