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...

Trincomalee: Whales Watching and Navy Island Snorkeling Tour
Unforgettable family experience. Safety and kindness from start to finish
We had an extraordinary day with the entire team at Trinco Bay Dive Center for a family outing (2 adults and 2 children aged 9 and 13). The local managers are very professional and the team includes a French-speaking employee, which was a real plus for us and made the interactions very smooth and reassuring. In the morning, we left for a snorkeling excursion. The agency had chartered a private boat just for our family, accompanied by an attentive guide who followed us with a safety buoy: ideal for serving as a fixed reference point and reassuring everyone in the water. The afternoon was dedicated to our introductory scuba dive with my son. The supervision is extremely rigorous and follows a set protocol: very clear explanations given by the instructors, a perfectly designed explanatory video, then a trial session of the equipment in the pool before taking the boat to the sea. You feel completely confident from start to finish. All the staff are very kind and constantly attentive. Furthermore, their rates are very reasonable compared to other competing structures in the region. A huge thank you to the whole team for these wonderful memories. You can go there with your eyes closed!
