Why start from Nilaveli
Deep water lies close to this stretch of coast, so the run out to where whales and dolphins are found is short. Our small boats, carrying up to 7 guests, launch from the beach rather than a busy harbour.
Where we meet
We meet on Nilaveli beach. Because sunrise moves through the year, we send the exact meeting point and time with your booking confirmation on WhatsApp. Please arrive on time so we can fit life jackets and give the safety briefing before we leave. Contact and meeting point
Combine with Pigeon Island
Our parent company, Pigeon Island Tours, also runs snorkelling trips to Pigeon Island National Park. Many guests whale-watch at sunrise and snorkel on another day. pigeonislandtours.com
