What you'll do

Set out on a luxury catamaran with marine expert for an exclusive opportunity to get up, close and personal with the giants of the ocean. Sri Lanka is at the meeting point of multiple oceans, meaning its waters are filled with marine life including whale sharks, dugongs and rare species of sea turtle. On this trip, showstoppers include the likes of blue whales, sperm whales and Spinner's dolphins. You might even see an orca whale! And your host will share all the secrets of the deep with you.
Notes
Wear a hat, sunscreen and swimwear. This experience is suitable for children. Due to heat and rough seas at certain times of the year, you may experience sea sickness. Tablets should be taken 1.5 hours ahead of time.
