    Fun Diving — 2 Dives

    Two dives, two completely different worlds. Morning light filters through the surface as you drop down to explore a coral bommie teeming with life, then follow your guide along a gentle wall where triggerfish and parrotfish go about their day. This is what diving in Trincomalee is all about.

    Whale & Dolphin Watching

    Trincomalee sits on one of the finest whale-watching routes in Asia. Blue whales — the largest animals on Earth — pass through these waters on their migration, and spinner dolphins are almost a given. Our experienced boat crew know exactly where to look and when.

What Divers Say

★★★★★

We went on a boat tour to see dolphins and it was such an amazing experience! The whole trip was really well organised, and seeing the dolphins up close in their natural environment was unforgettable. The crew was super friendly and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe.
