We were book Great Whales education programme month of May 2025. At that time live Dolphins and Whales watching by boat was not operating due to bad weather conditions. The according to our understanding Great Whales education programme was improve our knowledge about Whales and Dolphins . We were happy to not distribe natural behavior of intelligent main mammals.Because some of boat operators did not concern the animal natural behavior .

We Booked Great Whales Education Programmed Dolphins And Whales In Sri Lanka. According to Our Understanding it was better than live Dolphins and Whales Watching By Boat, Because currently Dolphins and Whales sightings were not good. We didn't want to waste our time without good sighting, specially biggest Blue Whales. This was excellent opportunity for us improve our knowledge about this wonderful animals. We Can't believe how interested about these animals. Ms. Deepika has excellent knowledge and experience about Whales and Dolphins and Whales watching industry in SL. She was presented all the information very clearly. We are highly recommended for all the travelers for this Great Whales education Programmed.
