In a list compiled by Lonely Planet, Maldives has been chosen among one of the best destinations in the world for swimming with whale sharks. Whale sharks are year-round residents in Maldives, tending to favor the western side of the Indian Ocean archipelago from May to December, then heading to east until April.
You can spot whale sharks all year round. However, if you want the best chances of seeing them, you can visit around the beginning and end of the monsoon season, in May and November, or even December when there's good visibility and calm waters.
There are no resident sharks in the Maldives; however, several species of sharks visit the country during their migrations. The largest population of sharks visiting the Maldives is the great white shark, which can be found in abundance off the coasts of North Africa, Europe and Asia.
They make a huge effort to get you in the water as long as possible with the Whale Sharks and the experience, albeit expensive, is much better than the one offered by the inhabited islands on budget tours. The cost is around $260 per person.
The best time to visit the Maldives is between November and April, outside of the monsoon season. We recommend staying during March and April (excluding the Easter holidays when pricing is more expensive) when you will enjoy hot, dry weather and quieter resorts.
Snorkel with some of the ocean's sleekest predators - white tip and blacktip reef sharks, on reefs just a 15-minute boat ride from the resort. Reef sharks are harmless to humans, but their long agile bodies and lightning-quick reflexes make them a feared predator to smaller fish.
Whale sharks gather during the summer in two areas around Isla Mujeres. Most operators will snorkel off Isla Holbox, where the whale sharks gather to feed on plankton and krill.
