I'm researching Maldives trips that will allow me to check off a bucket list item of mine, to see whale sharks in the wild. Which of your trips offers the highest likelihood of seeing them?

Our Whale Shark Snorkeling Conservation Cruise would provide the best opportunity, but our first available departures are in February 2027.

How many people are booked on this trip?

At present we have no bookings for that departure date. Are you flexible with dates?

Is there a single supplement fee for having my own room?

We offer a single private room or the option to book as a twin share with another traveller at a lower rate. Private Single Room USD1899. Twin Share Room USD1599 per person.

Great trip!!!! Communications was lacking at times. Lots of marine life sightings! Highlights: Seeing 5 mantas on one snorkel and on the last snorkel 12 sharks swam right to the side of us!! Enjoyed the doral reef restoration, but the survey part time could be used for something else. It's very hard to watch the sea for an haour and a half w/o getting very tired and sleepy. All while the guide listened to music on his phone. Lots of colorful fish, eels and octopuses too. Overall a very nice trip.Show more

  Traveler•Written February 2026
  I was looking at your 7N North Ari Island Hopping tour on Tourradar and on day 5 it looks like I can add an excursion to South Ari Atoll to try to see whale sharks? If that's true for the January 24, 2027 trip, then this itinerary sounds perfect to me!

  Traveler•Written February 2026
  I like the itinerary for the 7N North Ari Island Hopping tour, just want to make sure the optional full-day trip to try to spot whale sharks happens in January?
- Secret ParadiseOperator•Written February 2026
  Yes, there is an option on the free day in Ukulhas, however to note: Unlike the other activities in the itinerary, we do not lead this activity and therefore can not guarentee ethical and responisble whale shark encounters. Excursion operators who provide this trip on the island may operate based on a minimum number. The tour may not go ahead if weather or ocean conditions are not suitable. As marine life in it's natural habitat no one should provide you a 100% guarentee of an encounter.

  Monique
  Traveler•Written February 2026
  I'm between your itinerary and one other and I like that yours is on 3 different islands, but the other tour guarantees we'll go out in search of whale sharks (of course it can't guarantee we'll see them, but I want to try!) because it's based on one island the whole time.
