Best Destination for watching Whales: Unawatuna Sri Lanka

We all know the fact that two thirds of our planet is covered with blue oceans. Deep in the Oceans lie many mysteries. That includes aquatic animals big and small, colorful coral reefs, shipwrecks and many more. If you ever get a chance to visit the pearl of the Indian Ocean, we recommend you to watch the whales soaring in the ocean. Watching whales and dolphins in Mirissa is considered as one of the most exciting water activities and it will definitely add a wonderful moment to your memory. Watching those gigantic whales and friendly dolphins with our own eyes, these mammals will surely surprise us in many ways. 

The whale watching season commence in November and concludes in April. The months from May to October is off season although whales can be spotted as well but the ocean is rough and is not suitable to go on ocean. It was for the month of December where we planned for an exciting whale watching in Mirissa. Since the Ocean is warm and calm during this period, we were confident enough that we will surely get a great sight of whales and dolphins. 

Since we stayed in the great place known as Coco Bay Resort, they arranged us the visit to Mirissa where Blue whales can be spotted. Mirissa is famously known as the world’s largest Blue Whale colony. After knowing this, we got even more super exited and pumped. The resort has promised to provide AC vehicles, fully insured whale watching agencies as well as on-board breakfast treat. We were told to get ourselves prepared before dawn next day. Since experts were providing services, we were not afraid. We just got more excited we could hardly sleep or wait.

We got up from our beds more actively than ever before. Everything was prepared well by Resort staff for us. We got into the AC vehicle and travel and set our journey to Mirissa harbor, located 20km south of Unawatuna comfortably. We got to the harbor around 6.30 am. We were fully jacked up physically and mentally for this exciting voyage. The luxury cruise was started its journey with us around 7 o’clock after dawn. We have travelled through the spectacular gulf of Mirissa South coast on our way.

On the way, we felt like our tummies rumbling loudly since we did not have a proper breakfast. But the staff has provided us a delightful breakfast treat which had nicely prepared sandwiches, eggs, fruits and a bottle of water. We noticed the friendly looking dolphins on our way. They were really energetic and were making whistles, burst-pulsed sounds and clicks. Listening to the sounds of Dolphins sounded like music that eliminates stress and felt like a mind therapy.

  After a while, the experts has told us that the cruise has reached to its destination. The skies were very clear and the sun has shone brightly. The blue ocean got mixed with sunlight and we witnessed sun sparkles. All of a sudden, we got the first glimpse of this magnificent mammal. We saw the wide flippers of the blue whale coming up from waters in a flash and then slowly disappear. For the moment, that would be the last thing we will see of the blue whale. But luckily, it breached out of sea water and performed an acrobatic jump. This is the moment we have been waiting in our whole lifetime. It was simply glorious. The blue whale has shown its natural pride and we had achieved a lifetime goal from this unforgettable moment.

Even BBC has once told Whale watching is a must do for this lifetime. So why wait? Just try checking out the amazing whales soaring in the oceans. Surely you will witness this as the glorious moment.
