Encounter with Gentle Giants
The Indian Ocean off Weligama is home to the largest animals ever to have lived on Earth. Blue whales, reaching lengths of up to 100 feet, migrate through these waters during the season. Our experienced marine guides ensure a respectful and educational encounter with these magnificent creatures.
Conservation Through Tourism
Every whale watching tour supports marine conservation efforts. We work with local marine biologists to track whale populations and protect breeding grounds. Your journey directly contributes to ocean preservation and sustainable tourism practices.
The Perfect Season
December to March offers the best whale watching opportunities. During these months, water conditions are ideal, and whale sightings reach 80% probability. Early morning departures provide the calmest seas and the most magical sunrises over the Indian Ocean.
Sustainable Practices
We maintain a 100-meter distance from whales to minimize disturbance. Our boats use eco-friendly fuel, and all crew members are trained in marine mammal behavior and safety protocols. Join us for an unforgettable experience that respects these ocean wonders.
