Overview

Set sail from Dutch Bay, Trincomalee on a 7-hour catamaran cruise to encounter majestic whales and playful dolphins, followed by swimming, snorkeling, and stand-up paddle boarding near the historic Koneswaram Temple.

Your adventure begins at Dutch Bay, Trincomalee at 6:15 AM, where you board an elegant sailing catamaran and cast off at 6:30 AM into the open sea. Over the course of this 7-hour ocean voyage, you will venture into the deep waters in search of the ocean's most magnificent inhabitants: whales and the ever-cheerful dolphins. While our onboard chef prepares a freshly made breakfast for you to enjoy, the crew will guide you to the bow or upper deck whenever marine life is spotted for the closest and most spectacular views. The journey then takes you along Trincomalee's breathtaking coastline to anchor in the serene Back Bay, near the revered Koneswaram Temple. Here, the crystal-clear waters invite you to swim, snorkel with provided equipment, or glide across the surface on a stand-up paddleboard, all before sitting down to a delicious freshly cooked lunch on deck. At the end of this unforgettable day, the catamaran sails back to Dutch Bay for your return.
