For 70$ they take you by boat. With life jackets and life saving rubber guards. People to take care of passengers and an expert spotter.
About 15 nautical miles in Indian Ocean at Dondra point, migrating whales can be spotted. Fin whales, sperm whale, humpbacks and extremely lucky blue. They migrate from November to April. We saw Fin whales, five times, when they surface to breathe. Splendor of nature is to be seen to believe. We saw bottle nose dolphins too. Swimming alongside our boat. Lucky ones on deck side chairs spotted one sea turtle.
They serve snacks and fruits on board. They have washroom. They supply vomiting bags, sea sickness pills, water bottle on demand. It's a four + hours excursion in morning. 6 to 11 am.
Must enjoy.

a perfect experience
It was an unforgettable experience, the crew was great, the organisation very good.
We reserved our seats on the beach in Bentota for the whale-watching tour for the next day. We were picked up at 5.00 a.m. in a van and driven to Mirissa. The driver took us safely to the boat and when we got on we were greeted warmly. First we had tea and fruit, then breakfast as the boat set off and headed out to sea. The crew were friendly and careful. We were lucky enough to see brydewhales, dolphins and flying fish. There was always information in English about the sightings. Later, we were able to jump into the sea from the boat and go for a swim. The crew helped us get into the boat from the water. Photos were also taken during the sightings, which we received by email in the evening, so we could just relax and watch and still have wonderful photomemories. On the return trip, the driver told us about a few more places and stopped to take photos. All in all, a perfect tour that I can only recommend.

Excellent service
We had an amazing day on the sea and had the opportunity to see the blue whale just close to us, diving majestic down under the boat. Our advice is to bring a thin jacket and to sit upstairs on the boat. You will have a better view on the upper deck. Shiran and his company is certainly a good choice. They are experienced, professional and cooperate with the best guides. On the trip between Bentota and Mirissa, we learnt a lot about nature and about the life of the people in Sri Lanka from Shiran. Thank you for a great day, Shiran! You are the right man for this job!
