Set out at dawn to witness large pods of spinner dolphins — sometimes numbering in the hundreds — leaping and spinning in the waters off Kalpitiya. Sperm whales are also spotted during season.
Cruise through the serene mangrove-lined lagoon of Kalpitiya by boat, spotting migratory birds, monitor lizards, and the region's unique coastal ecosystem at golden hour.
