Kalpitiya Whale & Dolphine Watching
fromKalpitiya is becoming very popular for its presence of Sperm Whales and an occasional Blue Whale alone is a world class attraction of marine life. Whales are regularly seen around the Kalpitiya Peninsula. Interestingly it was only from around February 2010 that Kalpitiya is finally considered as a destination to catch the sight of the majestic whale. Boat trips regularly take off Kalpitiya Peninsula to an off-shore site to catch the sights of Sperm whales, the largest toothed whale in the world; can be spotted off-shore off the reef. The Sperm Whale, in the hunt of Giant Squid, dives several hundred meters in the ocean. Kalpitiya Peninsula with its continental shelf provides an ideal habitat to the Sperm Whale. The season to view the Sperm Whale at Kalpitiya Peninsula is between December and mid-April.
Also Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka is a major spot for watching Whales and Dolphins. Dondra Point in the Southern Coast and Kalpitiya in the North Western Coast close to the Colombo International Airport are the main resorts for Whale & Dolphin Watching in Sri Lanka during December to April. Out of these months, January to March is the peak months of sightings. During these months, there are 98% chances of spotting Sperm Whales and great chances of spotting Blue Whales as their migration path is just off the shores.
We are able to arrange Whale & Dolphin Watching Trips off Kalpitiya Point in a fully insured power boat which will last for 3/4 hours. There are good chances of spotting Spinner Dolphins as well.
