What we really love about the Maldives is it's actually an incredible wildlife haven”
Whale sharks can grow to 20m in length and can be spotted swimming in the depths of the South Ari Atoll. These are gentle creatures and live year-round in the Maldives.
They are similar in size to a chicken, but their wingspan reaches close to 7.5 feet!
The giant manta ray is one of the largest rays in the world, with a 29-foot wingspan! They can also live to 40 years of age.
