Sri Lanka is one of the best whale watching places in the world. After December, it is the annual migration season for marine animals in the southern hemisphere. A large number of whales and dolphins traveled northward from Antarctica to the Indian Ocean to breed with ocean currents. The southern continental shelf of Sri Lanka extends into very deep waters, and large groups of dense and elegant blue whales can be seen approaching the coast. The blue whale is the largest animal in the world, with a length of more than 30 meters. Besides blue whales, there are sperm whales, whale sharks and so on. December to April is Sri Lanka's best whale watching period. Not only whales, but also dolphins with good luck! Whale watching requires a gathering at six o'clock in the morning, so if you want to see whales, you can get to Melissa one day earlier. In addition, whale watching needs to enter the deep sea area. If necessary, be sure to prepare seasickness medicine or seasickness stickers in advance! Usually there are two kinds of prices, the biggest difference is the speed of the ship. Our expensive boat is a twin-engine speedboat, so it must be closed. It only takes a little more than an hour to get to the blue whale settlement in the deep sea. The cheaper open boat takes two hours to sail, two hours more than we do for a round trip.
