It is wrong and illegal Under Sri Lankan Coast Guard and DWC regulations boats must stay 100 meters away from a whale reduce speed to a no wake crawl and approach parallel to the whale NEVER from behind or head on If your boat breached this you should report the boat registration number to the tourist police or coast guard
