Overview

This route takes you into the less-traveled northern atolls of the Maldives – Baa, Raa, and Lhaviyani – known for pristine reefs, rich biodiversity, and fewer boats. The highlight of the expedition is Hanifaru Bay, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve famous for its incredible manta ray feeding aggregations.

Image 82.png
IDEAL FOR:

Manta lovers, photographers, and anyone looking for unspoiled reefs, quiet anchorages, and a deep connection with the natural beauty of the Maldives.

Image 20.png
Diving Highlights:

✔ Drift dives and thilas rich in fish life and soft corals

✔ Remote sites with healthy coral gardens and macro life

✔ Possibility of sharks, rays, turtles, and schooling fish


✔ Stunning reef topographies and cavern systems in Lhaviyani Atoll

✔ Dive sites with excellent visibility and minimal currents


Hanifaru Bay (Snorkeling Only):
Between July and October, plankton-rich currents attract dozens, sometimes hundreds of manta rays to feed in the shallow bay. With a bit of luck, whale sharks may join the spectacle. Snorkeling here is regulated and guided, offering a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience.
 

Image 80.png
For Snorkelers:

This is one of the best routes for snorkelers, with calm, shallow reefs, frequent manta encounters, and the unforgettable Hanifaru experience. Coral gardens and reef edges are accessible from the surface throughout the cruise.

Beyond Diving:

Enjoy remote sandbanks, and visit local islands that are rarely seen by tourists. A relaxed itinerary with a strong focus on nature and serenity.

Very nice cruise, you won't get bored!

"This cruise allows you to see a lot of different species, the dives are varied and you won't get bored! Night diving with manta rays is an unforgettable experience. The diving with nurse sharks is impressive because of the proximity to the sharks. The organization of the dives is satisfactory, the crew, the captain are very professional and really at your disposal, thank you to them! I recommend this destination, see you soon!"

Amazing Diving Experience with EcoProDivers: Above and Beyond!

"The crew made every effort to ensure an enjoyable diving experience. I was particularly struck by the crew's friendly smiles and excellent service. When two manta rays appeared on the surface, we were allowed to go snorkeling, which was great because I could swim with beautiful fish unlike in deeper waters. Additionally, with the captain's help, we were able to spot whales in the ocean. The meals were excellent, with refreshing drinks and snacks provided after each dive. I’m truly grateful for his thoughtful support throughout the trip. Also, I learned a lot from my guide during the dives."

You are expected to be able to dive to a standard as per the certification and experience requirements outlined for each itinerary and, as such, able to complete the dive with your buddy or by following the dive guide.
