This tour was on our plans since the beggining, we read that Mirissa was so rich in marine life and that delight us. Just for context, we're from Portugal and have already seen whales in our country…Full review by Ana Margarida G

Chances of seeing a whale are less but you definitely get to see dolphins. But sea sickness is a major issue. If you have motion sickness, then avoid this trip. The boats go around the same area. Th…Full review by Subhs23

Me and Wife are traveling to sri lanka and we very recently found out that my wife is expecting and is in her 12th week of pregnancy. She is overly enthusiastic about the whale watching expedition and is anxious if whe would be able to go. She hasnt been nausiatic at all these months and doenst have either of sea and motion sickness. Please suggest if she can do this trip. We are in mirrissa only for the next 2 days and would request a prompt response. Thanks

My recommendation is to avoid at all costs unless you want her to deliver your baby on the boat! It’s very rough ride and I would advise you to talk to her doctor. I believe it can be quite dangerous for your wife and baby. Pls google this topic too. Many answer doesn’t recommend this trip for pregnant women.
Hi, me and my partner are travelling to Sri Lanka in the second week of May, we wanted to know if it would be worth Whale Watching in Mirissa. I have read that the Whales do start to travel up the North/East in May, so wanted to know if it would even be worth it? Also, any advise on anti-sea sickness tablets would be helpful as well, thank you.

From my point of view it’s not worth it at all. The boats are equipped with crampy congested plastic chairs. The actual time spent to see the whales is no more than few mins. To reach to the whales watching spot you have to spend roughly 1.5-2hrs going into the ocean and same going back. Sea sickness tablets were not provided on our boat and many people vomited that day (5-6 people). You can get the tablets from any pharmacy. You can ask your driver to get you them. Best of luck and enjoy your time wherever you choose to go :)
