“This was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Sri Lanka! I loved that the boat was small and not overcrowded like others we saw. The crew was kind, professional, and made us feel safe the entire time. We saw both dolphins and whales and the guide shared so much knowledge about the local marine life. It’s clear they care about the animals and the environment. This is the best dolphin watching tour in Trincomalee don’t miss it!”

“Nos hicieron quedar en un punto para pagar y darnos las aletas, gafas, tubo y una botella de agua. Cuando llegas a cada persona les dicen una cantidad a pagar, nosotros pagamos 25.300 LKR por dos personas, pero otra pareja pagó 30.000 LKR... Otros chicos que había en la isla nos dijeron que habían pagado 27.000 LKR... La barca se nos rompió de camino a la isla, nos remolcó la policía marítima y luego cambiaron la hélice en medio del mar. l Llegamos a la isla, nos dejaron allí durante 3 horas para hacer snorkel a nuestro aire y vimos muchas cosas. A la vuelta nos trajeron a una velocidad…”
Review of Trincomalee’s dolphin and whale boat tour, with sunrise timing, wildlife chances, price, safety, ethics, and practical tips.
“Lots of dolphins. Our guide seemed to know where to go, was more respectful and didn’t chase like so many of the other boats. It was troubling to see so many boats (I counted over 30) all chasing sight of dolphins. I doubt there are any whale sightings, we did not seem to even look for them.”
Cook rice, curry, hoppers, and more with Nimali’s family in Nilaveli, using wood stoves and local recipes for $22 per person.
“We had such a wonderful experience learning to cook Sri Lankan dishes in your family home. The warm welcome you gave us made it even more special. We all really enjoyed the cooking class, and even my little ones (4 and 6 years old) got involved! We learned to make hoppers, sweet sambol, pittu, chicken curry, prawn curry and the traditional dessert halapa, which was especially delicious with tea. Cooking alongside you both, as husband and wife, in your lovely home gave the experience such a personal and family feel. Thank you once again for opening your home to us and sharing your knowledge with such kindness.”
