Sri lanka Whale watching guide
š In Sri Lanka, it seems that whale watching is just a very ordinary thing, thanks to Sri Lanka's extensive coastline. There are two whale watching spots in Sri Lanka. The 1st is Mirissa, but the waves are too large, the danger factor is high, and it's easy to get seasick, so it's not recommended!! The second is Trincomalee, which I highly recommend, located on the east coast of Lanka. From May to October, it is the most suitable time for whale watching in this part of the world! š Whale watching times: ā Normal whale watching trips depart in the morning, usually gathering at the whale watching dock at six-thirty in the morning to set sail. Depending on the captain's experience, the boat ride takes half an hour to an hour to reach the whale watching spot, and basically, 90% of the time you can see whales. ā The seven days after the 15th day of the lunar month are affected by tides, and the chances of seeing whales are greatly reduced. Plan your trip to avoid these days, so the safe days are the two weeks before the 15th day of the lunar month. š” Fun fact: š³ The difficulty of whale and dolphin watching, from easy to difficult: Spinner dolphins, Bottlenose dolphins, Blue whales, Sperm whales, Short-finned pilot whales, Melon-headed whales, Orcas, and Humpback whales. Of course, choosing an excellent captain is definitely a decisive part of getting good shots. He can accurately predict the route, grasp the boarding points, and avoid wasting energy on futile efforts #Whale watching#Sri lanka#trip diary#travel guide# Trincomalee#Trincomalee Beach#Mirissa
