How many days
in Trincomalee?

The luxury answer: 3 nights.

Trincomalee — Trinco — is the historic east coast port, with a colonial Dutch fort, the cliff-top Koneswaram temple and miles of white-sand beaches at Uppuveli and Nilaveli just to the north. It is the natural base for blue-whale watching from May to September.

1. Day 1 — Arrival. Private transfer or internal flight, sunset at Swami Rock.
2. Day 2 — Pigeon Island. Dawn snorkel charter, lunch at the beach, slow afternoon.
3. Day 3 — Whales. Private blue-whale charter at sunrise, return for late breakfast.
