Whale & Dolphin Watching Trincomalee

Ambivalent

Pickup and return trip went smoothly. The whale and dolphin watching was more of a whale and dolphin hunt. There were an insane number of speedboats on the sea. The poor animals! Our boatman was very considerate about that and did not race after every animal. We still saw a great many dolphins and a whale. It remains a dilemma: you want to see the animals, but not under these circumstances...
