Additional Information

Dear Friend,
I would like to share some information about the whale sightings in the Mirissa area.

  • Blue Whale: 25%
  • Fin Whale: 50%
  • Spinner Dolphins or Other Dolphins: 80%
  • Other Animals: 50%
    The reason for the low whale sighting rate is due to some speed boat operators engaging in illegal whale diving and snorkeling over the past five years….

Excellent Team for Whale Watching - Excellent whale watching trip with WWC. We were a group of 12 people. They are so patient and go the extra mile to make sure we see the aquatic animals. We were very fortunate to see blue whale, fin whale, lots Of dolphins and spin dolphin too!! Food was good and service was awesome! Would highly recommend them to everyone! Thanks WWC!

Indescribable great and unforgettable experience! - Absolutely recommendable, a super friendly and dedicated crew, a totally enthusiastic captain himself, who was at least as happy about every animal as his guests, we were totally lucky and saw a blue whale, fin whales, a hundred dolphins, tuna and 2 turtles, unforgettable impressions, I definitely recommend being there early, we were already there at 5:40am and were thus able to secure a place on top of the ship. We are really excited about the offer, it was really worth every cent and I would book it again immediately!

Special whale watching tour that stands out from all other tours - We are thrilled, that we booked the whale watching tour with Whale Watching Club (Manoj). We got to see blue whales, fin whales, hundreds of dolphins, turtles, flying fish, tuna and more. We could see that Manoj loves his job and he is so excited when we got to see the beautiful animals. He is very respectful with them and does not disturb them. We were the first boat that left the port and therefore got to start the tour “in peace” and saw the first whale and dolphins when we were alone. All the other boats left after about 3 hours and again we got to enjoy the most amazing views and animals sightings. The crew was very friendly and the food was also great. A big thank you to our captain Manoj and his crew. 100% recommend!!

Outstanding - WWC warrants more than an excellent rating! Our sailing was truly memorable: a great crew, boat, hospitality and admirable ethics combined with first rate seamanship ensured excellent Pilot Whale, multiple types of dolphin, Manta Ray and Tuna sightings. It was interesting how many other tour boats tried to follow the WWC’s course but headed home before the real action started.

Top whale watching tour in Mirissa - Excellent crew who clearly cared for the whales but also wanted to provide us a good experience. I appreciated their honesty up front when booking this trip. We saw two fin whales, then 100+ dolphins.

Choose this whale watching trip - Overall it was a great trip. Manoj communicated well via WhatsApp with instructions for the morning. Breakfast is provided and you get the opportunity to jump off the boat and swim at the end of the tour. But the main highlight was the wildlife. We saw Spinner Dolphins, Risso’s Dolphins and Fin Whales. We also saw a sea turtle! Manoj is unlike the other boats and keeps a sensible distance and speed when best the wildlife. The boat also is not overcrowded so there is lots of opportunity to get a good view. Please choose WWC for your trip as they truly care about the animals.

Nice morning with the WWC - The Ww tour with the WWC was basically a nice experience. Everyone put a lot of effort into creating a unique experience. Unfortunately we only saw a bunch of dolphins at the beginning of the tour (which was very nice). Afterwards, we cruised around the sea looking for whales, unfortunately without success. Of course, nobody can help it. That's nature! One should simply know that it may well be possible that you see very few marine animals. You just need luck 🍀

Very well run trip.😊 - The trip was really professionally done. The boat was very clean and tidy. The staff were fantastic. The boat could have easily held more seats, but the operator has chosen not to have a very crowded boat with was a great touch. Drinks and food and if needed on departure sick tablets were all provided. Our only negative was the lack of a whale. Not I must add, for the lack of trying. The captain was even asking passing local fishing boats. I am fully aware you can't control nature, and in no way blame anyone. We were super excited at the prospect of seeing a large whale, so for that, we were a little sad. Simon and Sharron.
