These charming giant marine animals have made Mirissa so famous that it is now an internationally recognized place for whale watching. Mirissa is the best place to start whale watching tour in Sri Lanka. Whales, like humans, are warm-blooded mammals and breathe air despite living in water. These gigantic mammals roam throughout the world’s oceans. Among the existing Whale species, Blue Whales are the largest animals ever known to have lived on Earth.
