Do you want to go on a whale of an adventure? Interested in interacting with some friendly dolphins? Visit Sri Lanka, which has been dubbed the "Best Place in the World for Seeing and Photographing Blue Whales" and is the best location to watch Sperm whales and Spinner dolphins. It was an exciting development when migrating whales were discovered traveling through Sri Lanka's southern seas in 2007. Dr. Charles Anderson, a British marine researcher, had originally proposed this notion.
However, in April 2007, sightings of blue whales and sperm whales near Dondra Head—the southernmost point of Sri Lanka and the location of the continental shelf's narrowest extent—put this notion beyond a shadow of a doubt. As a result, Sri Lanka has suddenly become a popular destination for whale viewing, and with Hotel Express, you will get the opportunity to "frolic with the dolphins and whales."
Sperm whales and spinner dolphins arrive in large numbers off the island's southern coast in the calm seas from December to April. Blue whales and sperm whales hold the record for being the largest mammals. The blue whale is the biggest mammal and conceivably the biggest creature to have ever lived on earth. Similarly, the sperm whale is the deepest diving mammal and the largest-toothed whale.
Whale and dolphin viewing has become synonymous with the southern cities of Mirissa and Kalpitiya. Large dolphin pods are now frequently seen in Mirissa, and during the migratory season, blue whales can be seen a few miles offshore. Since spinner dolphins are social creatures, it's common to see 1000–2000 of them together. As a responsible and ethical travel company, Hotel Express takes great care to uphold these standards.
We make it a point to never get too close to the whales and to always allow them to choose whether or not to approach the boat. Whales typically approach fishing boats or surfaces near them since they are not generally afraid of either humans or other animals. However, since they are not accustomed to being pursued, it is crucial to never do so. With Hotel Express, you can fulfill a lifelong dream without sacrificing your commitment to environmental principles. In addition to the security of the visitor, the well-being of the animal is of utmost significance, so we encourage ethical whale and dolphin watching
