Two animal lovers, who met on the beach in Mirissa in February 2024. Sharing same interests, values and goals, we never stopped talking since then :).

The sun was too hot, but my mood reached the freezing point. Thirsty and tired, walking back to the hotel from the secret beach in Mirissa, I couldn’t decide if and with which company I will do the whale watching tour. The offers were very confusing, prices different and results from same day varying from stand to stand. Giving up slowly, I decided to talk to every whale watching provider I would meet on the way.

I stopped at Samin’s beach office. Seeing me standing there with my long freediving fins and 7kg backpack, he offered me a seat under his umbrella. After sharing his water and chocolate with me I was more than happy to stay and talk about whales and animals.

I haven’t seen a blue whale yet, but together with Samin and our team I see a huge opportunity for the future: Show YOU the animals of Sri Lanka and Maldives in an ethical and sustainable way. Teach about the animals, protect our nature and build a community who will spread the message.

Ready for the adventure?

37 years old, born in Mirissa. After being a fisherman many years ago, I decided to stop killing fish and fell in love with whales and exploring these beautiful animals. My father taught me a lot about the Indian ocean and I would love to give my experience to anyone who loves to learn about it.
