The Maldives

The Maldives has more than a thousand islands, so even if you were to spend a long time traveling there, you wouldn't get bored. Numerous luxury resorts welcome visitors to their private islands, while the Maldives' 200 or so local islands invite you to experience their history and culture. Before you go whale watching for the first time if you have never done it before, learn a little bit about these animals and the activity. There are roughly 90 different whale species in the world. Only 14 of these, however, have a chance of being sighted in The Maldives. On day trips to the Maldives that are specifically created for whale watching, you can get a good look at some of these marine mammals.
