Snorkeling Adventures

Nothing beats spending a day out on the ocean, exploring some of the prettiest reefs in the Maldives. Fish come in thousands, in a kaleidoscop of colours. Baby sharks and turtles patrol the lagoon, and the soft corals swing in the currents. Snorkeling is the easiest way to catch a glimpse of what’s hiding underwater.

Ocean Adventure

The South Ari Atoll is famous in the Maldives for its resident population of whalesharks and manta rays. The whaleshark is the ocean’s largest fish, with the average size here in the Maldives reaching 6 meters in length. Manta Rays are slightly smaller, with maximum wing spans of 5m.

Despite their size, these creatures are harmless, and their gracefulness in the water makes swimming with them one of the most sought after experiences on Lily Beach.

Join this speedboat excursion for the chance to swim with two of the ocean’s most incredible creatures.

Coral Garden Snorkeling

This spectacular snorkeling site is a just a few minutes dhoni ride away from Lily Beach and offers the chance to snorkel with a host of colourful Indian Ocean reef fish.

House Reef Snorkeling

The house reef which encircles Lily Beach is renowned in the Ari Atoll for its great coral life and abundance of fish life.

This guided house reef tour includes a short, shallow water introduction session with one of our guides, which is then followed up by a tour of the house reef.
