Types of Dolphins
The waters surrounding the Maldives are home to an incredible seven dolphin species. Spinner dolphins are the most commonly spotted, with a chance to witness them swimming wild and free. Depending on the time and location, you have a chance to see other species like bottlenose, striped, spotted or Risso’s dolphins.
Planning Your Excursion
The North Male Atoll is a prime location not only to find the best water villas in Maldives but for dolphin excursions too. Stay at resorts here with Green Globe certification, committed to sustainable tourism. This includes properties like Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldivas offering family-friendly dolphin spotting escapades aboard traditional boats called dhonis and more modern speedboats as well.
The Ideal Times
Spinner dolphins follow a predictable routine. They feed offshore at night, entering the atolls in the early morning and returning to the open ocean in the late afternoon. Excursions typically take place either early in the day or, the more popular option, during the late afternoon or evenings for a chance to witness their playful antics as the sun dips below the horizon.
Things to Keep in Mind
Apply sunscreen before you embark on your journey and bring a cap or hat and sunglasses. Have a camera ready to capture the magical moments but remember to also put it down and simply enjoy the experience of seeing dolphins up close. Avoid loud noises that might scare them, and never attempt to feed them or pollute their environment by throwing litter overboard.
