- Dolphin Watching Site - Trincomalee is quickly becoming a significant global destination for whale watching. Blue whales, along with smaller numbers of sperm whales, are frequently spotted about six to eight nautical miles east of Trincomalee (approximately a 30-minute boat ride). Dolphins, primarily Spinner dolphins, are also commonly observed. Most sightings occur between March/April and August/September, as whales migrate around the island from the south coast, where they mainly gather from December to April. This means Sri Lanka offers nearly ten months of continuous whale and dolphin watching annually at various coastal locations.
Sightings: There is a high likelihood of spotting whales or dolphins during our tours (approximately 50% chance for whales, 90% for dolphins), and we strive to find them for you every day. However, despite our best efforts, there are days when it is not possible to see dolphins or whales.

Delphine Watching - Nisamdiin & Arafath are good drivers.
Everyone was very friendly. I was allowed to steer the boat and they had water on board

Dolphins guaranteed! - Overall beautiful experience. Pigeon island tours arranged a pick up from our hotel by tuktuk. Turns out we were the only people that booked this morning so we got a free upgrade to a private tour! The man that took us on the boat was very experienced and kind. We were very lucky to see three blue whales which is very unlikely according to someone working at our hotel. You are guaranteed to see dolphins.

Lots of dolphins! - We started our trip at 5am where the conpany arranged a tuktuk pickup for our hotel in Trinconmalee (Our tuktuk driver was named Nandika, and our boat driver was named Karan)The waves weren’t too crazy too in the morning but as the hours went by we could feel the waves get stronger. You should definitely take some sort of motion sickness medication beforehand.
We had originally hoped to see some whales but were unfortunately unable to see the beautiful animals. We did however see over 100 dolphins in the water. Our boat driver, Karan had initially stayed with the other boats when pursuing the dolphins but later moved to a different less crowded spot.
This was a wonderful move in my opinion as the dolphins were less stressed over the fact that so many boats were chasing them. In our new area, since it was only us and one other boat, the dolphins became much more confident and would more often playfully jump out of the water or curiously swim right next to our boat.
The trip was a wonderful experience, but it would have been perfect if we saw whales. With Karan’s 8 years of working in dolphin and whale watching, he told us that January or April would have had given us better odds at seeing them.

Expensive tour but we see dolphins - Very expensive for what it was. Tour only lasted 2 hours and that included going out and coming back. Was meant to be 3 hours. Also would’ve been nice if the guide had spoke a bit of English to tell us about whales etc he spoke zero English. I asked why only 2 hours but was ignored

It sucks!! - Worthless experience. Dolphins are being hunted. I'm sorry we did this. There is a place where the dolphins often show themselves and there you continue to hunt dolphins with dozens of boats
