Experience one of the world’s most extraordinary marine encounters with a private luxury yacht whale watching charter by CCT Sri Lanka. Set sail in comfort and style aboard an elegant yacht with spacious decks, panoramic ocean views, and personalized service as you search for the giants of the Indian Ocean.
Sri Lanka offers two world-class whale watching regions. Off Mirissa (November to April), the southern waters are famous for sightings of Blue Whales—the largest animals on Earth. In contrast, Trincomalee (May to October) offers calm eastern seas where Sperm Whales and dolphins are commonly seen, with occasional sightings of Orcas and Humpback Whales. In both regions, Blue, Fin, and Sperm Whales can be observed depending on season and conditions.
