Dolphin Watching

The Maldives is a great destination for dolphin watching, with spinner dolphins being the most abundant species. The reefs offer world-class snorkeling, while the offshore waters are home to a great abundance and diversity of cetaceans. Visitors can take short excursions or join a multi-day cetacean-watching cruise to see a wide range of tropical species, including spinner dolphins, Indo-pacific bottlenose dolphins, pilot whales, and others. The best times for cetacean-watching are during the inter-monsoon periods of February to early May and September to early December. Families can enjoy a fun and educational dolphin-watching cruise, with the possibility of spotting these playful creatures in their natural environment
