What you can expect
Experience the thrill of Sailing and Whale Watching on Sri Lanka’s East Coast, where azure waters meet ocean giants. Departing from Trincomalee and Nilaveli between May and October, early-morning catamaran adventures glide over rich marine habitats around Dutch Bay and Koneswaram Beach. Within a mere 30 minutes offshore, you're likely to spot majestic blue whales, elegant sperm whales, playful dolphins, and occasionally orcas . Cruises typically last around 7 hours, including breakfast, snorkeling, and serene coastal explorations.
Whether you’re drifting under sail, popping up on deck to witness a whale breach, or drifting between snorkeling, this is more than a day trip—it’s a full-blown oceanic adventure. With responsible, licensed operators adhering to regulated viewing distances and wildlife-friendly practices it’s an eco-conscious voyage framed by tropical beauty and breathtaking marine encounters.
Join us for a spectacular mix of sailing serenity and wild cetacean spectacles, and let the East Coast’s vibrant marine life become your backdrop.
