In March, Mirissa is the place to be for whales. However, the Indian Ocean swells off the south coast can be very rolling and cause severe seasickness, even on calm days. I would highly advise against taking a 3-year-old on a 4-hour whale boat in Mirissa.

I did Mirissa in March. Half the adults on the boat were vomiting over the side. Do not take a toddler.

Trincomalee is calmer, but their whale season doesn't really peak until June-August. Mirissa in March is a rough ride.

Okay, we are definitely skipping the whale watching then. Not worth torturing the little one! Thanks.
