About Whale Watching Mirissa
Our Story
Our journey began over a decade ago when a small group of local fishermen from Mirissa decided to turn their passion for the ocean into something meaningful.
From humble beginnings with one small boat, we’ve grown into a trusted tour operator welcoming travelers from across the world — from Europe to Asia and beyond.
Today, we operate licensed, modern boats equipped with safety gear, life jackets, first-aid facilities, and experienced crews who know the southern waters like home.
Every trip we organize is powered by local expertise, community support, and a deep love for marine life.
