Whale Shark Watching

Encounters with whale sharks in the Maldives offer a unique marine experience, with South Ari Atoll boasting the highest sighting success rate globally at over 90%. These magnificent creatures, reaching up to 12 meters in length, glide gracefully through the plankton-rich waters of the South Ari Atoll Marine Protected Area. The Maldives has a history of whale shark conservation, from fishermen to protectors, and has become a pioneer in global whale shark research, marine protected areas, and eco-tourism standards.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Marine Experience

Luxury whale shark experiences include premium snorkel safaris, private yacht expeditions, underwater photographer packages, and expert trackers using drones and local knowledge. The tours also offer eco-conscious options, such as solar-powered boats and reef-safe sunscreen, and five-star comfort with plush seating, freshwater showers, and premium snorkel gear.

Beyond whale sharks, the excursion may also reveal other marine marvels such as spinner dolphins performing acrobatics, sea turtles gliding through seagrass, and harmless reef sharks patrolling the drop-offs. Luxury partners offer resort pickups by speedboat, children's programs with marine education, and combination packages with sunset cruises. Limited spaces are available for whale shark encounters, so secure your tour today.
