The oceanic fauna of the Maldives is fascinating, with whale sharks and manta rays paying seasonal visits. Look out for sea turtles, whales and dolphins, and head to the Baa Atoll for a diving experience you will never forget. Named as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 2011, this area of the Maldives offers views of some of the most astounding coral reefs imaginable. You can even go on organized hiking trips between the islands, crossing on sand bars in sometimes waist-deep water and navigating your way around beautiful coral and rock formations. Maldivian saltwater creatures outnumber land mammals heavily – however, you’ll still get the chance to come across flying foxes and geckos.
