Mirissa Whale watching tour from Colombo Negombo with Breakfast
Highly Recommended Trip
I honestly didn’t know what to expect from the whale watching trip because you can never be sure what you will actually see in the ocean. We were picked up from Colombo early in the morning and went towards Mirissa. The breakfast was a nice little bonus, especially because we had started the day so early. After getting on the boat, we spent quite a while just looking at the sea, and then things suddenly got exciting when we started seeing dolphins and whales. Watching a whale come up from the water for a few seconds and then disappear again was such a cool moment. It felt much more real seeing it like that in the open sea. The whole day was simple and enjoyable from start to finish. There was no unnecessary fuss, and the people on the trip were helpful whenever we needed anything. I especially liked that we were able to just enjoy the experience instead of feeling like we were being rushed from one thing to another. By the time we returned, we were pretty tired from the early start, but honestly I didn’t mind at all. Seeing the whales and dolphins made the whole morning worthwhile. I’d definitely suggest doing this if you’re staying around Colombo or Negombo and want to see a different side of Sri Lanka.

Explore Sri Lanka in 9 Days with 3 Star Accommodations & driver
Unforgettable Sri Lanka Experience with Excellent Service
Me and my family had an amazing 9 day family trip to Sri Lanka in April, organized by Destination Plus, and everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. From the very beginning, the communication and planning were excellent. The itinerary was well balanced, covering beautiful beaches, cultural sites, and scenic hill country, giving us a complete experience of Sri Lanka. A special thank you to our driver, Lahiru, who truly made our trip unforgettable. He was always punctual, professional, and incredibly kind. His driving was very safe, and he had great knowledge about the country, sharing interesting information along the way. He was also very flexible and always willing to adjust plans to suit our needs, which made traveling with family so comfortable. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and all arrangements such as hotels and transfers were smooth and hassle free. We really appreciated the attention to detail and the care taken to ensure we had a memorable experience. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, and thanks to Destination Plus and Lahiru, we were able to enjoy it to the fullest without any stress. We highly recommend Destination Plus to anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka. Thank you again for an unforgettable holiday.
