It is believed that about 26 species of whales cross this region during their migration!

Very early departure, around 6 am pick up from the hotel. It is advised to start without breakfast, so as not to get sick. But we could not resist, and took a sandwich with us. Looking ahead, I’ll say that I saw them again, after they had eaten them. Different-sized boats all start from the same port of Mirissa, from here it is closest to the “point”. The port is full of life! It smells of fresh fish and boat diesels. Even in the early morning in Sri Lanka it is warm. The neighboring ship is packed to the brim with Chinese.
