Boats depart early morning from Mirissa harbour, which is the closest point to the waters frequented by blue whales during the season from November to April. One may see five kinds of whales – blue whale, bryde’s whale, sperm whale, killer whale and pilot whale – and four kinds of dolphins – spinner dolphin, bottle nose dolphin, stripped dolphin and Risso’s dolphin.

Bike-Riding THROUGH the GALLE Countryside
Cycling through the cinnamon plantations is inspiring and very beautiful and can be tailored from a gentle cycle ride suitable for all the family, to more challenging hill climbs for keener cyclists. The classic Paddy Trail, starting at Wijaya beach, lasting 1.5 hours, and only 12km, is the classic, mostly pretty flat, gentle loop. 20 minutes away.

Going on a Safari at Yala National Park
It can be great fun to do an overnight in the park (this is about 2-3 hours away so makes sense to spend the night so you can go out early the next morning to see the animals).
