Blue Whale
The largest known animal on Earth. Blue whales are baleen whales that feed mainly on tiny krill and can travel great distances through productive ocean waters.
Deep water close to Sri Lanka’s southern coast.
Mirissa provides access to the open Indian Ocean from a convenient harbour. Seasonal winds, currents, underwater depth and the movement of prey all influence when and where marine animals may appear.
Wildlife patterns change from day to day, which is why sightings should never be treated as guaranteed.
