A holiday of a life time in an exotic beach destination such as Maldives may not be complete without a dolphin watching trip. Many resorts in the Maldives offer dolphin watching trips and it is one of the most popular excursions among the tourists. But, there is a problem. Resorts can't guarantee that you will see dolphins. It is a matter of chance, it may also depend on weather conditions and seasons. In that case you may want to find out which resort gives the best chance of seeing dolphins.
Muli Channel in the Meemu Atoll is rarely known and talked about. But, it is definitely one of the best dolphin spots in the Maldives. There are only two resorts in Meemu Atoll, Medhufushi Island Resort and Hakuraa Hura. Fewer resorts in this atoll may be the reason it is not widely known in the travel community.
Dolphin watching at Muli Channel gives a success rate of 85%, all year round. Better the weather is, better chance of seeing dolphins. At this spot the dolphins are very friendly, usually follows that boat and perform high jumps if you clap and applause. Believe it or not, dolphins got a great sense of humour. They may not understand your language but they seem to understand you very well.
Best times to see dolphins are between 9.00hrs and 10.30hrs in morning, and from 15.30hrs till 17.00hrs in the afternoon. There is more chance in afternoon than morning and the amount of dolphins are much more. In the morning you often see few and they go down when boat goes close. But, in the afternoon they follow the boat and reacts friendly.
You don't have to feed or do anything to watch dolphins, the boat needs to slow down and they would follow the boat. Giving an applause is a great way to get them perform really good. #Dolphin #Maldives #SunnySideofLife
