The absolute peak season for dolphin watching in Kalpitiya runs from late November to April. During these specific months the ocean is remarkably flat and visibility is perfect.

Between December and March you can frequently encounter super pods of Spinner dolphins sometimes numbering in the thousands swimming right alongside the boats.

If you visit during the summer months between May and September the strong winds make the ocean incredibly rough and almost all responsible operators completely cancel their boat tours.
