If you enjoyed watching the BBC’s Blue Planet II this weekend you may be inspired to take a holiday to spot marine wildlife for yourself.
Cantaloupe Hotels in Sri Lanka are offering a series of Big Blue Experiences at two of its boutique hotels. Guests at Cantaloupe Aqua and Cantaloupe Levels can now discover an array of marine mammals in their natural habitat, including blue and pilot whales, turtles and dolphins.
The geographical position of Sri Lanka, with its warm currents, flows and undertows, makes an ideal breeding ground for turtles and blue whales. The waters off the island’s south coast are home to spectacular ocean wildlife and form the breeding ground for a 200-strong pod of blue whales lying just six miles offshore. There are few better places to see the largest animal on the planet in its natural environment.
Guests at the luxury hideaways can expect to be looked after by an expert guide and offered a series of energising multi-day experiences that also include visits to the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery – dedicated to the conservation of five of the seven recognised species of sea turtle worldwide.
Cantaloupe Hotels Big Blue Experiences start from £670 for a three-night/four-day package, and include accommodation with daily breakfast, airport transfer, a whale-watching experience, a visit to the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery, plus a Sri Lankan dining experience for two.
