*Sri Lanka is fast gaining a reputation for being a world class whale watching location. The big attraction is big indeed blue whales, the largest of all creatures. Mirissa is the best place from which to organize a whale watching trip. On the east coast Uppuveli and Nilaveli offer quieter but less reliable whale watching and in the north west and the Kalpitiya area is the new whale in town, although here schools of dolphins are more common than whales.
*In all these places local boat tours are available but it pays to go with someone who really know that what they're doing.
*The season for whale (and dolphin) off the south coast and Kalpitiya is from January to April, while on the east coast it runs from May to October.
