Recently popped up as a popular tourist destination for whale watching, the best season to go whale watching in Kalpitiya is from November to April, the same as Mirissa. Kalpitiya is located on the north western province of Sri Lanka. The waters around Kalpitiya are known to be the most famous for pods of playful dolphins. Although, there are much less whales than that spotted in Mirissa, the area is great for seeing dolphins. For those lucky enough, if you head in to the deeper parts of the ocean, you might be able to spot sperm whales, blue whales, minke whales and melon headed sperm whales!
