It’s was an amazing experience and the staff was very friendly and easy to talk and there customer service is outstanding so I highly recommend this service.
Captain was very informative about whales n dolphins. We were very lucky to see both dolphins n Fin whales. Ferry was comfortable n clean. They collected our slippers n displayed them neatly after the trip. They provided sea sick tablets which we were happy to take as captain told us waters will be choppy in the Indian Ocean. Most who refused the tablet were sea sick n lay down lower deck, missing all the excitement . The crew kept busy helping everyone. They provided 2 rounds of fruit n buns , vegetarian 2 options n non veg 2 options plus water bottles. Trip was well organised n we were happy to have sighted both whales n dolphins
The people were lovely, the boat was well equipped and clean. The food was fine. We didn't see whales, although they were there. A mother with her baby. The whole experience was was awful, the way all the boats, and there's lots of them, chase the whale trying to get a glimpse of it. No wonder the whales keep moving, they must feel hunted. It was very sad. I felt so foolish after. What did I expect the trip to be like? I obviously hadn't thought it through. In my mind I'd be on a lovely boat trip moving leisurely through the bay, eating my lunch, loving life, and then we would see a whale or two playing in the sea not too far away. So foolish. Instead we were in a group of boats, all hurtling through the water trying to be the first to 'spot' the whale. We did experience dolphins playing around the boat which was magical, and sea turtles, but we did not see whales, or should I say a whales fin.
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We appreciate your kind words about our crew, boat, and refreshments 🙏💙. We completely understand your concerns regarding whale watching and the number of boats in the area. However, we would like to clarify that all licensed operators are required to follow whale-watching regulations, including maintaining safe distances and respecting marine wildlife 🐋🌊. Our captains and crew are trained to follow these guidelines and avoid disturbing the animals. Whales are constantly moving through a vast ocean, and boats must travel to the locations where sightings are reported. This is standard practice in whale-watching destinations around the world. We do not use sonar or any methods that could harm or disturb whales, and we always prioritize ethical observation. We're glad you were able to enjoy the dolphins and sea turtles 🐬🐢, which are also wonderful parts of the marine ecosystem. While we understand that seeing only a brief glimpse of a whale can feel disappointing, this is often the reality of observing wildlife in its natural habitat. We would also like to apologize for any noise caused by the baby on board. As this was a shared tour, we do our best to ensure a comfortable experience for all guests. However, we must also be considerate of families traveling with children, and it would not be appropriate for us to ask a mother and child to leave or move away. Thank you for your understanding in this regard 🙏. For guests who prefer a quieter and more exclusive experience, we also offer private whale-watching tours 🚤✨. These tours are designed for guests who would like to enjoy the ocean without sharing the boat with larger groups. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving both our service and guest experience 💙🐋🌊.

The time given by Viator when booking (0700) did not correspond to the time given by the company (told to be there by 0615 for an 0645 departure though we were sailing by 0640. No security instructions given on board as to eg where life jackets were to be found so rather disconcerting. Food provided as stated except for the tea or coffee (though that would have been very difficult to drink). Only one toilet for men and women so long queues. Crew really did make an attempt to see a whale as cruise was scheduled for 3-4 hours and we were out for 7 hours. So maybe best not to plan anything else in case that happens. Crew did tell passengers if anything seen on the right side then only passengers on the left should stand up (and vice versa). But instructions only in English and perhaps singala but as many people spoke neither language it had no effect and many stood up. So not great for safety. So on safety grounds I wouldn’t recommend but cannot vouch for other companies.
Good experience while in Sri Lanka. With polite and professional staff on board, we were in the waters till every one of us was able to spot the whale. They took care of F&B, gave us bags in case we threw up, and carried medication including those for sea sickness.
