    Good service. Staff is very friendly and they were not in a hurry. Most important thing is they really care about animals and keep decent distance. Boat will leave at 6:30 AM and it will take around 5 - 6 hours to complete the trip. Breakfast, a bottle of water and some refreshments provided on the boat. Also medication (a tablet) is provide, to prevent seasickness.

    They have a great arrangements was on a boat where 40 people could fit in. Still the boat was spacious and the service was great. They provided a nice breakfast with sandwiches. And at the end a chilled fruit juice. The staff was really nice and was really energetic in getting us sighted with whales and dolphins at the best view. We were lucky to sight a herd of dolphins some flying fishes and yes 4-5 whales. The tour was really satisfying and highly recommended.

    When my 4-year old sea animal lover insisted that he wanted to see real dolphins, we contacted Mirissa Water Sports to check on the possibility. Chandi said we could even come the next day. So, we left Colombo early morning on the following day. Even when we were running little behind the schedule as the roads were covered with mist, Chandi was constantly checking our whereabouts and she made sure that we reach Mirissa on time. At her office, we had to fill in some required information. Then she took us to the boat which was clean and spacious. The crew was also very attentive and took good care of us throughout the ride, specially when my two-year old little girl was sea-sick. They provided us a lovely breakfast with burghers, eggs, sausages, cake and bananas, and gave water bottles too. My son was so glad to see a school of spinner dolphins guiding our boat to a considerable distance. We were able to see green sea turtles mating. We had to travel for about 04 hours to spot whales, and the crew did their best to find a whale. It was totally worth it as we spotted a large Whale Shark. The crew didn’t return until they made sure everyone in the boat gets a closer look of the whale. But they never disturbed the whale’s movements. On our way back, they offered us fruits. So, from start to finish, it was a superb experience, and my kids were overjoyed. I would recommend Mirissa Water Sports to anyone planning to come to Mirissa. They are indeed the pioneers of responsible whale watching. We will be back for snorkeling soon.

    I was schoked to see that the supposed ecofriendly (as per their website) Mirissa Water Sports boats were polluting the sea far more than others. Both of them. The boat engines were totally polluting the air the whales are briething with huge black smoke/gas. The worst is that the engines were releasing black oil/fuel on the water surface in big quantities. Going on the skin of whales and dolphins, and eventually finishing on the beaches (side beaches of Mirissa were black from oil/fuel). If you care about the whales, chose another one. Vincent.

    We were searching online for a responsible dolphin and whale watching tour operator in Mirissa who could provide us a private speedboat tour and came across Mirissa Water Sports. We contacted them through WhatsApp and they responded quickly! They gave us a good rate for the private speedboat tour. They are very friendly and try to accomodate all your requests. We requested them for a car from our hotel at Galle to Mirissa and back, they arranged for that too. On the day of the tour, we were picked up from Galle by the car right on time. Once we reached their office, we paid the tour fees and the registration process was smooth. From the office, we walked 5 minutes to the pier to get onboard our speedboat. It was an impressive speedboat with comfortable seats. We went deep into the ocean and spotted a variety of marine life - dolphins, blue whale, bryde whale and sea turtles. They also provided us with breakfast, soft drinks and pineapple. It was a fruitful 2.5 hours in the ocean. We absolutely enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend them.

    Best team. Great experience. We spotted a few bryde's whale. The crew had 4 to 5 people on board and they were always on the lookout and kept telling the guests where to see and what to expect.

    The tour cost us 10000 and seemed to be run fairly well. The breakfast was just a sandwich and after 5 hours of looking forward whales we we very hungry so I'd suggest brining more food. Also, we were given a sea sickness tablet before we departed but didn't realise it was a drowsy type (promethazine). On top of a 5am start to the day it floored us and it felt like we'd been sedated. I'd suggest not taking this unless you really need it.

    A very unprofessional company, I hired their speedboat for 2 people and we received no instructions, the staff were clueless and was worried about safety as they were inexperienced. Weather conditions were dangerous but the are so desperate to have revenues that they go ahead with bookings, despite the trip being life threatening.

    Excellent guys to do whale watching. All type of boats with lavatory. We did the tour in the bigger one and saw whale shark and tons of Spinner dolphins. Profession team.

    What an amazing experience. We arranged a fairly last minute customised boat trip for 5 hours for 3 of us at a reasonable price. It was all very relaxed and easy. The guys that took us out were friendly and relaxed and we headed out, feeling excited but also keeping our expectations in check. Within a fairly short amount of time, our skipper was cheerfully shouting to look ahead and we came across 200 spinner dolphins. Wow! Not long after bottlenose dolphins graced us and soon after we saw a BLUE WHALE! The guys were wonderful, almost as excited as we were, and totally dedicated to making our trip memorable. And it really was. They also fed us lunch, looked after our bags, and gave us useful local info. Totally recommend.

👍👍 I had a great time on their boat. We saw a blue whale and dozens of dolphins of two different types. The staff was very friendly. I paid 16500 Sri Lanka Rupees for the whale watching tour which lastet around 6 hours (good food and water included), what in my opinion is a very fair price. Also their...
