Kalpitiya - November to March is the season for dolphin watching excursions, as this is when the seas are calm. During this period, hundreds of dolphins and in some instances thousands can be observed in large pods just rac{1}{2} hour on shore. Dolphin watching excursions usually begin at 0730 hrs. Sightings are so certain that we offer a free dolphin excursion (excluding park fees) the next day, if you are unlucky on your first outing. We have a 95% hit ratio seeing dolphins.
Spinner dolphins are the most common sightings and the most spectacular as they engage in acrobatic leaps out of the water. Whilst airborne they rotate along their longitudinal axis hence their name spinner dolphins.
A permit issued by the Department of Wildlife Conservation is required for every individual
going out on marine mammal watching excursions.

A great dolphin experience - My friend and I went on the morning Dolphin Tour with Ocean Lanka. The process was smooth and ultra efficient, the launch spotless and safe and the crew excellent. we were lucky in that within a few minutes of leaving the beach, where we got in to the launch on the beach and did not get our feet wet, we came to a pod of about 500 to 1000 spinner dolphins. The joy of seeing such a large pod was best described by two children, who were in the group, leaping about in excitement. The crew went out of their way to make sure the children haad the maximum enjoyment possible for the next hour, I must admit the adults enjoyed it as well! The cost was not prohibitive and on relurning to the beach 3 hours later we disembarked on to the beach and had xry feet. Well worth the money
