Whale sharks of South Ari Atoll

Maldives Alif Dhaal Mahibadhoo

South Ari Atoll is one of the few places in the world where whale sharks, the largest fish, can be seen all year round. Snorkel with them on boat trips from local islands such as Dhigurah or from resorts. Manta rays gather at cleaning stations nearby.


Keep your distance and don't touch them. Boat trips are weather-dependent.
