Private turtle snorkeling near Mirissa. Swim by sea turtles at Parrot Rock, get photos and videos, and enjoy a 1-hour guide-led outing.
“Had a great time and saw 2 turtles. Would definitely go again and recommend to anyone unsure of going snorkeling.”
Mirissa snorkeling with sea turtles in Kotapola, with gear, guide, boat ride, pickup, and ProCam photos, for $29 in about 1 hour.
“Had such a great time snorkelling with the team here! They were easy to communicate with, plenty of amazing fish and turtles to look at ! The team felt like a family and made sure you were satisfied with your experience. Highly recommend! A little side note to the other snorkelling services out there: it seems like they allowed snorkelers to touch the turtles - pls don’t let them do this, it’ll damage their shell and it’s important that we don’t interfere or interrupt them. Thanks to the team here in supporting this and for protecting sea life.”
Snorkel with sea turtles in Mirissa, Sri Lanka. Free pickup, gear, snacks, and a guided swim for about 2 hours at $24.
“I was very satisfied with the snorkeling trip and saw plenty of turtles, which was an amazing experience. However, it is quite expensive considering that you can also walk into the sea on your own and potentially see turtles without a tour. Overall still a nice experience, but the price feels a bit high.”
5-hour Trincomalee whale and dolphin cruise plus Navy Island snorkeling, with guided reef time, sea turtles, and free underwater photos.
“Really well organised company, good snorkelling equipment, great guides. Whale and dolphin watching was also terrific. You could probably find a bit cheaper if you search around but I’d highly recommend these guys - did an excellent job”
Snorkel Sri Lanka’s Pigeon Island National Park on a small-group boat trip with gear included, plus pay-on-site entry ticket.
“Booked at the last minute and it turned out I was the only one on the boat from the location south of Nilaveli… a restaurant on the beach. The trip to Pigeon Island was a 10 min hop.”
Snorkel Pigeon Island off Uppuveli for sea turtles, black tip reef sharks, and coral, with guided small-group safety.
“Loved it. Cannot believe I saw a turtle and shark with my own eyes. The tour guide is so friendly and helpful. Perfect day.”
Small-group blue whale snorkeling off Mirissa, with gear, snacks, and hotel pickup. Look for blue whales, fin whales, and more.
“Fantastic! I saw pilot whales, dolphins and turtles. Then, unbelievably, a massive fin whale swam underneath us. Incredible. The skippers are skilled in finding the whales and are friendly and helpful.”
Snorkel Pigeon Island Marine National Park near Nilaveli with masks, fins, boat ride, and a chance to see turtles and blacktip sharks.
“Nos hicieron quedar en un punto para pagar y darnos las aletas, gafas, tubo y una botella de agua. Cuando llegas a cada persona les dicen una cantidad a pagar, nosotros pagamos 25.300 LKR por dos personas, pero otra pareja pagó 30.000 LKR... Otros chicos que había en la isla nos dijeron que habían pagado 27.000 LKR... La barca se nos rompió de camino a la isla, nos remolcó la policía marítima y luego cambiaron la hélice en medio del mar. l Llegamos a la isla, nos dejaron allí durante 3 horas para hacer snorkel a nuestro aire y vimos muchas cosas. A la vuelta nos trajeron a una velocidad…”
