Best time to visit：Jan-Mar, Nov-Dec(Open all year)Koggala36.7 km from downtownHighlights:Sri Lanka, a tropical island country in the Indian Ocean, has become a paradise for sea fishing enthusiasts around the world with its long coastline and rich marine resources. Here, there is not only the unique cultural landscape of stilt fishing that has been passed down for decades, but also the exciting deep-sea boat fishing experience. In Mirissa and Galle in the southwest, anglers can take boats equipped with professional fishing gear to chase large marine fish such as tuna, marlin and swordfish, and feel the direct competition with the power of the ocean. The dry season every year is the prime time for sea fishing because the sea water is clear and the fish are active.3 attractionUnawatuna Beach3.4

Best time to visit：Jan-Apr, Jun-Sep, Nov-DecMirissa33.8 km from downtownHighlights:Sri Lanka is one of the best places in the world for whale watching, especially in the south and southeast waters. Mirissa and Galle in the south are popular spots for whale watching from November to April, while Trincomalee in the east is ideal from June to September. Sri Lanka's waters are home to large whales such as blue whales, sperm whales and humpback whales. Blue whales are the largest animals in the world, and being able to observe them up close here is a rare experience. Whale watching trips usually depart in the early morning and last about 3 to 5 hours. They are boarded on a dedicated whale watching boat with experienced guides and crew who will provide tourists with detailed explanations about whales and marine ecology. In addition to whales, tourists also have the opportunity to see various marine life such as dolphins, turtles and flying fish, making the entire journey more colorful. Whale watching is not only an exciting adventure, but also an important opportunity to understand and protect marine ecology.8 attractionWhale watching Mirissa with Geeth5.9
