Watch blue whales off Mirissa, on Sri Lanka's south coast, one of the most reliable places on Earth to see the largest animal that has ever lived. From November to April, blue whales feed and pass close to shore where the continental shelf drops away, with sighting chances around 98 percent, often alongside sperm whales and spinner dolphins. Early morning boats leave Mirissa harbour, best from December to April.
