Set off from the sunny shores of Unawatuna and journey down the scenic southern coastline of Sri Lanka to experience one of the island’s most thrilling marine adventures, whale watching in Mirissa. Combine this with a visit to the iconic Coconut Tree Hill, one of the most Instagram worthy spots in the country, and you’ve got the perfect half-day tour filled with natural beauty, sea breezes, and unforgettable moments.
