Encounter exciting schools of dolphins when visiting the area of Kalpitiya, found in the Puttalam District and is easily accessible from the fishing village of Negombo. Famous for its whale and dolphin sightings, Kalpitiya can be visited by staying at a hotel in Negombo. For those in Negombo Sri Lanka hotels such as Hotel J would be an ideal choice of lodging.
To watch these creatures in their natural habitat it is advised that you head out in the morning by boat which gives you ample time to lie in wait. This marine sanctuary home to the more colossal whales will thrill you to bits as you may at times be able to see almost 1000 dolphins swim alongside your boat. The best time to be heading over to Kalpitiya is between the months of November and April where such species can be picked out quite easily. For a day with the dolphins, think no further than coastal town of Kalpitiya which is one of the most visited tourist hotspots in the country.
