No overseas booking sites, no 30% middleman fees. Instant confirmation on WhatsApp. Your money stays in Mirissa.
Every listing is a real local business we know personally — boat owners, surf instructors and chefs, not resellers.
Blue whales, sperm whales and spinner dolphins. Season: November – April, boats leave 6:30 AM.
Beginner lessons on Weligama Bay's gentle sandbar breaks, or guided sessions at local reef points.

Big booking apps charge local operators 25–35% commission. Booking direct means fairer prices for you and fair pay for the crew.
Operators can offer you a lower price when a third of the ticket isn't going to an overseas platform.
Confirm on WhatsApp in minutes. Ask about the weather, sightings this week, pickup times — get real answers.
Your booking supports the boat crew, their families and the Mirissa community — not a foreign tech company.
Lock in your spot with a small card deposit (Visa / Mastercard, any currency). Pay the balance in person.
Example: one whale-watching seat priced at $50.
