Great whale watching trip!
Published on Dec, 2024
We went out on the private rental boat and highly recommend it. Our agent had booked the trip and we did an early morning whale watching excursion. Kushan and his crew were amazing they know the coast well and we saw dolphins, turtles and a blue whale. A lovely breakfast was provided. Take a towel and waterproof as it can get choppy and you may get wet!
Fabulous experience

Fantastic Trip. Kusha and his crew went way above and beyond to ensure we saw the whales. I have been whale watching before and new that it was a bit hit and miss. I also new we weren’t in peak whale watching season. But this was a chance to see BLUE WHALES- the biggest creatures on Earth.The trip was advertised as being about 3 hours long. So when 2 hours had gone by and we hadn’t seen a whale I thought it was all over- allowing time for the trip back. I thought they’re bound to turn back soon but still we motored on.Shortly afterwards the crew spotted avwhale for the first time and we started to make our way over to it. They only stay on the surface for a couple of minutes then dive for 15 minutes. The crew patiently circled the boat and we were able to get closer and see more of the whale during a further 3 surfacings culminating in a beautiful flip of the tail as it dived on our last viewing. A perfect way to end the morning. All this effort was made for a boat with less than 20 customers, going in the off season well aware that their chances of success were much slimmer than usual. I don’t think any of us would have complained if they had turned back without us seeing anything. It wouldn’t have been their fault. But they didn’t. They persisted and as a result all on board had a day to remember for the rest of their lives.
The boat was modern and comfortable. Kusha shared the rather steadier videos he had shot of the whales we saw.
All in all I’m very impressed with Chaminda Whale watching.
If seeing the largest creature on Earth is on your itinerary then this is the way to do it
Good
