Whale & Dolphin Spotting

The best time to see the king of the ocean, the blue whale is here again. While staying at a Bentota Resort like the AVANI Bentota Resort & Spa you can also see this majestic beast in its natural habitat as the season between December to April is one of the best of the year. Just about 88 kilometers away from Bentota is the sea of Mirissa which is an ideal location to see not only the gentle giant but also dolphins! Apart from the blue whale, sperm whales cross the southern tip of the island, migrating to the warmer waters of Southeast Asia. So do Pygmy Blue Whales. Many Pygmy Blue whales can be seen at Dondra point in Sri Lanka which is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes away from Bentota.
