Sri Lanka may have been known by many different names over time but it has remained a tropical paradise throughout. The island is known for its exceptional beauty and despite widespread urbanisation much of it is still covered in lush verdure. The tropical island is a biodiversity hotspot and is home to an amazing variety of wildlife, a significant portion of which is endemic. The country is a highly attractive vacation prospective for those who love nature and no trip to this place can be considered complete without going on a safari. The island of Sri Lanka offers plenty of options when it comes to safaris. There are more than a dozen national parks and reserves and they are home to a vast range of animals including majestic elephants and elusive leopards. Although most of these parks are found inland there is no reason for tourists visiting the coastal regions to miss out on the fun. The warm waters off the island's coast are teeming with life. In addition to plenty of colourful exotic fish, one can also spot dolphins and whales. The best region to go whale and dolphin watching is in Mirissa. Mirissa is on the island's southern end and is a highly popular destination within the country. Lucky tourists will get to observe Sperm Whales and Blue Whales (the largest type of whale) in their natural element. The most common type of dolphin found in these waters is the Spinner Dolphin. The best time to view these gentle creatures of the sea is between December and April. There are quite a few operations that conduct these tours so one should look around before picking one. Usually the expedition will start early in the morning and will go on for several hours. It is a fun activity for the entire family and those with the time should definitely consider doing it. Sri Lanka is a highly popular tourist destination and receives many tourists throughout the year. Tourists looking for a good Sri Lanka beach hotel can try Mermaid Hotel & Club. The Kalutara hotel is situated in a lush coconut grove found by the beach. It is the ideal accommodation choice for travellers who do not want to stray too far from the island's warm, turquoise waters.
