About this list

If you want to go snorkeling with sharks in the Maldives, the useful question is not whether the sharks are there but who will take you to them that way. Maptlantis lists only the 45 operators in the Maldives that name the shark as a target species and actually run snorkeling. 23 of the 45 operators (51%) publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, Jan–Nov, Jan–Apr, Jun–Nov and Nov–Apr among them. There is no single season for shark trips in the Maldives, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. Operators with structured encounter data list nurse shark, whale shark, dolphin, manta ray and sea turtle as target species. Ways to meet them: boat-based watching, snorkeling, ocean safari and scuba diving. Whether you may enter the water and what distance rules apply differ by country and operator. Check the program details and legal status on each operator page first.
