Experience the kiss of salty air as you journey into the Indian Ocean, to one of the world\u2019s best whale hotspots. See it all from giant Blue Whales to majestic Sperm Whales, off the coast of Mirissa.<\/b><\/h5>\r\nWorld\u2019s best: As per the research, the deep south of Sri Lanka (off Mirissa) is one of the world\u2019s best locations (among the top two or three) for watching Blue Whales and Sperm Whales, two of the most sought-after marine mammals. In fact, for seeing both Sperm and Blue Whales together, it may even turn out to be the best location in the world.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhales are nature\u2019s giants. As long as 30m and weighing as much as 180 tonnes, the Blue Whale is the largest animal to have roamed the earth.<\/span>\r\n\r\n Read More <\/a>\r\n\t
\r\n\t\r\n\r\nNovember to April is the best period to watch whales and dolphins, as colder weather in the northern hemisphere brings these magnificent creatures to the tropical waters of the Indian Ocean.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAmong the varieties you might see are Blue, Bryde\u2019s, and Sperm Whales. Killer Whales are a rare sight, but not unknown in these waters.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThere are also varieties of dolphins you find here. Playful and attractive, dolphins are among the most intelligent animals on earth. Among the varieties on view are Common Dolphins, Bottlenose, Spinner, Risso\u2019s, and Striped Dolphins.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t
