Nature Trails marine guides will whisk guests there on a twenty-foot boat powered by a silent four stroke engine to snorkel with a myriad of reef fishes and turtles in shallow waters. The brave hearts can also snorkel with the black tip reef sharks that are quite friendly but curious around humans, and this will also make an amazing opportunity to grab a few stunning under water images with the use of a Go-Pro.

While guests may witness some of the oldest and largest
sea creatures glide past them they can also learn about marine mammals who are constantly drawn to Sri Lankan waters during this tour while observing them first hand. On a typical whale watching tour, guests can expect to travel 18-20 miles into the ocean, and with some patience and luck have the opportunity to witness a wide array of Cetaceans includingBlue whales, Sperm whales, Bryde’s whales, Pilot whales, Spinner dolphins, Bottlenose dolphins and Risso’s dolphins along with several otherspecies such as sea turtles and whale sharks. On very rare occasions, guests have also been fortunate enough to witness Killer whales (Orcas) during these trips.
