Is a Sri Lanka - whale watching honeymoon a good idea?

I've been consulting with Chatgpt about flying to Sri Lanka in December and checking off whale watching from my bucket list along with celebrating my fresh marriage away from home. But I have a hard time trusting AI in this, so I'd love to hear your opinions and tips 🙏

Why don't you go swimming with Southern humpbacks in Tonga, specifically Vava'u? Make sure you pick a tour lead by marine biologists. They know not to bother the whales or cause stress and the best places for scuba and snorkeling, which is the best I've ever experienced in my life.
Tonga is one of the only places on earth that has a whale sanctuary. You'll see mother and calf here as they grow up there before taking the trip down south.

From what Ive heard, whale watching in Sri Lanka is no longer reliable as the whales have moved and are now rarely seen where they used to be. Whether that is because of disturbance from whale watching boats or for other reasons is up for discussion. Plenty of other great things to do in Sri Lanka but if you are specifically wanting whale watching, I'd choose a different destination.

Don't use chatgpt it's shit and bad for the environment.
But you can go see blue whales in Sri Lanka. You need to go quite far out to sea but that's a nice relief from the heat.

First off, talk to actual people cause ChatGPT can fuck you over. Second, most whale watching charters are very bad for the whales.
