Whale shark trip

  • Description

    The South Ari Atoll is one of the few places in the world where whale sharks are found. Take the plunge as we swim together with these gentle creatures of the deep, a profoundly humbling and moving experience.

    Fortunately for us, whale sharks are found right here in the Maldives, on the southernmost outer reef of our atoll. We’ll take you out by boat to the best spots to swim with the world's largest fish, through beautiful reefs surrounded by fascinating corals alive with tropical marine life or simply drift alongside in deeper channels. There’s no doubt that this is a life-changing experience, often a highlight of a trip to the Maldives.
