This tour will give you first-hand experience of deep sea fishing during your trip in Sri Lanka. We will pick you up from your hotel in Mirissa, Galle, Unawatuna, or Koggala (additional charge may apply) and drive you to the Mirissa harbor where you will start your fishing tour in the deep sea. You will have the experience of fishing for about 4 hours in the deep sea. As you go deeper towards the shelf, Sail fish, Blue or Black Marlene, Tuna, Wahoo and a few more allied species could be spotted. Your fishing tour starts at 7 am from Mirissa harbor.

Mirissa is also the main port of Whale Watching in Sri Lanka during December to April. Out of these months December, January and April are the peak months of sightings. During these months there are 95% chances of spotting Sperm Whales and great chances of spotting Blue Whales as their migration path is just off Dondra Point. You will be able to witness whales if your fishing tour falls in the Winter season (from December to April).

Arrive back in the harbor and proceed with your guide to a beach hut where you will be able to enjoy BBQ lunch with chilled beer. After lunch, you will be driven back to your hotel.
