Some hostels also sell tickets to the government-regulated whale-watching excursions.

To see wild sea turtles, you can get a tuk-tuk to Parrot Rock at Mirissa Beach. Sea turtles are spotted often here during the early morning hours and at dusk. Even if no sea turtles are spotted, the Parrot Rock beach is beautiful, with turquoise waters, endless palm trees, and vibrant coral.
