The clear, warm waters and shallow reefs make the South Ari Atoll perfect for snorkellers, who can immerse themselves in the house reef or join spectacular snorkelling excursions for big marine life.
Vilamendhoo Island Resort is a real favourite with our clients. The island is characterised by a picture perfect palm-fringed beach and surrounded by a beautiful lagoon.
The spectacular house reef will keep enthralled thanks to the wonderful soft corals and the huge range of marine life that calls the reef home. It is also possible to join a boat and head to snorkelling sites further afield to get the very best out of your Maldivian snorkelling adventure.
Two of the most exhilarating and exciting snorkelling sites are manta point and whale shark point, which offer the opportunity to snorkel with these magnificent pelagic animals.
