Whale Watching
The ever smiling, mischievous dolphins will put on a show while some of the oldest and the largest sea creatures, the humpback and the blue whales, will nonchalantly glide past you, when you embark on a whale/ dolphin watching excursion off the Southern, Eastern or the West coast of Sri Lanka. The ideal locations for whale watching would be Dondra Point (accessible from Galle, Hikkaduwa and Mirissa) and Trincomalee while the sea off Kalpitiya teems with an abundance of dolphins.
Sri Lanka Coast Guards assures a safer season of whale watching at Mirissa.

Sinharaja Forest Reserve is a national park and a biodiversity hotspot in Sri Lanka. It is of international significance and has been designated a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Sri Lankan Elephants
Elephants have and will always enjoy a special place in Sri Lanka as they easily garner the spotlight in different fields such as cultural and religious ceremonies and also in tourism. From the grandiose and monumental age-old ceremonies and festivals of Sri Lanka to the lush woodlands of Sri Lanka, elephants seem to be thriving majestically and unperturbed.
However the truth is far different from this and every measure should be taken to conserve the valuable elephant population of the country. Sri Lanka possesses a significantly lengthy history with regard to the trade of ivory which has led to a brutal decline of the majestic elephants of Sri Lanka.
