5 star service all round - Sadly no whales, only dolpnins. However I did get an email beforehand saying whales were scarce and would I like to postpone the trip. We went in any case but were impressed by their honesty. The boat guys were fantastic, helping my partner back to her seat in a really choppy sea. I was also very impressed that they sorted out a gluten free breakfast for me. 5 star service, sadly no whales but that is the luck of the draw.

Best whale watching trip of my life!!!! - If you want to watch whales from Mirissa, book the tour here. Beforehand I did some research where Whale Watching Club came out on top and they absolutely delivered on that in practice. Best whale watching tour you can find from Mirissa. They sail earlier than the rest, so you get to the whales earlier and don't have to share this special experience with other boats at first. Crew is also very knowledgeable and professional with respect for animal welfare. On other boats we saw people packed tightly together, but not on this captain's boat. They deliberately kept a lot of space on the upper deck to walk around so that everyone can look around. This is a really big plus. Actually wanted to book a private tour, but I'm glad I went with this captain. You sit high and can see a lot because of that, the captain and his crew are so experienced that they can already see from afar where a whale is swimming and they know how to take into account the route they are swimming and when they will come up and show themselves. That means they don't have to chase the whales like crazy, which we saw happen with other boats. We have seen about 7x a whale up close and in the distance dozens of specimens. Travel pills are distributed in advance against seasickness. When we went there were quite high waves and some people got seasick. This was then taken care of very well by the crew, a few who had a very hard time were constantly supervised and monitored. On the way back we were supposed to go swimming somewhere, but unfortunately that could not take place because of dangerous jellyfish that were there that day. This didn't matter to us, the trip was already an unforgettable experience with all the whales we saw. I've seen whales before, but this experience is definitely on top!!! Thank you Manoj and crew, for this fantastic tour.

A perfect whale watching experience - If you care about the well being of Whales then these are the people to go with. All the staff were incredibly friendly, the breakfast was great (including sandwich, sausage, fruit, coffee/tea and Coca Cola) and the boat comfortable. Some of the other boats going out looked absolutely packed but ours was very spacious with fewer of us allowing us to move freely and see the whales easily. We were very lucky and saw a fin whale and six blue whales. The staff were brilliant and equally as enthusiastic and excited about seeing the whales as we were which was lovely. They were also keen to talk to us about the different whales and how to identify them. They clearly care about the whales and spoke to us about how best to approach them without scaring them off. Unlike the other four boats we saw out which were all crowded around one whale, our captain took us away to find another whale so as to not overwhelm them. Thank you for a great trip!!

Amazing blue whale experience - We had an amazing trip with Manoj. He and his crew know the ocean well and gave us lots of interesting facts along the way. We were lucky and saw blue whales a number of times thanks to thier knowledge and sea faring skill. Pancakes and Rotti made by Manoj's sister were a perfect way to end the tour. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

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!
