One of the most attractive tourist destinations in South Asia is the picturesque nation of Maldives. Home to some of the world’s best beaches, Maldives is the ideal destination for a tranquil coastal vacation, the likes of which you will never forget. With pristine white sandy beaches, warm turquoise waters, breath-taking scenery and mild tropical weather conditions, Maldives is the one of the best destinations for a vacation spent outdoors. A great hotel that offers tranquil accommodation with many things to do in Maldives is the PER AQUUM Huvafen Fushi.
The waters surrounding the islands of Maldives are known for being home to a thriving marine eco-system, and therefore, it is a great place to witness all forms of marine life. And the same can be said when it comes to dolphins and whales too. Over the years Maldives has gained a reputation of being one of the hotspots for dolphin and whale watching, so anyone who wants to watch these majestic creatures should definitely give it a try while in Maldives.
The waters of Maldives, which are clear and have minimal currents, are excellent for watching whales and dolphins. At present at least 21 species of dolphins have been known to swim through the waters of Maldives. These include Spinner Dolphins, Striped Dolphins, Bottle-nose Dolphins, and Spotted Dolphins. However, when it comes to whales, the species present are largely limited to Blue Whales, although Killer Whales and Orcas have been spotted on occasion. The best time to head out to watch these gentle creatures as they playfully swim and breach the surface is early in the morning and at sunset. You will get the rare opportunity of witnessing entire shoals of dolphins gleefully leaping out of the water and diving back in with a splash, or the amazing experience of witnessing the largest animal on the planet create a awesome splash! Although dolphins and whales have been spotted throughout the year, the best months to go whale and dolphin watching is from the months of January through April.
