While staying at an Indian Ocean Resort in Maldives islands is an essential part of the holiday, this tropical destination has yet to be explored. Maldives has been listed as one of the top five places in the world for catching a glimpse of whales and dolphins. You will find over twenty kinds of species under the island’s deep blue seas which makes up roughly a quarter of the global population. Many species of dolphin can be found here namely the Spinner dolphin whose numbers are in tens of thousands. Though small, these dolphins have special gymnastic ability and really a treat to watch as they leap across the sea in the fantastic way that they do. The Spinner dolphins have a particular routine each day where they retreat offshore at night to feed, enter the keys in the wee hours of the morning and make their way to open sea later during the day. You can sneak a peek of the dolphins at a particular time of day if you go diving and exploring at Baros Maldives. There is nothing better than relaxing and observing animals in their natural habitat and you will not get a better view of dolphins playing about in the oceans than right here in the Maldives islands.
The location is also perfect for whale watching. You will find here the biggest living animal, the Blue Whale. A good way to see both the whales and dolphins if you just can’t get enough of them is to take a safari boat ride or go a cruise all around the ocean. Going on a whale watching safari would allow you to catch an incredible view and meet many species of whales who live there which includes Sperm Whale and Pilot Whale and more of the uncommon ones you’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere like the Tropical Bottlenose Whale which is said to be the most rare whale in the entire world. If you’re lucky enough, you might actually get to feast your eyes upon the killer whales or Orcas which also frequent the open stretches of sea and not just the cold waters as they are usually thought be. Maldives has some pretty incredible biodiversity and a fantastic array of wildlife species, particularly whales and dolphins. It really is the best choice of place to visit for watching dolphins and whales.
