Tips from our tour guides...

Mirissa is a small town situated on the south coast of Sri Lanka, located in the Matara district of the Southern Province. This small but very attractive coastal city is approximately 150 km away from Colombo and is situated at an elevation of 4 meters above sea level. The stunning Mirissa Beach and vibrant nightlife make it a very popular tourist destination. A large number of backpackers visit this city throughout the year. Mirissa is also famous for whale watching, which is just an hour's boat ride away from the shore.

Tips from our local experts...

If you're claustrophobic, visiting the cave may be uncomfortable due to its small entrance. I recommend wearing a swimsuit when you visit, as you can swim inside. Despite the darkness, we we're able to go inside and swim. The water is refreshing, and the rock formations are truly captivating.
