The Maldives is home to some of the planet’s most diverse marine life and provides unique opportunities for aquatic encounters.
Here on Mudhdhoo Island, we’re part of The Maldives’ first and only UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Our 360-degree house reef is home to endangered sea turtles, rays, colorful fish and reef sharks.
Just 15 minutes away by boat, Baa Atoll’s protected marine park, Hanifaru Bay is a tropical haven for yet more rare and exotic aquatic life. The secluded bay comes alive with plankton from May to November each year, attracting manta rays and whale sharks to feed and play. The experts at our Ocean Dive Center are on hand to whisk you over to Hanifaru’s deep blue waters for the unmissable chance to snorkel with these gentle giants.
Due to varying sea and weather conditions, it is sometimes possible that you will not see any marine animals during excursions. This occurrence is due to the unpredictability of nature and is not under the resort’s control.
Only guided fishing is allowed during scheduled excursion activities. Please contact the Dive Centre for more information.
