The western side of the country would be the famous spot if you were to see these sea creatures during the period between November and April. The eastern side is occupied by tourists for the same activity between May and October. Most luxury holiday Maldives packages state in their list of attractions sighting whales and manta rays. The likes of Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas would attest to the spectacle.
Diving and snorkelling
During your snorkelling or diving session, you are sure to be ambushed by manta rays and whale sharks; you can also see dolphins, turtles and other types of colourful fish into the bargain.
Sighting manta rays
Visiting Addu Atoll is a sure way of sighting manta rays all year round.
Sighting whale sharks
South Ari Atoll is an excellent spot for the sport throughout the year; you can see a fair amount of manta rays too.
The climate
The climate is quite humid all year long; however, the heat is much dialled down by the cool sea breeze.
