• Ocean Lanka Kalpitiya - We will meet at 7.30 a.m. at our centre and after a briefing on the tour and safety precautions, you will be ushered to the boat. Kalpitiya is a relatively new destination in Sri Lanka gaining prominence especially for its large pods of Spinner Dolphins off the coast. They were mainly seen in a belt that ran parallel to the Kalpitiya peninsula which was commonly known as the Dolphin Line. But while Dolphin Watching in Kalpitiya is now one of the main attractions in Sri Lanka, there are other water-based adventures, for those looking to do so much more during their stay here.

If you are in Kalpitiya between November and March/April, the conditions are perfect to catch a glimpse of diverse sea mammals as the waters remain relatively calm and enhances visibility.
Among some of the other commonly spotted dolphin species are: Bottlenose, Risso’s, Indo-Pacific and Humpback Dolphins.

Kalpitiya is ideal for observing dolphins and whales, given that there’s no need to venture far into the ocean: the continental shelf is actually nearer to the coast than indicated on nautical charts, so close that it parallels the beachfront. This means you can encounter various marine species within a brief voyage from the land.

Skilled English-speaking guides will accompany you, providing detailed information about the marine mammals you see. Witnessing dolphins as they arc through the air and glide beside and beneath your vessel is an experience that will stay with you. The ocean during this time is calmer compared to the rough seas of the monsoon period, enhancing your chances of clear dolphin sightings.
