Great day - Super friendly crew, they really try to give you a great experience. It felt very safe and was a really good experience. The boat was also bigger and nicer than the other boats. We didn't see a whale but neither did anyone else that day.

Unbeatable service and attention - The experience with WWC was amazing. Even doing it in November and being aware that it is not the best time to see whales, they do their best to achieve it. They are a crew of about 5-6 people who face each other to look sideways and warn the capital as they see something. In addition, the captain is making calls (he will have made about 100 in the morning) in which I understand that they are giving him clues to where there are whales. All this with excellent service, service of 10 and accompanied by a good breakfast and lunch. I highly recommend it.

First class company - Excellent trip. Staff very professional and knowledgeable. Found a fin whale and stayed with it for some time at a respectful distance, following international guidelines. We then found a very large pod of spinner dolphins which stayed around us. Brilliant day. Thank you.

Amazing Experience with professional operator - We choose Whale Watching Club based on Tripadvisor reviews & am really glad that we trusted the reviews. The whole experience was seamless right from reaching out to them to make the booking & finally returning back as extremely happy customer. We received all the required information on whatsapp well before reaching their office & they were very clear in pointing out the chances of sighting a whale i.e. there were no false claims to attract the customer. The staff at the office & on the boat were very friendly & helpful. Now for the best part... whale sighting. The boat captain made genuine efforts to ensure that we get a chance to sight the whale & thanks to him we got more than one chance.. in fact 3 - 4 occasions. What really impressed us was that even though all the other boats went back after first sighting, our boat captain went further deep into the ocean & ensured that we got another closer view.

Great experience! - We had a awesome experience with this club, not only because they did everything to see the whales, while they have there space, but also because of the very friendly crew. We starten as the first boat and came back as the last! Really worth every dollar. We had enough food and drinks for the whole morning.

Highly recommend! - Comfortable seats and well maintained vessel. Lots of deck space to stand and watch the ocean. Driver Manoj patiently waited until we spotted dolphins and finally a whale. Once we spotted it, he wasn’t in a hurry to turn back, but allowed us time to soak in the whole experience without chasing the whale or going too close to it. Breakfast was hygienic and satirising. A bowl of pineapple was offered mid journey and a lovely Roti and Sambal towards the end, along with sodas. Water was available on the boat, with paper cups. We were given a short description of the dolphins and whale. Thoroughly satisfying trip!

Whale watching trip in Mirissa - We had a great trip out on the ocean and even if we hadn't seen any wildlife the trip would still have been well worth it. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and the food provided was delicious, much more food than expected. We saw loads of dolphins and a Fin whale which was magical. Would definitely recommend.

Highly recommended - The staff were very friendly and enthusiastic and also showed a great understanding of the necessity to start protecting and caring for the environment. The owner was careful to keep a good distance away from the dolphins and whales but also made sure we were in the right place at the right time. We saw whales,dolphins and a turtle. We were also very well fed! Thank you WWC.

Whale watching - See the creatures from afar. Lots of waiting around and all boats crowding around the same spot competing with each other.
