Whale Watching Trincomalee:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Get up close and personal with the largest animal on the earth<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo see a Blue Whale in its natural habitat is something most of us can only dream of. To see more than one in a lifetime would be very rare experience reserved for a fortunate lot. The good news is that in Sri Lanka you can see so many of them just minutes from the island\u2019s Eastern shore and Minneriya Safari Tours makes more convenient to you get the unforgettable experience with our professional service\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Trincomalee is rapidly emerging as another internationally important whale-watching destination. Blue whales in particular (plus smaller numbers of sperm whales) can regularly be seen around six to eight nautical miles east of Trincomalee (about 30min by boat), Dolphins (mainly Spinner) are also regularly seen. Most sightings occur between March\/April and August\/September, as whales continue their migrations around the island from the south coast (where they mainly congregate from December to April) \u2013 this means that Sri Lanka offers around ten months of continuous whale & dolphin watching annually at different points around the coast.<\/span><\/p>\n
