    Frequently Asked Questions

    Find answers to common questions about the Beach Paradise Tour

    What is the best time for whale watching in Mirissa?

    The prime whale watching season in Mirissa is from November to April, with the best sightings typically between December and March. During these months, the seas are calmer, and blue whales and sperm whales migrate through these waters. Dolphins can be spotted year-round.

    Are the beaches safe for swimming?

    Yes, the beaches included in this tour are generally safe for swimming, especially during the calmer months (November to April). However, it's always important to heed local advice about currents and to swim in designated areas. Some beaches have lifeguards during peak season.

    What should I pack for a beach tour in Sri Lanka?

    We recommend lightweight clothing, swimwear, beach cover-ups, sunscreen (high SPF), hat, sunglasses, beach towel, water shoes, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle. For whale watching, bring motion sickness medication if prone to seasickness, and a light jacket as it can be windy on the boat.

    Can we extend our stay at any of the beach destinations?

    Absolutely! We can customize this tour to extend your stay at any destination. Many travelers choose to add extra nights in Mirissa for more beach time or in Galle to explore the fort area more thoroughly. Contact us to discuss customization options.

    Are vegetarian/vegan meal options available?

    Yes, Sri Lankan cuisine offers excellent vegetarian options. Most hotels and restaurants can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary requirements with advance notice. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions when booking so we can make appropriate arrangements.
