What people are saying about Trincomalee
Overall rating
Such an amazing experience! I was searching for the best whale watching tour in Trincomalee and found this combo tour with snorkeling at Navy Island and I’m so glad I booked it. The trip started early with tea at the dive center, and then we went out to spot whales and dolphins. We were lucky to see a blue whale and lots of dolphins swimming beside the boat! It was peaceful, not overcrowded, and felt very respectful to the animals. After a short break with fresh fruit, we went snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters around Navy Island. The coral reefs were beautiful and full of tropical fish. The guide stayed close the whole time and made it really easy, even for beginners like me. They also sent me free GoPro photos and underwater videos, which was such a great surprise. Highly recommend this if you’re looking for a Trincomalee marine tour with snorkeling and whale watching. Worth every rupee!
I didn’t know what to expect beforehand, but after we saw dolphins playfully jumping around and a finwhale coming up again and again, i was blown away by the experience. Also really happy with the staff who always tried to give us the best view and told us over and over again where the whale will come up so everyone could take pictures.
On the whale and dolphin tour, we saw several dolphins and even two fin whales. The guides made every effort to find the whales, but were respectful towards the animals. The snorkeling afterwards was great! Our guide even took a picture of an underwater cave for us with our camera. We saw lots of fish and a sea turtle. A fantastic trip!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Malinga was an excellent driver and guide! He was very kind, gave us interesting explanations throughout the trip, and was always helpful and attentive. He also took us to a fantastic place for lunch. We had a great experience thanks to him — highly recommended!
It was really amazing! They really did their best to get us some great views of the dolphins and whales! We saw lots of dolphins and whales!
