Whale Watching in Kalpitiya

The coastline of Kalpitiya offers fantastic opportunities for whale watching in Sri Lanka. The deeper waters in these areas are home to six different types of whales, the Blue, Minke, Melon-Headed, Pilot, Brydes, and Dwarf Sperm whales.

From November to December, and again from March to April, whale activity peaks, offering the best chances to see these magnificent creatures up close. November and April are the absolute best months for whale watching in Sri Lanka, as the whales are seen in large numbers close to shore during their migration period.

Dolphin Watching in Kalpitiya

The best time to go dolphin watching in Kalpitiya is from November to Apri as many species of dolphins migrate to Kalpitiya from colder waters. The calm waters during this period also make it easier to spot dolphins and you may witness superpods with hundreds and even thousands of dolphins.

Dolphin watching tours usually take place early in the morning and last for 2-3 hours. The most common dolphin species found in the Kalpitiya waters are the long snouted Spinner dolphins, as offshore tropical waters serve as their habitat. Other species such as Bottlenose, Risso and Indo-Pacific Humpback dolphins can also be spotted in Kalpitiya. These charming and playful creatures are a delight to behold and make for an unforgettable experience.
