Dolphins seem to have a strange bond with Maldives. Though known as one of the smallest countries in the world, Maldives is placed as one of the five topmost locations to spot whales and dolphins. That said, scientists have discovered that this little island is home to at least 20 species of dolphins and whales.
Whoever visits Maldives will naturally get familiar with the sight of its sea and coral reefs. The beautiful sea, striking beaches and the peaceful lagoons are salient features that no nature lover can miss. So to say, in Maldives, places to visit are quite a lot in number. Every place offers a unique natural experience.
And the addition of dolphins and whales comes as no surprise at all.
The most common amongst them are spinner dolphins. If you watch them closely, you will notice a regular pattern in their routine. When nighttime dawns, these creatures feed offshore. During the wee hours, they would make way to the atolls. As afternoon dawns, they would get back to the open ocean. With this specified schedule, you will find it quite easy to spot the creatures.
Most dolphins and whales roam in their familiar territory, ocean. You can still keep a close watch on the sea for any dolphins or whales, thanks to the growing number of water villas such as Adaaran Prestige Water Villas. However, if you need to see more dolphins, go for a cruise which gives you access to more dolphins.
As you cruise deep into the sea you will get to sight more creatures such as pilot whale, blue whale and sperm whale. You will have a chance to watch seven types of dolphin: bottlenose, spinner, Risso’s, spotted, striped, Fraser’s and rough-toothed.
When you are out on watch for dolphins and whales, you will be able to set sights upon other sea creatures too, such as Skuas, tropical birds, frigate birds, terns and shearwaters.
