Leave behind the comforts of your hotel and step into the vibrant rhythm of Sri Lanka’s southern coast. This unforgettable day tour from Mirissa begins with an early-morning whale watching expedition, where you’ll sail into the Indian Ocean in search of blue whales, sperm whales, dolphins, and even sea turtles. With expert guides and calm seas (especially from November to April), it’s an incredible chance to witness marine life up close.
After your ocean adventure, head to the iconic Coconut Hill, a palm-covered clifftop offering stunning views over the turquoise waters below. Whether you're snapping photos, enjoying the breeze, or soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, it’s a picture-perfect stop. Combined with Mirissa’s beach cafés and laid-back charm, this tour offers the ideal blend of exploration and relaxation.
Join an experienced nature guide for a walk through the lush, shaded trails of Sinharaja. Discover endemic plant species, vibrant birdlife like the Sri Lanka blue magpie, and fascinating reptiles hidden in the undergrowth. Choose between a short nature walk or a longer, more adventurous trek.
Cool off at one of Sinharaja’s hidden waterfalls. Depending on the route, you may encounter the Kekuna Ella or Duvili Ella, ideal spots to rest, take photos, or dip your feet in the crystal-clear water.
Q. Is the Sinharaja hike difficult?
There are different trail options. Some are light walks suitable for beginners and families, while others are longer and more strenuous. Let us know your fitness level in advance so we can customize accordingly.
Q. What should I wear and bring?
Wear light, breathable clothing and good hiking shoes. Bring insect repellent, water, a rain jacket (it’s a rainforest!), and your camera or binoculars.
