odyssey of Sunnyside
Discover the joys of snorkelling and visiting sandbanks in the Maldives.
The Maldives is home to many sandbanks. A sandbank is a tiny emerging island with scattered sands, featuring a crystal array of blue-green colors. Sea birds can often be spotted cruising over the sandbanks. The feel of a sandbank offers a unique experience, providing a sense of seclusion from the world. Whether you are visiting for a honeymoon or a party, it would be fun to spend a day on these beautiful tiny islands. Some of the most beautiful sandbanks can be found in the Kaafu (Male' Atoll), just 26km away from Velana International Airport.
The Maldives reef is a true gem of the ocean, which boasts an incredible diversity of marine life. It's a place where you can witness some of the most magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The reef is home to a variety of species, including Manta Rays and Whale Sharks, which are fascinating to observe as they swim gracefully through the crystal-clear waters. The reef is also adorned with an array of beautiful coral gardens that are simply breathtaking to behold.
As you explore further, you can spot vibrant Giant Clams, which come in a range of brilliant colors and patterns, as well as Blacktip and White Tip Reef Sharks, which are both sleek and powerful. The waters are also teeming with various types of turtles, such as Hawksbill and Eagle Rays, which are a sight to behold as they glide effortlessly through the water.
Whether you're a seasoned diver or a first-time snorkeler, the Maldives reef is a place that will leave you in awe.
