Mirissa Private Whale Watching Trip på en super luksus yacht

It was truly a humbling experience to witness the giants of the ocean in their natural home. The private boat was excellent, and the crew treated us with great respect. Seeing the whales was a beautiful reminder of nature's wonder. Everything was perfect and well-organized. Thank you for an unforgettable morning at sea

A really great unique experience. Super Guide. We have seen dolphins, fin whales and blue whales several times. Thank you. We would book this excursion through this provider again. Only recommended.

Totally good, you could see a lot of dolphins at first and at the end several times a whale, was great. The staff are very attentive and friendly:)

Drive takes about 3 hours, we have seen dolphins and a sperm whale. There was fruit and a small breakfast. We left at 6:50 a.m., not as advertised earlier.

We went out on the private rental boat and highly recommend it. Our agent had booked the trip and we did an early morning whale watching excursion. Kushan and his crew were amazing they know the coast well and we saw dolphins, turtles and a blue whale. A lovely breakfast was provided. Take a towel and waterproof as it can get choppy and you may get wet!

We went our first tour on SriLanka by this boat . Very happy to inform that we were excited and wonderful in this whole tour . We had a sunset tour . They provide the best music with beats according to our nation . The snack and the meals tasted yummy . We loved the journey and the staff cuz they were very considered about us ❤️

This trip is advertised as a 3-4 hr morning trip, inclusive of breakfast and morning tea. It cost 60 USD each. We went on the early morning whale watching trip which left the harbour at 6.45 am. After about 30 min we ( and several other whale watching boats) saw an adult fin whale surfacing for air. Shortly after and separated from the mother was a very small (2-3 metres) baby fin whale. All the boats chased and got very close to the baby (with 2 m). This lasted for about 20 mins. I leave opinion of the animal ethics of this to you. Most of the boats then left the baby. We were given watermelon, cake and banana to eat. Then as we had seen a whale we were told we are now heading back to the harbour. Arrived back approx 9 am. Again you can judge if you this this is a good experience for the money.

The regular price for the whale and dolphin tour is $60. We specifically asked in advance whether it was possible to pay by credit card. This was possible, but after paying we discovered that $78 had been debited from our credit card statement instead of the agreed $60. When we asked, we were told that it was an extra 18% for registration and bank fees. That would have been excessive. But $18 extra is not $18, it is 30%. Even after asking several times and discussing things in the company office, we did not get a constructive explanation, let alone our money back. Absolutely a rip-off. Definitely not recommended.

We only saw a few dolphins and a fin whale for a short time. If you can call that "seen". The boat was pretty full and at the first sign of a whale everyone ran to one side so that hardly anyone could see anything. But that wasn't my biggest problem with this tour. We paid for our tickets with a card. We later saw on our credit card statement that almost 30% more had been charged than agreed. When we asked the responsible employees about it, we received contradictory statements. Some told us it was a government fee (which apparently isn't due when paying in cash), others told us it was a bank fee. After a long discussion, the responsible employees became very exhausted and angry. We also tried to get an adequate explanation for the outrageous additional fee in the company's office. But no chance. I can only advise everyone not to book a tour with this company. So far, the biggest tourist rip-off I've experienced.

Great whale, dolphin and turtle spotting experience. Wonderful staff and an excellent, clean boat. We had a whale of a time :)
