Explore Milaidhoo’s marine world

For ocean lovers, there is nothing better than snorkelling in the Maldives on a Baa Atoll Island, which is acknowledged as one of the best snorkelling destinations in the world. The vast array of marine life in Maldives never ceases to astonish, and the crystal-clear visibility makes it a haven for underwater photographers. The ocean has a therapeutic allure and spending hours snorkelling around the reef has a calming and peaceful effect on body and spirit.

Set in the heart of the protected Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Milaidhoo’s house reef is one of the best things to do in Baa Atoll. The house reef can be accessed from the outdoor steps of your water pool villa or directly from the beach. Snorkelling equipment is complimentary and is available from Ocean Stories Aquatic Centre.  Snorkelling around the house reef offers you a rare glimpse into an enchanting underwater wonderland filled with a vast array of reef fish and vibrant corals. Shoals of fusiliers, jackfish, angelfish and triggerfish. Disc-shaped butterflyfish, surgeonfish and schools of anemonefish and oriental sweetlips. Whilst gliding about, you will encounter green turtles, eagle rays, stingrays, and moray eels. The marine life, tropical fish and soft corals found on the Milaidhoo reef is extensive and extraordinary.Ocean Stories Aquatic Centre also offer a range of different snorkelling excursions designed for all levels, from beginners to experienced snorkellers, during the day or at night. Snorkel with seasonal manta rays and whale sharks at nearby Hanifaru Bay or go on a sea turtle quest to find different species. Sea turtles nest annually on the beaches of our Baa Atoll islands.
